Hm...let me answer this one, since others are simply going to pick on you for writing it the way you wanted.
Anyway, no it's not risky. Many people think it is, well there are risks, but they are not great. You are at an age where you still can have a very healthy baby. Doctors have mentioned before that woman at this age are putting their kid in risk for down syndrome. Actually to be accurate there is only a 2% chance that your baby will be born with that defect. So you have a 98% chance that your baby will be as normal as any other baby. Of course if you are worried and concerned about the risks always talk to your doctor. I am sure you have nothing to worry about, just keep you system clean and keep yourself healthy so you can have a beautiful baby. Also I would like to add that woman most often have babies between their 20s and 40s
Good luck with it!

I guess you mean can you have a baby at 43. Yes, I had one at 43, my first (and last). No major problems, and had a beautiful baby girl. C-section due to umbilicle cord around baby's neck.
My daughter is now 6, and the joy of my life.

You should be able to have a baby. You must not watch TV or the NEWS there has been to women to give birth OLDER Than you 59 and 66 yrs of age. HOWEVER as you get older you run the chance of having more birth defects with your child. ALSO if you use FERTILITY DRUGS YOU MIGHT HAVE MORE THAN ONE CHILD

What, are you asking for permission? How strange.
Shouldn't you be asking, "CAN I have a baby if I am 43?"

I work with a wonderful woman who had her first and only child at 45. There are more health risks to you and the child, but keeping healthy during the pregnancy and seeing your doctor regularly can minimize the risks.

you can if you still are having cylces, but the older you are the more likely that the baby may have some sort of disability

Yes of course. Be fruitful and multiply. As long as you are menstruating you can do it.
