I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+

Any thought about this?

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

could you please elaborate on that

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

Think it is just a sign of the times Susie. People getting married later, combined with average divorce age in early 40's and they wish to have another child with a new partner.

Is slightly on the edge of a little too old ... but not quite if they are energetic and healthy, and have a supportive partner. Health care, of course, is better now and a good chance of mother and baby getting through it safely, unlike many years ago. Always surprises me when you start looking through the censors of late 1800's, etc., lots of children born to women of this age group .. course no birth control then.

Best of luck I say. :dummy:

And I'm not giving you mine until the jury comes back in having found you guilty of neglecting to embellish the thread with your own medical opinion as a guide to us lesser mortals, (I hope they give you lines, I must not start a thread without at least giving an impression of my own thought's to get the ball rolling).

Less Im not understanding why you are being so hostile ?
Can you elaborate?

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

I have had a lady in with a new baby a few months back who had her first baby at 48 and is suprised and delighted. Fabulous for her after years of 'infertility' then resigning herself to the fact she would be childless.
Is there an age where you become 'too old'?

There are just so many things surrounding this its so hard to have anything other than an open mind for me

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

I am not being hostile, you started a thread, to make that thread of interest to others you should at least give us a brief summary of the pro's and cons as you see them, then perhaps at least we have some idea about how you are thinking, it is a very emotive subject and to start the thread then jump promptly onto the fence is unfair on the others that read it.

I think the time to call it quits is when Mother Nature takes over and the menopause kicks in ... unlike the women who go on to have IVF after this.

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

what nonesense Less
Its like creative problem making (dont gladwrap that in trying to make out that it's not a hit on me)
I am inviting opinions, pros and plus points, environmental factors, views from other people.
I actually believe every woman or man I have spoken to about this even though they may have polar opinions..is right!
Its a good topic to discuss and thats the point of this

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

Yeah Katex, and then I get a woman of 35 who has an early menopause
twists n turns...

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

It must be nice for a woman that has been trying for years to conceive but only manages in later life, but I've always understood that there is more risk to both baby and mother in older age births, I think that women in their sixties (there have been a few documented cases recently) is wrong, especially on the child, which was highlighted when a woman had a child in her late 60s and then unfortunately was diagnosed with terminal cancer leaving the child on its own and at a very young age

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

If you wish to think of it as a hit against you I can't stop you.

But at least you have expanded on your first post a little.

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

Well, yeah ... never thought about that .... :o

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

Ya but the menopause is natures way of saying enough is enough, just a pity nature doesn't take away the broodiness when a woman of any age is given a new born to hold:rolleyes::D

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

Good grief, Jaysay even I get a broody sort of feeling when given a new born to hold, I always thought it was a natural protection sort of thing, not that I was considering having one!:eek:

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

Never quite affected me like that Less, well not in the last 20 years or so, if I get hold of a new born I quite happy with the knowledge that I'll be giving the little darling back within minutes:D

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

As long as the woman is fit and able to take care of a child then it should be her choice. Wouldn't have done for me but then again that was my choice. I do find it abhorrent when I read of women in their sixties getting pregnant, there is just no justification for it IMO and I think it is a very selfish thing to do.

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

thatll be nothing to do with single mothers on benefits being put on jobseekers when their child hits seven is it:rolleyes: ?

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

That's what I think too. :)

I don't think there's anything wrong with women in their 40s having babies but I do think it's wrong when women in their 60s have IVF to have babies.

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

Unfortunately children seem to have become a commodity in some strata of today's world, to be acquired after the 5 bedroom (two en-suite) home, his BMW, her 4X4 and the holiday cottage in France. Modern medicine has ensured that, if the potential child has any defects (Down's Syndrome is a greater risk the older the mother), it can be disposed of and the process repeated.

Unfortunately West Ender that's one of the sad facts of today's modern living :(

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
 

Well ok im only 42 and no kids .. but im not broody .. and do i want one .. dont know if i can afford one ..

think the reason behind the 45 plus is because they've either not got married and concentrated on their career instead and married late on or it could be they've married got divorced and remarried possibly to a younger fella and want a child with this one.

Re: I seem to have a glut of 45yr old+
