I believe the latest successful pregnancy was in her sixties.
At least in the industrialized west, successful pregnancy in the mother's 40s is getting to be commonplace.

Of course some can - and others can't. Some might need a little help with invitro-fertilisation treatment. Everybody is different, and there is a big difference between the age of 40 and 49. So the answer to your question depends on a host of variables.

Yes, but bear in mind that at 35 and beyond, there is a greater risk of birth defects occurring.

My mother was 43 when she had her youngest, her mother, my grandmother, was 41 when she had her youngest, and my dad's mother, my other granbdmother, was 44 when she had her youngest. Yes, women in their 40s can have children.

Yes, as long as they're healthy and haven't gone through menopause, they should be able to have children.

My mom was 42 when she had me. This in the era before fertility treatments.
