Babies after 40 (naturally)

Hi everyone, I am looking for a bit of advice. I’m 39 and have not yet partnered up/ found my mate. I am starting to worry that my time is nearing an end for natural baby making. I worry about the fact that financially I won’t be able to afford ivf on my own later on. So I’m banking on having a child naturally after meeting someone. Who has had a baby at 40 and up naturally? Looking for some positivity!

I am not 40 yet, but my friend who is in her mid 40s just had a beautiful baby girl, super healthy and easy pregnancy 😊

I met my husband at 38yo and he had no children yet. While I had 2 already and I was uncertain if I could get pregnant still but he was more than happy just to have found me. We ended up getting married a month before my 40th birthday and I was pregnant naturally a month later! Flash forward to this year in March I had weaned my daughter off BF and was looking to have a break before trying for the last one again. And surprise surprise I was pregnant by the end of March😵‍💫😮‍💨 I wasn’t thrilled to be honestly but went with it and had a miscarriage May 7th which I was okay with truthfully. Then 1st week of June I still hadn’t started my period and felt a bit nauseous so made appointment to get ultrasound to ensure I didn’t need a D&C done. Lo and behold I was pregnant with TWINS!! I was shocked but felt better being pregnant in June vs March due to when I would deliver. I’m now writing this at 36 weeks pregnant tomorrow with my last child a girl named Ivy.

One of the eggs ended up vanishing so I’m only pregnant with a singleton much to my great relief😅 My husband just had a Vasectomy this past Monday because this body of mine doesn’t realize it’s damn age yet😅😅 Good luck

Aw! What a nice story. I’m sorry about your miscarriage! Looks like it all turned out well for you! So you got pregnant at 40 then 42.

Yes, naturally conceived at 40 and 42yo☺️

@Billie wow! That gives me hope.

My mom had her last baby at 42 naturally got pregnant after 4 months of trying.

I know someone who got pregnant naturally at 48.

Thanks for the responses. Definitely helpful. I only know one person who had a natural pregnancy at 40 so this is pretty helpful
