My mom wants another baby?

Question

She is 42 years old, but she looks younger than her age and she's a very healthy woman. She already have four kids, including me. I'm the eldest, and have two brothers and a sister. Do you think it's a good idea for her to have another baby? =/

Answer 1

aside from the gross factor of you knowing how babies are made and how shes going to get to have the baby, i dont see why not, as long as she could afford another baby.

Answer 2

If she can financially support them, then why not? There is more of a danger to her health and higher chances of miscarriage the older she gets, but the fact is that medical technology is advancing more and more all the time, and older and older women are having babies. She'll want to have a long, long talk with her doctor to make sure this is right for her, but otherwise, why not?

Answer 3

There's risks in having a baby at that age, but it happens all the time! My mother is 45 and has a new boyfriend who doesn;t have children, and I know they;re thinking about it. I tWOULD be weird if since i just had a baby for her to have one now and have babies at the same time...but I don't mind it that;s what she decides.

Answer 4

Maybe maybe not,my aunt was 41 when she had my cousin who is now 4,She has a disability,she has no fingers on her left hand only a small stub for a thumb,and this was due to her being born late in my aunts life.

Answer 5

at her age, there's a greater chance for complications during pregnancy, a great chance of miscarriage or a stillborn, and a greater risk of birth defects in the baby. plus it is harder to conceive. i wouldnt have one at that age, especially if i already had 4, but it is your mothers choice.

Answer 6

if she is healthy, wants another and can afford a new member of the family I don't see the problem.

Answer 7

why not!
