I don't think 45 is too old to have a baby,, sometimes due to circumstances, we reach our "best" life later in life and why not want to have it all? I was divorced after 21 years of marriage ,had 5 children. Three years later, I reunited with a former classmate from 3rd grade. He had been married, divorced and no kids of his own, though he did raise a foster child. At 41, I had our first child, a son and earlier this year at 43 we had a daughter. Both pregnancies were uneventful, healthy and the babies are perfect! There is a 26 year difference between my oldest and youngest child, but life is as good as can be for all of us. At first the idea of having a child later in life was a bit scary, I mostly worried about not being around as long for the baby given my age. I also thought of how I would be the older parent at Dr. appts, and later on at school events. In the end I had to consider how much my husband wanted to be a father, and how I wanted to have a full life, no limitations, with the amazing person who chose me to be in his life. I prayed for the best outcome and here we are,, busy parents to two babies under 2 and my 7 year old. If you decide to have a baby, don't delay.. We were fortunate to get pregnant easily but that's not always the case. I wish you all the best,, life is what you make it, age is but a number..stay healthy, be happy!
