Yes a women can have a baby after 40,but at a higher risk. As long as you keep yourself in good health and eat right, and take your ob/gyn advice things should be fine, you may need a little help from your doc in terms of hormonal meds but that is something you can discuss with him. FYI: I'm 38 and me and my hubby are trying to have a child, I need to take a med called Clomid to help with getting pregnant, and there is always invitro. Good luck to you if a child is your goal!

Yeah, there's more risks and a lower chance of conceiving, but it's definitely possible

Biologically - yes.
The question is - why would you want to? You'll be near retirement age when your kid graduates college.

yes and no.... when a women reaches a certain age (40 +) their period stops... so they can never ever ever have a baby.... but if their period didnt stop maybe they have a cahnce of getting one...
