Comment: I'm 47 years old now and my son is 3 1/2, born 4/14/2005. I was 43 years old when my 2nd son was born and my husband was 51 years old. My husbands first son too so he is pretty happy to finally have a son of his own. We don't plan on any more since my risks of health problems are much greater and I just don't think I have any more energy for another little one.

Comment: I had my first son when I was 23 years old and when I met my second husband I was 41 year old and had my 2nd son when I was 43 year old naturally too. I had 3 misscarages before but I didn't seem to have any problem getting pregnant at all. I was induced a week early due to high blood pressure and pre-clamsia. My son is a very healthy and happy boy. My first doctor said women at 40 don't have any chances of ever getting pregnant and after changing doctors I had a great midwife and even she had her last child at 42. So don't listen to any crazy doctors that tell you it isn't possible to even get pregnant at 40 or more.
