She says that why are ppl complaining so much that shes having baby in her 40s? When men do it in their 70s?
She says she feels so much more grounded in her 40s compared to her 20s or 30s.
Imo, its better to get pregnant in 30s or 20s but i think if u feel well and grounded for in the 40s but not in the 30s, it might not b a bad idea.
If she wants a baby I guess thats her business. Age could have problems. As long as you visit your doctor throughout the pregnancy.

It is, but if her egg is defective from age it’s the kid who pays for it.
Also harder on a kid to have an older parent who is too old to do fun things with you in your teens because they are nearly a senior.

Yes thats all tru but some ppl got to leave it for later and im not gonna beat them up for it.
Its like beating up a schizophrenic parent 4 having a kid. Or a parent with MS.
Sometimes things are statistically less favourible
But its the only option.

No, it’s not. You have tunnel vision.

No.
Some ppl see kids as part of life
Some ppl have different circimnstances to you…
I’m aware of that.
Since you’re not understanding this, let me say it again.
Having a parent that is too old is always the same crappy circumstance for the kid.
I think you go and have that baby regardless. I respectfully disagree with @shutterbug

I get theres a chance of problems n stuff n i wont b around as long but no point moaning about crap cos i know that stuff obviously..
Im not an idiot.
I try to focus positively on it and hope the child can adapt to me being around perhaps 10 years earlier, perhaps not.
As i said,
I have no choice but to do it in my 40s. So not point pointing out ■■■■ crap side of life when it is not certain. Lol.
It might be good to raise that awareness generally speaking but for me i know it already cos i research.
And im doing my very best to reduce potential problems in the future for my kid.
@shutterbug
So thx for saying those things, but i already know. N doing wat i can so that my kid can have a better life than me
I’m 31 and already feel like this
I need to work on my physical health once I evict this 2nd bebe.

Parenting is a crap shoot. You can’t plan everything about it. The only thing you can do is set up as many supports around you as you can to enable the best possible outcomes. You aren’t planning a short term responsibility but a lifelong very stressful commitment.
At the end of the day you have to figure out if you have enough supports around you to make it work, or if it would be more responsible not to plan on parenthood for the sake of the baby as well as yours.
I will say you’ve been posting frequently about baby planning and are getting upset over the opposite viewpoint. This is not healthy. If this causes arguments in the future I will close the threads if I’m on duty because it seems more like you are hyper focusing on this in an unhealthy way. Thank you for understanding.
