Yes, I've read that too - it was in a study but you never know with studies!!
I know of 2 45 year olds who both had girls and one who had a boy (Sarah Palin LOL)

Growing up, I was good friends with a family of 3 girls. When the mom was 41 or 42, she was so sick and tired, she thought she had something terribly wrong with her... her 1st thought was actually cancer. It never occurred to her she could be pregnant b/c she had had her tubes tied 9 years earlier with her last dd. Well, she WAS indeed pregnant... and it was a boy!
so there are only 3 moms over 40 on this board? Please vote!! :)
I haven't found out gender, and I am only 39, but I have a friend who had a son at almost 41.
my mum had my sister at 43...
Yesterday I,ve heard of another mature mom, she's either 42 or 43 ( born 1969) and she had he first baby, it's a :xy:! It gives me so much hope!!!!
Her husband is my MIL's colleague, he's 50, but this is his 2nd marriage.
What's interesting too though is how many/what gender came BEFORE the over 40 baby, KWIM? And the studies don't give that detail! I have 1 friend who had her first babe at 40... boy :) And another who had BBG before 35, her DH had a vasectomy.... yet at 41, they had another DS :suprise:
Some people are just super lucky I guess. Gimme more boy examples, I LOVE them!
About 'advanced maternal age'- my ob/gyn and that stupid tech were treating me like I was just about to die, they were all like: Oh, 39.....that could mean lot of problems etc....:rolleyes:
Sarah Palin's boy has Down syndrome.
I watched a show where she said she knew before he was born he was going to have Down, but she and her husband decided to keep him and she said that he is a true blessing, but she was crying at the same time....
Having a baby with a Down is not the price I'm willing to pay just to have a son. I guess I'm not brave like she is.
