With me, I got married when I was 35, got pregnant when I was 36, and gave birth to my daughter shortly after I turned 37. When I found out, I was told that I would have a 2% chance of having a baby with a birth defect (Down Syndrome, I believe). Due to the fact that I was born with a cleft palate, I had a 20% chance of having a baby with a cleft palate. Praise God as Sara Kate was born healthy. She will be turning 22 on Saturday, the 6th of April. Thank you for sharing your story of pregnancy.

I'm glad I didn't have any children after 40. My health took a huge decline I swear the day I turned 40. My energy levels dropped and never seemed to return. I started with early menopause, then hypothyroidism and now intracranial hypertension. I find having grandkids is more fun- And so thankful for the 5 kids and 8 grandkids.

How is your diet and iron? I actually eat better now than I did in my 30s I wonder if this has been a big part of the difference for me. In my 30s I ate a lot more refined carbs. Not sure if this might help you or not but thought I might mention.

I had my four daughters at 19, 21, 25 and 28 and I wanted more and tried twice once at 31 and lastly at 33 and lost both pregnancies one at 9 weeks and then at 18 weeks and after that I couldn't bear the distress of trying again. I agree with you though about health declining past 40 I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism at 40 and I have had numerous issues in my early 40's I am now 48 and I have completely changed my diet and eating habits and I intermittent fast which has helped with inflammation which does help with my fibromyalgia and has helped me reach and sustain a healthy weight but still I feel my age and have lots of aches and pains and have to work hard to keep as fit as possible but I go through a lot of deep heat cream on my joints my husband and I joke that when we were young we would wear perfume and aftershave to bed to be romantic but now we use joint cream. I see aging as a privilege and I do enjoy aging and seeing my daughters grow and flourish in their lives. I am yet to have the joy of being a Grandma as my elder two are in the medical field so have spent a long time in University and studying, we are very proud of them but it has meant a delay in them starting families. My third born is 23 and likely to be the first to have a baby she is marrying next year and wants to start a family soon so hopefully we get the joy of grandchildren before much longer. I can't wait to buy baby stuff again and help look after my grandbabies.

It wasn't by choice actually, I had to deal with health issue and get a couple of surgeries under my adult years and I didn't want to try to have children while still not knowing if I will be okay healthwise. My final surgery was a month before I turned 40. I thought I would never get pregnant at that age. I'm 45now and my youngest is 8months. We also experienced loss a couple of months before my last pregnancy. I am beyond grateful that I have been given a chance to experience healthy pregnancies, giving birth and motherhood.

We’re 76(UK). Love watching vlogs with large families as sadly we are childless. I was a primary teacher so was lucky to have daily contact with children but it’s still not the same. I had 2 ectopic pregnancies and was fortunate to survive both. They said I would never conceive again. A few months later however I was pregnant but😂 had a miscarriage at 13 weeks. My gynaecologist offered us IVF on the NHS. It was in the early days of that treatment. We were lucky to have 5 tries at IVF but sadly each try failed. By that time I was 40 and was told it was too dangerous to keep trying. It was gutting at the time but I could understand that’s what God wanted for us. So, thank you for sharing your journey and family with me.😊😻

It was a very interesting ‘chat.’ You must have an incredibly strong body and stamina as I know many women who cannot carry multiple pregnancies due to difficulties and lack of strength, prolapse, a weak uterus, past C-Sections, etc… You said you’ve taken it easy this time, but in comparison to many, you work very hard. Lack of sleep is a big factor with babies so I don’t know how you do everything you do. I think in your case, erring on the side of safety and having the baby in the city hospital this time, especially with a history of hemorrhaging, may be wise. Your children need a momma. Different subject and varied opinions perhaps, but it still applies in the fact that some women may not produce eggs. I know of a couple who adopted embryos and had triplets. There’s frozen babies as embryos who without being adopted and implanted will as I understand have to be destroyed after a certain amount of time. Very sad! So to those out there who do not have eggs, embryo adoption is an option if you feel it is within your Biblical convictions.

Yes good points! Yes I feel blessed. I did have a partial prolapse but it was attributed to someone yanking my placenta sigh.

Yes, the Webber technique would be interesting. My 1st baby was a 24 hour induced forceps baby. I was a month overdue and the water was green so he was in distress. But the forceps did damage and years later I had a partial hysterectomy. I hope you took my comment as a complement. Each couple has to decide what is best for their own health and situation. Some husbands are sadly not supportive. But it’s sad to see certain cults and non-Christians have many children as Christians are having less. So those raises with a Biblical mindset are becoming more rare. I’m shocked at some of the humanism that has crept in to even those raised in Christian homes. I think you do great!

I respect that you have faith in a god . I do find it hard to imagine how you could put yourself in danger because of a god though. If you had died your children would have been left without a mother. Also the first part of the Old Testament in the bible basically blames women for the sun of the world and Eve was punished Tanad all women would have to give birth in pain and suffering. So I don’t think a god has any respect for a woman . Keep safe and enjoy your babies . I’d say don’t let religion decide on your health though. The good nutrition is probably a better choice.

I don’t see how I put myself in danger because of God. Because of a home birth? I could tell you some horrible tales I went through in the hospital. Actually when I was hemorrhaging and went to the er the dr try to send me home. I refused to be sent home. The city hospital said I would have died that night if I went home. The same hospital refused to transfer my son and it took me 3 days to get him transferred by then it was too late and he died. Hence the reason I don’t want to be sent to that hospital in emergency.

Everyone determines family size/ structure from their view of God. A person who believes and trust God, would trust His full provision. A person who doesnt have a certain veiw of God tends to run life in self preservation, which most times looks like little to no children. Because thats what they think they can afford/ handle/ birth.

I’m not against people believe if in hod . I just find it difficult when they say they do things because of god, like have flora of children or wearing certain clothing, or not eating certain things etc… all religions have rules and many of the rules are aimed at women . I have five children , I didn’t have them because of god. I educated them to know about what different people believe but didn’t expect them to believe what I might believe. They are all good kind compassionate people . We supported people with disabilities in a shared home: the idea of accepting people no matter who they are was lived around them. No mention of god though. A lot of groups go around telling mothers not to have an abortion but they aren’t there to mind those children when they are born into poverty or suffering . Many religious groups say help the poor , but wouldn’t give condoms to people on poor countries to help them control the oooukstions which is putting the families and their country into extreme danger. So they god question only seems to work in one way. I’m all for having children , being a good person and doing good for others , but not over populating the world and allowing millions of children die of hunger and poverty.
