What age do you think women should stop having babies?

It totally depends on the woman, I think. Generally speaking, the health risks are more potential after the age of forty. Ideally, a woman should try to have babies before thirty-five, but like I said...it depends on the woman and how active/healthy she is!

I plan on being finished having children by my 30s. The health risks involved when having children past the age of 35 is not something I feel like risking with my children or myself. However, I think it depends on the woman and her health as well as how active her lifestyle is.

It depends on the health of the woman. But women who have children over 35 are always at higher risk of having babies with Down Syndrome, so I'd say mid-thirties is a good place to stop.

My mom had my younger sister when she was forty-three. She had ME when she was forty. Like everyone else said, I believe it depends on the woman and what type of shape she's in.My mom had five children, all natural childbirths.

That's what I call a pro! The only downside to having older parents, in my opinion, is the fear of losing them before you're ready.My parents are fifty-nine and sixty.

Each woman has to answer this question for herself. Above the age of 35, the risks are higher. I'm sure every woman wants to have a healthy baby and a healthy pregnancy so I would think that they take pregnancy at a later age very seriously.

When they know they are probaby going to pass away before that child is grown.

Honestly, I don't think there should be a "set" age. It's different for every woman. We just need to be aware of when we and/or our bodies/minds and spouses are simply too tired.

Shortly after becoming serious with my future husband I told him I wanted to have my first child by 25 and be DONE before I'm 30. My mother had me late and life and 7 years after my closest sibling. I felt this gave me a disadvantage as far as having my parents in my life.By the time I was old enough to enjoy and excel in extra curricular activities my parents were too "old" and warn out to support me.

Another disadvantage, my parents my not live long enough to see their grandchildren I give them grow up, and will definitely not see my great grandchildren and that makes me pretty sad.

Breast Cancer is increasing rapidly, in younger Women today! Some Women under the age of forty are falling to this dreadful disease, when not so many years ago most Women fell to breast Cancer at sixty....some experts say that a Woman is at a higher risk if they have a baby after forty, due to all the hormonial changes going on in the body?

In my opinion, women over 35 shouldn't have babies anymore. There is too much of a health risk and in any case, it's more fun "growing up with you babies"! :).

Good question, but a hard one to answeri know women in their upper 40's who have been trying for years to have children naturally, but it's not happening. Now they are thinking about having children artificially. What do you say to them.

Don't have children because medically you have passed child bearing age (13-45)? Then there is the other side. I know women who conceived naturally at age 44, but when the child reached school age, other children teased them and called their mothers names: such as, your mom looks like a grand mother, etc.At the same time older moms lack the energy to participate in school, or other sporting activities with their children.

I would say, women who are of age and still want to conceive , should speak to their doctor and research on all the pros and cons.

Generally womans faced more problem at age of forty. So I think woman should stop having babies at the age of forty.

Around 40 I think because more than that will be on the risk of their lives.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
