In Reply to: Is 39 really getting - to old?

I had my one and only child at age 39 after being told in my early 20s that I could not have children. She has been a joy. I did have an amnio when I was about 16 wks but still would have had her regardless of the outcome. She was a miracle and still is to this day - one of the best things I ever did!!
