what is too old to have a baby?

Question

what is the cut off age for a woman to have a baby

Answer 1

That is up to the woman's health and the ability to care for a child. Some women have kids in their late 40's. You appreciate kids more at 30 but you should have children around 28. By then you should be settled down and also still have the energy to care for them.You do have a 2% of congenital problems in babies and it raises with age.

Answer 2

Women egg are created in embryonic state so these eggs get old as years pass, when the woman is 40 her eggs are 40 years old and their genetic material is weak so the probability for the baby to have a genetic damage raises with age, when the woman get 40 the chances of Dawn Sindrome for example are very high, so a 40 years old woman should not have babies.

Answer 3

The danger of birth defects rises sharply at age 40 though, with good obgyn care there is screening for many of these things. Some women are capable of bringing a baby to term into their 40's.

Answer 4

when you think you would not be able to be the parent the child will need you to be for his or her entire youth, 0 through 18, this is when one is too old to have a child.

Other than that, I say statistics seem to suggest 45 is a bit on the high to even higher risk side of things and probably should be avoided.
