Well said Jen.
Maybe we should be more concerned with the grandparents at 30ish. Mother's at 14, who begat daughters who got pregnant at similar age...
What sort of grandparents do they make?? not tarring all with same brush, but bears thinking about....

Sorry for highjacking your thread Flashy, but just sort of happened!

Admit that I found it difficult at first, at 36, but that may have been down to the 2 for 1 offer I got, lol, plus having 4 teenagers at home at the time. Plus by the time they were 2 I was a single parent again. Once The older ones left home, not long after, didn't find it a problem, even on my own.

Thank god for that, thought it was gonna be an expensive visit for me that one lol

Re: women, age and pregnancy
 

I have 17 years between my two children, I was 39. The only thing I worried about with my son was Down's Syndrome .. refused the amniocentesis because of the risks,(although new tests coming along now), and this child at 16 weeks with results 4 weeks later, was rippling in my womb and I was already deeply in love with it. Turned out OK thank goodness.

Yes, I do worry that I will never see my son married or one of his children (he doesn't appear to be in any push at the moment :rolleyes:).

I handled my age quite well, but did find that with my grandaughter appearing 7 years later, and having to look after her over and above the normal of 'you can hand them back at the end of the day', not particularly easy ... working in Manchester too. Wasn't so much the looking after her, reading stories, playing board games etc., that was a piece of cake ... just the patience to come down to their level of age .. ya' know acting daft running around, not being able to take your attention away from her, pulling funny faces a little tiresome.

We are also forgetting the fellas here too, remember your sperm also has a fertility clock from 40 years onward and takes a nosedive which can throw up genetic problems in your offspring. So Flashy .. don't go for an older man .. :D

Re: women, age and pregnancy
 

There is 15 years between me and my eldest sister ........ and she had her first child when i was 6 1/2 ....... less of a difference between me and my niece than me and my brother!!! My mum looked after my niece for the first 3 years and then she went to a childminder nearer to home and nursery.

True, they are good, just need them to learn that no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to teach the walkie talkies to swim
