Yes, of course. Good mom is one thing - stamina & longivety are another. I've seen women in their 50's and a 62 yr old having children - personally, I think they're missing a view bolts!!!

Absolutely! You're more mature and established. Generally more patient and experienced. While you might not have the stamina of a 20 something mom, you generally won't have a lot of the stresses younger people have, trying to find their niche in the world and get settled somewhere or another. I think in some ways, we, as women, are better equipped for motherhood when we're older. My oldest kids are 11 and 12, my youngest is 15 months. I find I'm much more patient now than I was when the other two were her age. I'm over the compulsion to kick into turbo mode while she's napping. The dishes and laundry can wait. I lay down with her and enjoy the sound of her breathing, admire her perfect little features, maybe doze off myself. I've gained the wisdom to enjoy this time because I know how quickly it's going to pass. Older women can be wonderful moms. Besides, haven't you heard "youth is wasted on the young"?

Yes, by far. Age is just a number, and some people do not even look or even act their age. They say that it's more challenging for them because they are older, but they can still play with their child, teach them, and best of all, LOVE THEM, just like a younger mom would. There are many different kinds of moms, what would you describe as a "good mom?" Anybody can be a good mom, no matter what their age is.

I certainly think so. I am an older mom, and my youngest is now 6. I am much calmer and laid back now than I was in my 20's, much more confident in myself and my abilities. I did the things I wanted to do, and am perfectly content now to raise my family without feeling like I missed out on anything. Comparing how I was in my 20's with how I am now in my 40's, I think I would have made a terrible parent then. At least now I am comfortable in my own skin, and not terribly concerned with what other's think. I have a much better sense of what's really important in life. All of those qualities help me with the challenges of being a parent. I was able to choose parenthood with a full understanding of what would be required, and I didn't have to give up anything I wasn't willing to give up to do it.

No she shouldn't abort it. She needed the baby, she is now pregnant with the baby and if I pronounced she ought to abort it i could be a hypocrite considering i'm against abortion. 4. specific it grew to become into very egocentric of her. Any woman that turns into pregnant previous the age of 35 is seen extreme hazard and the baby has a greater advantageous hazard of being born with actual and/or developmental handicaps. additionally, hazard is this woman will die till now her baby reaches adulthood, is that honest to the baby? looking after a baby is an extremely time eating and bodily arduous accountability. i'm 28 and can slightly save up with my son so how will a sixty six twelve months old take care of? In last, that's a terrible occasion for the pro-abortion argument and shows merely how desperate some are to tutor their stance.

Yes. Any age can be a good mother. At 18, 25, 30, 37, 45--it's not about age. It's about maturity and how the person feels.

Absolutely! The older the wiser, right? My mom was 36 when she had me. The only disadvantage is that they'll only be able to know you for about 40 years, but that's just life.

Age really has nothing to do with being a good or bad parent. I know some teens that are horrible mothers and teens that are great mothers...same holds true for older moms too. Bad parenting has no age limit.

I think there is pros and cons to both. A young mom doesn't have the financial security that an older one would have, but they have a little more energy and maybe aren't as set in their ways. They maybe remember a little better what it was like to be young.
Older moms are more secure, and probabally more confident in themselves.
