Who
Said You’re To Old To Make Babies?
It’s
very interesting to listen to the reaction from friends and family when
they learn that you’re actually planning to have a baby when you’re in
the 40 plus range. After
they, have done all they can to convince you that your really just
experiencing a mid life crisis, involving temporary insanity, you then get
to face your friendly doctor with their doom and gloom statistics, about
poor fertility, high miscarriage rates, defects, and more. It
certainly doesn’t do much for your ego to hear the constant downside of
later life pregnancy And while
it is certainly true that there are some increased risks and potential
problems with mature moms, there is also a positive side to all of this. Fact
is a larger number of women are waiting until later in life to either
start their families, or increase their families’ size. The
biggest hurdle to overcome is a decrease in your fertility levels. Your
doctor can do test to determined your current level and can help to
increase your chances of success. The
risks are not as bad as you’ve probably been led to believe, as most
women will carry and deliver a normal healthy baby. Being
an older mom myself, I found I had more patience, than I did when I was a
young mom and am more tolerant of many things in general. So my
advice to a mature woman wanting to have a baby?
