I agree because I had my 1st son at 39 and my 2nd at nearly 42 and I might add without any trouble. Now I'm pregnant again unexpectedly at 43 1/2 yrs and so far so good so yes there are definately success stories out there with us older mums.

Yeah,keep thinking positive,all of us older girls...! When I was really young I would NEVER imagine that I would have to deal with ''high risk'' pregnancies in my forties,but it happened. I had a my beautiful dd at 41 and all was fine,and now almost 43 ,I just had a positive beta! Let's be strong and offer encouregment to each other!! Anyway,today's forty is yesterday's thirty,right?

Hey there and welcome back!  Haven't seen a post from you in ages!  Congrats to your friend, and your right it can and does happen.  39 is certainly not uncommon anymore.  I am 40 and over 10 weeks pregnant now, and so far so good.  So many here are a testament to us women of "advanced maternal age"...still hate that term....having sucessful and healthy pregnancies.  One of our members is pregnant with a healthy baby girl at 45.  Every women is different, and although we should seek assistance earlier then our younger counterparts if having trouble, we should not let age deter us from giving it a shot!

I was 41 at the birth of Gavin.  He is now 6 months old and a healthy beauiful little boy.  I miss being pregnant....I want another one ;)

Congrats to your friend - I remember when my sister who was 40 at the time had a baby w/out even trying - complete accident so there's definitely hope (always).  Now that I think about it, my own re had a baby at 43 although that's less common.
