I'm 19 years old and I definitely want to have a child in my 35s. I'll bring them an enjoyable and better life more than my parents have done for me

[@dulceoliveira9901]

We don't know about the future, my sister only wanted to have children at 30, at 25 she had an illness and had her uterus removed...

[@FizikaOlimpiada]

it`s a bit diffucult because in my own opinion now people's organism in a so different levels with a indian or with woman who lives in a countryside

[@FizikaOlimpiada]

but i don`t know where you live, good luck

[@dulceamore7257]

that's okay! My aunt started to have babies in her 40's, they all are very healthy, now she is 70, and still she is a healthy strong woman, just take care of yourself... try to have good habits.

[@hyeinjeon1487]

35 will be the average age in the future

[@mariadolorespaula]

Hello, BBC community! I'm 67 and having become a mother in my late twenties I think it takes a great amount of energy to take care of a child and later on to understand the new generation as they grow. The younger you are the easier it is. Children need patience and energy more than money. A parent should be companionable. Furthermore, labor is a big strain on the woman's body. There is more risk of malformation as women get older. Maybe in the future it will all be a laboratory procedure, so half as problematic... That's why it is easier for a man, as long as he doesn't get grumpy with old age.

I think it's so difficult to have a baby in this era, not least old people. However, in Vietnam(my country) , there is a woman who gave birth her child successfully when she was 46 years old and that was incredible.

My mom had my sister when she was 40

I am 41 years old and I do not choose be mother at 40 years. I would prefered be mother in my 30 years old but physical ill and temporal medication, no being mutual love with my possible choices and bad economy were important factors to no be biologic mother. I always be a mother of my cat and some people, but this age is not the ideal to be mother.

[@manohar_kushwaha058]

Some old ladies love to have baby at too old and they conceive at the last option of their last stage of age.

[@antoniajuanicomulet8369]

​@@manohar_kushwaha058 maybe the men are the problem, old semen and less values, too drinking and too fat..in my case, I feel younger than my 20 and with more Interesting men than that years, but they found other Girls and they are daddy in 2 ways

What an interesting topic! Actually, one of the reasons for having a baby at an older age is that it is more difficult to have a baby now :(

Greg fathered his child in his thirties, which is quite normal, but his wife, Grace, was, God forbid, 100! Someone really should pat Grace on the back. She is a phenomenon. A thousand years later, the story of Grace and Greg still lingers.

[@Katarina-z5g]

Hello BBC again, and I appreciate it, and now this is topic about age some children and so on. That’s wonderful. I can say the topic more useful than I heard ever.

[@fossaflute]

I would like to support my children during their young age. We are immigrants and my children definitely will be needed some support. When my husband was born his parents were 40 yo. When he was 20 yo his mum became a disabled person and retired, and his dad died of an illness. My husband still was a student in those days. But you can survive in your home country, however, it's harder if you are an immigrant. So, I think it's better to give birth a little bit earlier...

[@lilianatria2877]

I'm 43 years old and, although I don't belong to the new generation of girls, I have never wanted to become a mother. Just I have never felt ready and comfortable with the idea. To be honest, I hope that young women don't follow in my footsteps because, especially in Italy, we are moving in a dangerous direction, and only a few women decide to give birth nowadays. I'm afraid Italian people are meant to disappear.

[@afsanamastiyeva8133]

I think that give a birth to a child depends on life conditions of parents .For example , if you hardly take care of yourself with money it is unfit give a birth to a child. Because compare to previous time looking and taking care of baby is not easy. The life conditions are improving tremendously

[@anupabasnet3363]

I think you are not old to have a baby you can adopt one when you are financially stable and give her everything you would give if you bore it from your own womb as lord Krishna was also nurtured and taken care by yashodha maa she was not his birth mother so if you are too old still there is hope adopt one and fill her and your life with happiness but for that money is needed so financial stability is a must otherwise how to educate and give her best education like you would have given your own borne child 👍😊🥰

2:30 The concept of older mothers is still quite a new phenomenon and attitudes towards them are changing. 3:02 What's the man's role in all of this? 3:20 So are older fathers, more socially acceptable than older mothers?

[@LinhNguyen-ss9vu]

With me, women should'nt give birth over forty. It takes lots of risks at babies's health(especially Down), and old parents often educate the child not well(I can see it all around me)

[@はり-p5u]

I agree with you. Rising Disorder is just a peoples ego. Child must've suffered from it and may be bullied by someone in childhood.

[@senu903]

Mothers over the age 35 and Mothers over the age of 35 what's the difference between them

Regretfully, we have to realise that gender inequality is a concept that comes from the variations in physical functioning between men and women.
