    No, most of the people I know in fact seem to be delaying pregnancy until their 30's. It can be harder to get pregnant and harder on your body :) But a baby is a blessing no matter your age.

    It's never too old to have a baby. There might be complication when ur over 35. Doctor are every good when they have patience that is older. There's a lot of risk but it's worth it. It also depend when was the first time u got ur period. When menopause arrive u cant have baby anymore. Good luck with everything!!

    Being 35 or old poses certain health risks to you and the baby, but with proper medical care most risks are avoidable. Other than being aware of the risks and taking care of yourself during pregnancy then its not too old to have a baby. Many women are waiting to have children and I think its a good thing, overall they are more stable and ready for a family.

    No. Your doctor will watch your pregnancy very closely due to the risks that are associated with your age though. Usually though, those risks don't really affect a woman until she is 40 or over, but doctors are cautious these days which is good. I know lots of women who were in their 30's when they had their first kids, which was good because, they were more emotionally and financially stable.

    No but it could cause complications with the baby as women over the age of 35 have increased chances of having pregnancys with complications.
