Poll: MOMS OVER 40

My friend down the road decided she wanted a baby at 45 and she got pregnant that week with a boy. That was her only child, so it certainly can happen and it seems she is very fertile so I imagine that swayed blue for her.

I am 40 and having a little girl in July. I swayed though, no way to tell that would be the result otherwise.

may i see your sway

it is posted in add your sway section

I had my first child a boy at 42. Now I'm praying to get pregnant at 44 hoping for a girl.

Did want to mention this may be one of those things where we have to look at bigger picture here - after all, just being able to easily get pg at older age may in and of itself mean that group of ladies is coming in more "set" for blue (due to being more fertile overall). So like breastfeeding and close spacing between kids, straight numbers may not always tell the tale here.

My guess is the result is so boy heavy because the split of ladies swaying here in set at roughly 75% wanting a daughter as they have sons and the rest wanting girls, seems like this isn't an average poll as there is a certain subset of ladies on here that aren't representative of society in general xx

If any of this was clear cut and obvious, the old wives would have figured it out a long time ago.

We are looking for overall trends because of what they tell us about how all this works. Not for any kind of guarantee/magic bullet.

My grandmother had a dd at 41 and 2 friends both at 45 boys and 2 friends at 40 and 41 girls. I'm 40 and swaying girl but not pregnant yet

Not sure how you want the poll to work but I had my girl at 43 :)

I had a girl last year at 40. My first 4 kiddos were boys. But I did sway.

having my baby hopefully soon. I'm 42. However, have to admit I had an embryo donation.

Good luck Pcoop!! I had my daughter at 42 and she is now eight!! I still feel great and more than capable of taking good care of her for as long as the Good Lord leaves me here! :)

Hello ladies, I'm happy to see this! I'm 44 still hoping to be a mum. Would've gone in April for treatment. But you know how it is. Feeling kinda low. Do you think I will have to wait till April next year?

I hope not, Walker. Some evidence is seeming to indicate Covid19 is getting less fatal over the weeks and I am hoping that soon you will be back in business. :heart:

Hi, just saw this post and realized I was right after all. Already booked with clinic for April next year. This year has been a struggle, thinking it can never happen for me and all that. But in a way it also forced me to relax and accept things as they are.

Oh no, well, I'm hoping it goes well once you get there! :heart:!!
