so they began....she had a baby every year for several years and whalaa...she had her seventh...
but they didn't stop at that...they now have 11...
a woman is fully capable of producing babies up into her 40's....she just needs a willing partner....
It depends. Some couples (we know a few) waited too long and can't get pregnant now that they're in their 40s and are finally "ready" (whatever that means).
As someone who's done it (had children in her 20s, 30s & 40s), I will say that even though its possible, it gets more difficult, physically.
Our last baby nearly killed me, literally. I had a dangerous, high-risk pregnancy and my heart stopped in the delivery room for reasons my doctors still aren't completely clear about.
The "bounce back" time afterwards is longer, too. It takes longer to get your figure back, have your joints return to normal, etc.
Older parents need to be fully aware of the fact that some doctors are going to push tests like amniocentesis very hard, and they need to be willing to take a stand with regard to whether or not to test, and the results of any testing done.
I have a friend who was told that her doctor would no longer see her as a patient if she didn't have a battery of tests done because of her age and the increased risk of various genetic diseases. She told him to take a flying leap, but some people are not that strong in their convictions.
