Can I get pregnant at 48 ?

Please tell me where you went in South Africa.WARMTH

you can but its hard to produce a quality eggs

It's not about the chronological age, it's about the biological age and it's well known that people who have children late live longer because their bodies have aged less quickly or they look after their bodies very well. There's a lady on this post who had a child at 48 and says her acquaintances think she's 32-38, a perfect example. Some people who have children in their 20s can die in their 50s, leaving their children without a parent, nothing is set in stone.

So what??? Me do it all the time!

Can you give me more details on The IVF in South Africa? as I am 47 and am ready too :D Thank you

Having a child at a young age is selfish too, So what do you mean no one should have children at 48..... Being a good parent and teaching your child how to live when your not around is the most important thing, as on-one lasts forever, Who know's when there time is up.... and the only reason women have children later, is they no there's ready, or have found the right partner...... So whats selfish about that? My mother had me at 44 and I very independant, self sufficient and great with people as she educated me well as she had lived her life first.... There's men and women that still with there mothers in there 30's and 40's and there parents had them youngish. Being needy dose not help anyone survive... Who can jugde???

Hi, I have 3 children ,one 20, one 15 and 6 . I had my last at 44 and am trying again, my grandmother had her last at 51 ! pretty normal then ,not spoken about . good luck, just do it . ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wow :D This is amazing 51 ;) Yes! women used to do it all the time, like it was normal because there bodies were so used to it :) the days are changed, they make everything so tequical so it seems :( and its the most naturel thing we do :) I think the more we worry about it, the less likely it happen's.... Think possitive ladies anything is possible => a ladie I new had a beautiful baby at 49 aborable (and she tried for years before)... The doctors are not always right, there just humans not Gods. Good Luck

I agree, As long as you're healthy, have your baby no matter what age you are. It's never too late to receive a Blessing (and btw if the child is 12, that would make the mother 60 not 50 - just sayin')

I hear you. I got pregnant one time and then miscarriage and then nothing since then. I have so much empathy. You ask why one pregnancy and then miscarriage. sometimes it feels so cruel to had this happen and to want a child and it just seems impossible.

You're an idiot!!! And truly need to go back (or for the first time) to school. 48 + 12 is 60! One more time, a 48 year old who gives birth will be 60 when their child turns 12!! And what the hell is it to you anyway? At the very least, I'm confident this mother of 48 will be able to ADD and teach her child accordingly. You, on the other hand, should ovoid having children at all costs!! You'll not be able to teach them a thing!!!

Hi! I just visited my doctor and have IUD removed. I was born in 1966, 48 now and wish to have a baby with my fiancé who is 61. It may be a crazy idea and may be too late but we weren't ready before. Dr told me the chance is one in 1,000. So it will be a miracle if I get pregnant. Hope you had a baby by now. I just wanted say something since I was encouraged by reading yours. Best wishes!

where to start , at feterlity dr to have baby at 48?

Depends on how much you want to try? First time in my life (I know it's sad), I was told that my partner wants to have a baby. I wished he said that earlier but we weren't ready unfortunately. I just removed Mirena 50 days ago and haven't got a period yet. With my age too at 48, I'm concerned about the risks so may be the chance is very very slim, I'm counting on the fate and luck. If I get pregnant then, it must be meant to be...

I will be 48 this month and I'm also trying to conceive don't give up its possible

Yes i agree... Thanks for being positive
