There might not be a medical reason that a woman cannot have a baby after 50, but I think there are sanity issues she might want to consider.

Why? I had my fourth child at 26 and am happy that I'm here for my 9 grandchildren, although I'm too stiff to crawl around on the floor with them. Can you imagine if I had to raise them?

I worry about my daughters who didn't start their families until 35 and 38. Will they be there for their children's graduations and weddings? There are no guarantees in life.

I have never understood why people turn into instant condemnatory busybodies when it comes to what others decide in the child-rearing department. Live and let live.

A baby in their 50's.....???? Yeah, right.........I became a Grandmother when I was 42, and would spend several hours at a time with my Grandson when he was 18 months to 4 years of age........THAT experience convinced me NO WOMAN past the age of 45 should have babies. And, I'm a woman in really good condition.(Of course, there are those with their Nannies, but hey, they aren't raising babies, just having pets.)
