I know people are living longer which makes it easier to worry about age less, but the kid’s mother is likely going to be dead before they hit 30. The whole thing just seems like a pretty selfish move. Having kids past the age of 30 (the first child) greatly increases the risk for problems not only in the child, but also in the mother. I guess she can risk her own health if she wants, but risking bringing a seriously unhealthy child into the world seems off to me.

I think that if any woman considers having a child past the age of 40 she should make sure to have serious and in depth amounts of prenatal care. The child’s saftey and health has to be of the utmost priority.
