Age cutoff for having a baby?
I don't have one...I did though before life through curveballs my way. I got married young and wanted to have 3 kids by the time I was 29.
I ended up having DD at 29..I'm 36 now and we have been TTC for the past almost 2 years for no#2. After suffering through numerous miscarriages I realize that you make plans and God laughs so I have let go of the whole age thing. Ideally I thought I would have been done by now but oh well.
FTR: I know people who have had healthy pregnancies in their late 30s and early 40s and people in their 20s that have rough pregnancies. I think as long as your body can handle it especially with all the modern medicine and the fact that we live longer now there is nothing wrong with having kids when you are "older".

I don't have a "cutoff" but I'm 44. DH is 43. Not sure we want kids. But if we did...not sure I would want to have so late.
I'm not sure if *I* want to be 63 when my kid graduates High School.

Age cutoff for having a baby?
When we started ttc originally said 35. Took me till 34 to conceive and if we decide to have another it won't be till I'm 38 so I guess 40 is my cut off.

What is your personal age cutoff for having a baby? Just curious what your personal feeling on it is, obviously everyone is different.
I was 33 when I had dd. I will be 35 for dd2. If we went for a third I would be probably 37/38.
Edit: I was 31 when I got married and dd1 took awhile to conceive so that's just how it played out. Thankfully my second pregnancy was much easier to conceive. For me, I think my cut off would be 39 to deliver.
Are you me? lol. I got married at 31, first DD at 33 and second DD at 35. IF we have a third I will probably deliver at 38-39 too. But we'd have to decide that like yesterday.
Omg we are twins! So since you're me a couple years ahead. Any advice? Tips on 2 girls 2 years apart lol

Re: Age cutoff for having a baby?
my personal cutoff has always been 30. I had my life all planned out since I was younger things didn't work out the way I exactly intended (not surprisingly   ) but I still stayed in that range. I had my last DC a few months after I turned 31. I want no more kids if I did I would probably consider having more at a later age.

Age cutoff for having a baby?
I had my DD at 33 and now I am starting to think about #2 next year. I will be 35. If I go for a 3rd prob 37/38. We had IF issues so It could be longer or shorter or never.

Re: Age cutoff for having a baby?
Probably 40. I had my first at 29 and my second shortly after turning 33. We originally talked about TTC #3 last summer/fall, but we decided to hold off until probably this summer/fall. I'll be 36 in June. I never wanted my kids close in age and my 2 year old has been a handful. Most of my friends didn't start getting married or having kids until their mid-30s.

Age cutoff for having a baby?
I'm expecting my first in March and will be 28 this year. I'm not sure if I want more than one yet. If so, I think I'd like to be done by 32-33. Figure that way the kiddies are off to college by the time I'm 50. But I'm OK with whatever life brings.

Re: Age cutoff for having a baby?
I don't have a real cutoff, but I imagine I will have all our kids, however many that will be, in my thirties, probably by 37 or 38. But I don't know what the future holds so it's possible it could be earlier or later than that. I had baby#1 at 30 and will have baby#2 at 32.

Re: Age cutoff for having a baby?
i will be 34 next month and just had our 3rd 4 months ago.
I don't really have a cutoff. Probably 40. My husband says we are done (which we agreed to) but i still want 1 more. If he said in a few years that we could, i'd totally do it.

Re: Age cutoff for having a baby?
I had DD1 just before 30, DD2 just before 33, and we are going to try for one more. I always thought I would be done by 35 but now that I am 34 I am not sure that is the case.

Re: Age cutoff for having a baby?
I had DD two weeks after I turned 36. We are trying for another so I'm probably looking at 38. I always wanted a third but I really just don't know. I'm exhausted all.the.time. I will most likely be 40 if we try for a third and right now, that seems daunting. We'll see how #2 goes. DD is a complete handful and I don't know if I can handle three of her. 
If I knew then what I know now, I would've gotten married and had kids younger.

Re: Age cutoff for having a baby?
I had my third and last at 37. All things being equal, health-wise, I guess 44 would be the absolute latest. Sanity-wise, idk, 40?

I don't have a cut-off. It is impossible to predict the future.

Re: Age cutoff for having a baby?
I had my first at 25, second at 26, and third at 31...I would like to be done by the time I am 37...I honestly can't see myself having more than 1 more so if I do, it will be in the next few years. I developed high blood pressure after #2 and gestational diabetes with #3 (which my doctor says was because I was getting older!) so I don't really want to push my luck since I already have those pre-existing conditions.

Re: Age cutoff for having a baby?
I always thought 35. I will be having my 2nd child at 33. If we go for a 3rd I'll be probably be older than 35 but who knows if we will even have a 3rd...
