Not me. :P I'm not even 40 yet but my sister suddenly is pregnant at 43--totally unplanned and while she was using the pill. I find myself ruminating about it b/c I worry about her health. I could be totally wrong about the risks. She's really healthy--she's in better shape than alot of women 15 years younger than her. She had two easy births at 35 and 36 but still, I haven't met too many women who were 44 when they had a baby. Now, while I understand that most people here are under 40, I wonder if people know much about older pregnancies or women you know who have been in her situation.
My youngest uncle is 8 years older tha me. I can't remember how old my grandmother is, but I'm pretty sure she was over 40 when he was born and she enver had any complications as a result fo him. And medicine sucked 40 years ago.
