42-45- after that, I doubt I would have the energy for a baby!

Answer 2

I was 38 when I got pregnant; 39 when I had my son. I was wishing for another child but my marriage broke up when I was 42. I met a guy at 43 and THOUGHT about having another child (I come from a family of 6 kids) but after I did the math, I decided that have a child at my age now (45), would mean potty training until I was almost 50!!!! (My son was 4 1/2 by the time he was trained.)

So in answer to your question: 40.

The cut back-off age to have a toddler is a private subject that each woman could come to a determination on her very own.

Answer 7

45

Answer 8

35!! Check the statistics!!

The likelihood that a woman under 30 who becomes pregnant will have a baby with Down syndrome is less than 1 in 1,000, but the chance of having a baby with Down syndrome increases to 1 in 400 for women who become pregnant at age 35.

I live in an area where women put their careers first, and then decided to have children later. This was waaaayyy too late in their lives! We have so many down syndrome people, whose parents can't take care of them anymore (because they were OLD and they're either in nursing homes - or DECEASED) - they have to be taken care of in a group home!

Women who try to conceive after the age of 35 not only increase their own medical risks, but carry more risks to the child.

I'm glad that I had my kids young - they're healthy, beautiful, and highly intelligent. I was old enough to have common sense and be a good mother, yet young enough to have enough energy to keep up with my kids - and have fun!

Incidence of Down Syndrome

Under 30 Less than 1 in 1,000
30 1 in 900
35 1 in 400
36 1 in 300
37 1 in 230
38 1 in 180
39 1 in 135
40 1 in 105
42 1 in 60
44 1 in 35
46 1 in 20

Think about it - if you're child is 35, and you had your child at 35 - you will be 70. Which means that you may never enjoy being a grandparent! And we all hope to live to the age of 100, but the facts are that we will more than likely die of a heart attack or stroke much earlier in life.

60% of women erroneously listed cancer as the leading cause of death among women. Deaths from all cancers in the USA are half as common as deaths from cardiovascular disease. Only 31% of women know that cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the USA.

Women should be BETTER mothers - and think not only of their own future, but their childrens' - and their grandchildrens'!!

Answer 11

Probably 42 or 43. I know it's pushing it, but I've had friends give birth at that age and everything worked out okay. The earlier the better, but sometimes it just doesn't work out that way! I'm working on my second now, hope to have the next one by the time I'm 36.
