How many manys had their kids after 40

I’m 46 and about to have my first (and only). It was a surprise pregnancy. We were not trying.

45 with a 5 week old. We did IVF

Had my first at 41 and hoping for a second. IVF!

43 without IVF. It was a surprise and I had frozen my eggs too!

Same here! Age 45. Natural, missed 1 pill!

41 when I had my first. Did the IVF hormones but she ended up being IUI

I'm 41 years old and I just had my 3rd baby Dec 22nd. I had my my 1st baby at 37 years old and my 2nd at age 39. I'm thinking of having 1 more, however I had post partum hypertension with an elevated blood pressure and had to go back to the hospital for MAG tx and I'm on blood pressure medication. Has anyone else had this experience?

I had my first last year 3 days before I turned 43. It was without IVF and I had an early miscarriage about 6 months before I fell pregnant with her.

Had my baby girl one week before turning 41. I did ivf, and I am hoping to do a transfer in August for my second and last baby 🤞

Had one at 40 tried for 2-3 ,cycles after getting hitched. I had my surprise miracle baby at 44! Only had sex once oopsie

Had my 3rd at 41 (pregnant at 40) and was not trying (planned to start trying the next cycle). My grandma had babies at 40, 42 and 45 (my mom) and that was all natural.

40 with a newborn. Our toddler was an IUI (37) and our newborn was with no fertility treatments.

First baby at 40 almost 41 without ivf

@Chelsea I had preeclampsia in my 34th week and my blood pressure remains high 3 months later. I haven’t needed MAG since delivery, but I’m on medication still. I never had hypertension prior to pregnancy. It’s frustrating!

Turning 40 this week and currently 32 weeks pregnant. It happened naturally (after 10 years of a few losses and many fertility tests) just as I was about to kick things off with a new fertility specialist.

Got pregnant with my first at 42 naturally and had her at 43!

I’ll be 41 next month. We’ve been trying for our 4th and final since my MC July 2023. May go through IUI.

@Lauren Me either regarding any prior high BP, I'm not sure how long I'll be on the BP meds but hoping to try for #4 this summer but want to make i'm off BP meds

Had a miscarriage at 39 (accidental pregnancy). Then I had my 1st at 40 (he’s 2 now). Conceived in the 2nd month of trying (which was just lots of enthusiastic sex 😂). Had a flawless pregnancy until about 36 weeks when I got high bp. My bloodwork started showing signs of pre eclampsia so got induced at 39 weeks. @Chelsea I left hospital after 3 days then got sent back in a bad way & onto mag intravenously. Spent a week back in care, released on a 3 drug cocktail that all had to be taken at different times 😂. Bp got back to normal and off meds by 6 months pp. not sure how I’d go with another (though I think I’d like to have one)

I had my first daughter at 40 (conceived at 39) and my second daughter at 41. Natural conceptions , no fertility interventions.

I was 41 when I had my second child. Not ivf. All fine. All natural birth. He is global developmental delay possible autism but I don't think that has anything to do with my age. I had my first child at 39 and he was a total opposite. Pretty advanced with walking and talking etc.

First baby at 42 no ivf the old fashioned way 😇

Had our first and only IVF baby at 48

I gave birth a month before my 42nd birthday from an IUI pregnancy

Had my 4th when I was 41 she was a surprise, after years of trying I said will stop trying when I turn 40 x

I have 5 in total my 1st, 2nd and 3rd were natural. My 4th and 5th were IVF with donor eggs. I was 18 19 24 40 and 43

Not quite where you're looking but I was 37/38 when I conceived naturally and we had only tried for two cycles beforehand. It's great to see so many women conceived naturally after 40 though. I'm 40 now and we'd like another baby or two more.

I turn 42 this week and due with my third in April, all conceived naturally.

Third baby at 41 (one day before my 42nd birthday) … unplanned! But I’m so glad we have him! 🥰🥰🥰

Turning 44 in a few months, currently 25 weeks pregnant with my 4th and final baby, fell naturally, was trying for a year.
