At 39, Candice Bergen Was Pushing It

Candice Bergen
Oh yuck! I gave birth at THIRTY-NINE and it was pushing it. And whichever wOwer said no doctor should agree to give fertility treatments to such a geezer I agree with. It endangers the health of the geezer and geezer offspring. Although this 70-year-old geezer seemed to have vast support networks of grown kids to take over. It’s too big a reach. The age is way too advanced.

I agree with you , Candice, my last child came when I was 40. Of course that was 36 years ago but it was pushing it. Every time we took my son to school the kids would say :”Your grandmother is here!”. Since the numbers have changed,more and more mothers have their children later but I would say that 50 would be the max.

i was asked yesterday if my daughter was my granddaughter. i laughed, then thought, hhmmm…my sister-in-law is 2 years younger than i am and is a grandmother. of course, her daughter was pregnant at 16, and she had her at 20. both of which, in this day and age, i believe to be way too early. i started at 29, and am ending at 42.

I think 100 should be the cut-off. Just kid…ding.

42. 3.5 mos ago, still trying to get back on my feet, was on bedrest the whole time, but i have a beautiful, curious baby i didn’t think i was going to have ten years after my previous 2. however, we went into trying for her with the attitude of if it happens great, if it doesn’t oh well. no treatments, and i’ve previously had a partial hysterectomy (down to one ovary), so i really wasn’t expecting this to happen at this stage. but fertility treatments at 70, when you already have ‘plenty of grown children’ - jeesh. the idea of my mother (approx the same age) doing that makes me feel really creeped out.
