at what age will you stop having kids (or did you)?

[mrsflowers33]

My cut off was always 35, due to the increased risks of chromosome abnormality after that. So I have two more years to try for my last girl.

I always said I would be done having kids by 25. I will be 25 in June. I am pretty much sure if this is a boy or girl we will be done. DH thinks we will have one more.

I always said I would be done by 30, well I am now 33 soon to be 34 and we'll hopefully be having our last baby by the time I'm 35/36. Much later than I had planned, but that's okay!

Hi girls I always wanted 3 kids had my first @ 32 , 2nd @ 34 and my 3rd @ 41 1/2 . I would love to have another one but I think age is catching up with me

30 years will be my cut off point. I've got five years left then - I don't know why that is, I've just always said I didn't want children after I was 30! Hopefully I can cram two more into those 5 years, but only if the next one hurries up and sticks already

I was 16 when I had DS1, 19 with DS2, 26 with DS3 and I'm 29 now....

I would've been done DONE if I had a DD for my second, I would've been Done but thankful I didn't have a DD with my ex..... But either way I knew in my heart 30 was my age cut off. I was married at 16 and divorced by 20. I gave myself 10 years to see where life was to take me... And it brought me to my wonderful DH and two more beautiful babies

I always said that I wanted to be done by 30 but since DS2 (due in August) was a boy we play to try once more for a girl so most likely I will be done by 31ish. I am gonna be 29 in October.

I always said 30.
Had my first at 22 second at 24 and im 27 this year when we start ttc again.
Just depends on how long that will take.
If its a boy, even though I'm not 100% I'd like more the option of HT in the far far future is there. That will be more than likely after the age of 30. We've always wanted to see the US, so will make it a proper family trip and see a few places before heading back to Cali for HT IF that comes around.

35 would be the best age. Scientifically it is not good to conceive babies after 35 years. Medical researchers have revealed that delivering babies after 35 will cause disabilities.

It's true your odds do go up BUT more babies are born to mothers under 35 with disabilities including Downs.
