What is The Oldest Age You Would Have a Baby?

MsMoseley

Me... 38.

 

MrsPatterson

I hope to be absolutely done by age 35, but who knows.  I would say anytime after 40 would really freak me out.

elliotandnicole

I think 35.  That's a good 10 years between getting preg the first time and the last time.  We're only going to have 3 tops... most likely only 2.

JennRN65

Well, since I'll be 44 when this baby is born... I'll have to say 44

mrs_sherod

Good question...my first thought is 26, since I only wanted one baby, HOWEVER my max would be about 32.  We were really hoping for a gurl and maybe we'll try again in a few years.

bakermommy10

I'm thinking 30, since we started so early

Saran

I will be tied by the time I'm 40. Nothing will come out of me after that B-day. LOL

honeybee111

I'll be 32 when this one is born, so if we're having another one, I want to be done by 35.

DiscusCoach

Hmmm. 40

woolgathered

I am 31, and will be 31 when I deliver. We do want one more, so I think maybe 35.

Lola'sDogMom

I'm having my first at 25 and hope to be done before 35.

ToledoDeux

I'm 38, and we'll probably be done after this baby.....but I won't absolutely rule out another if circumstances change.  No set cut-off age; I'll just make the decision in the moment.

I love you JENN!!!!!

Me: 38, DH: 44 - this is our first baby

Whenever fate and God says so.

iheartinky

28.  I love having young parents and I want to be young and healthy and active as long as I can for my children. 

IlovemyGeek

I'm 29, I'll be 30 when I deliver. We're going to try for #2 pretty fast, so I hope to be done by 35.

jrlandrigan

I'd like to have any kids we may have in my 20's but we will see. I always said I didn't want kids into my 30's (DH is 7 years older so he'd be almost 40 when I'm 30) but it doesn't seem so far off now. Deff. before 35 is my cut off.

Thank God for your reply!  I was beginning to feel like a freak!

This isn't my first but it is my DH's first (he's 35, I'm a cradle robber hehe).  I have 4 other children, 2 girls 21 and 19 and 2 boys 18 and 15.  I started young and am now pretty much starting over.  I don't regret having my other kids so young but I have to admit to feeling MUCH more prepared at this point in my life than I was back then, both financially and emotionally.

I'll be 34 when this baby arrives, and I hope I have my second baby before I am 38.

Add me to Team Geriatric. This is our first at 38. (We got married at 35) I think my cut off would be 43-45. Since it took so much work to get to this point I don't want to limit my potential. So I'll be the mom with the walker at the playground.....

Being young when you start having kids could be a benefit, I guess. I'll take having a better chance of staying married and the ability to financially afford to be a SAHM over Youth anyday.

Sheeks88

This is my last baby and I am going to be 22. So I guess that is my answer. But if you asked me 5 years ago I would have said 35.

oregontechmom

We only plan on having one so...23 or 24, depending on when I deliver Sera (she is due around my birthday).

j*&p*

I guess it depends how many kids we decide to have.  I'll turn 31 about a month after I deliver this baby and I know we want to have at least one if not 2 or 3 more.  I'd like to say 35 or 36 just to limit the risk factors after 35. 

MSC03

Man, this website really skews young.

I can honestly say that I don't have an age. I don't think I'll truly know that point until I get to it. I'll deliver this first one at 30 and we'd like one or two more.

Man, this website really skews young. 

nadiarl

32. But that is because I am starting now at 24. If I started later my oldest age might be higher.

 The latest I would have my first would be 30

jenny1980

35?

I don't know yet. I'll be 29 with this one.

 

Califlorida

maybe 35. hard to say. i may want a break after this one.

beckys96

Max would be 35 for me.  After this baby we will be taking a break...I would love to have 2 more after my first 2 are older and in school...

Vuja_de

32

yani

I have a boy so if this one is a girl I guess my answer is 30. If not I may try for one more by 35.

Mrs.tlcS

If I get pregnant, no matter what age - if I can safely deliver a baby, I'll have the baby.  Even if I'm in my 50s

I think your question is probably not what you meant to ask.

I hope to be done by the time I'm 35, but we'll see.

Phoebe Halliwell

I'm 34 and DH will be 37 when this one is born. We may just have one, but if we decide to try for another then I would prefer to give birth before I turn 38. So, preferably 36 or 37.

MandyWes

I really don't know. I am 30 and pregnant with my first now. I'd like to have 2, possibly 3 kids total - so I guess whenever it happens down the road, it happens! 

justrachet

It's difficult to say. Depends on when I get pregnant again. We had no control over it this time, so who's to say when it will happen again? I'd like to have one more kid, then choose a permanent form of contraceptive. For the age difference between this kid and the next, if I could choose, I would have the next at 30. I'll be 27 when this one is born.

AggieDee

32 was my max

It worked out perfect for us since #2 (and final baby) will be born 2 months before I turn 32.

Man, this website really skews young.

Really? It seems to be a pretty accurate representation of the ages of pregnant women I know IRL. I'm the second oldest, at 26. Maybe TX has young mothers...
