My Mother was 45 when I was born, and I turned out...
Okay bad example.
couldnt agree more
My sister was born when my mom was 45 :)
My mom was 44when I was born
r/suicidebywords
My mother was 47
I couldn’t get pregnant at 28 even with fertility treatments.
I’m now 38 and 18 weeks pregnant, a complete surprise. Baby is completely healthy too. 🤷♀️
**Update**
My son is now two months old and totally happy and healthy!
Life truly works in mysterious ways
Congratulations! Hope everything goes smoothly
Congratulations!

Hope it goes well!
Once I asked a classmate why he was in the same class as his niece. His answer:” my parents thought that at 49 they didn’t need protection anymore.”
I know so many stories like this it's funny. There are a lot of older women having unprotected sex (that haven't started menopause yet) that think they just can't get pregnant. It's wild
Both of my great grandparents from my mom side had kids even when they were past 40, my grandfather's youngest and oldest brother were over 20 years difference same for my grandmother her youngest brother and her niece (from her oldest sister) grew up together.
Darwin is rolling in his grave after seeing this comment 😆
My aunt and uncle had a son about two years older than their first grandchild.
While not that close in age, my grandparents also stopped using protection and as a result the ended up with twins who are nearly 13 years younger than my mom who is the oldest, I even attended my aunts high school graduation and was old enough that I still remember it nearly 20 years later.

Haha
LoL
@@Zachery_
Well looking at mans biological build up a man can vertilize a female untill the day he dies althoug the qualety of the sperm drops and reduces the chance

Back in those days, a woman was "Old" at 35. :/
Uh no. The mortality rate was brought down by all the babies dying, but if you survived when you were a kid you would probably live past 35, barring any fatal injury or disease
Keenan Horrigan
Lol you should have started with "Um, actually,"
Keenan Horrigan
but you probably will end up with post-pox scars allover your body, hronic diseases or disabled. And then they maybe burn you in the middle of the town, because, dunno, your hair is red, so you're a witch, or something.
ah, fun times.
In the 1700s,very few people lived past 40. Most people did die in their 30s due to bad hygiene. In the 1600s the plague and other diseases killed them off. Not that babies actually died during the 1600s in comparison to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Babies were more likely to survive then.
Considering how easily women would die from childbirth in those days coupled with how many times the average woman gave birth, living to 35 would still be considered an accomplishment.
Love how Adam says we're going to be parents like if it's a threeway relationship
Unless Adam has been doing some shenanigans
That's a plot twist
“Blank” “what?”
Is it not
Adam + them in a three-way relationship? Looks like someone has been reading my Adam Ruins Everything fan fiction
If you lost fertility at 35, then why would your body wait an extra 15 years to go through menopause?
You are smart
My friend her mother had early menopause, at 30 or so. So she is willing to try for a kid at 28, but otherwise she would have waited. Averages are just averages. Some girls have their first period at 8, others at 15, almost 16. Family history might be a better indicator than the averages. Some women are over 50 when menopause starts and can get pregnant of healthy babies in their late 40's. And you can screen nowadays if that happens, to make sure the baby is healthy.
@@MissMoontree I’m 27 going on 28, and I’m still trying to build and maintain a long-term healthy relationship with a guy right now, so eventually I can settle down and have kids of my own within the next few years.
My mom had me at 31, my middle brother at 33, and my youngest brother at 38 going on 39. We all turned out fine, though I was born with mild right sided hemi CP, due to a prenatal stroke. That wasn’t due to my mom being “close to advanced maternal age,” or being unhealthy during her pregnancy, though. That was just something that happened randomly by fate. My youngest brother was born two months early via c-section at 2lbs and 2oz, but both he and my mother survived the experience and turned out okay in the end. My maternal aunt had her first and oldest son at 39 going on 40. I remember she had somewhat elevated blood pressure, but both she and her son turned out completely fine. She had her daughter 8 years ago at 43, and they both turned out fine.
Based on the success rate of other women on my mother’s side of the family getting pregnant and conceiving over 35, I think my chances will be pretty good until at least my early-mid 40s. I still did just get an AMH test, just to check my egg capacity. I know quality is what matters, not capacity, but the more eggs you have, the greater chance at having viable ones for fertility. The less opportunity of finding viable ones for fertility.
In truth, for the average modern woman, most of us can have a successful pregnancy up to about 45 years of age. I also don’t think advanced maternal age should be a term that gets broadly applied to expecting mothers under 40 because, while not impossible, serious complications and fertility issues under that age for most of us are still pretty rare until the early forties. If there are significant fertility issues before the forties, it usually is due to something other than age. Yeah, there is a slight increase in risks associated with pregnancy over 35, but if you’re noticing serious complications in fertility before your mid-late 40s (under 45), it’s usually due to other underlying issues of autoimmune disorders, inherited premature or early menopause, personal health, and/or poor personal lifestyle choices. It usually has little to nothing to do with the maternal age range of 35/36-45 in and of itself. There’s not always a preventable cause for early natural infertility in and of itself, but age in and of itself is generally not the main factor of fertility issues.
Our bodies are imperfect. No one designed them, so all kinds of bits and bobs are incongruous or vestigial or whatever.
Another thing he doesn't really touch on is that having kids later in life also might prevent you from having them with the wrong person. My parents had me at an older age and I honestly prefer it that way. They told me about the people they almost had kids with when they were at the "right" age and they were... not great. It took them awhile to find each other, but it was worth it because they love each other so much. Even today, I truly believe they're soulmates. When I was a kid, a "friend" made fun of my dad for being older, but that same kid came from a broken home with divorced parents. I was lucky to grow up in a loving home with parents who gave me a great childhood, all because they had me and my sibling later in life.
Adam isnt a bad Dude but he messes-up his Research All the time. Maybe its time to replace him with
Some-More-News and/or Second-Thought?
I always worry that the women who have children later in life are most likely to have kids with special needs.
“If you’re not ready for a baby yet...” DON’T HAVE ONE. One of the worst things you can do for yourself - not to mention your partner and the potential kid(s) - is having a baby before you’re ready. I have heard too many stories of people rushing into child rearing because “the clock is ticking!” and “it’s now or never!” If you’re not ready, please PLEASE don’t do it.
Effeffia Gonalick you’re never truly ready, you don’t know what it’s like to have a kid until you have one, if you want a kid and you’re over the legal age of consent then go for it, if you’re already pregnant, keep it.
You're never ready
Go have a kid at 45 and let me know how you like it
@@Zachery_ Nope nope nope. You are very wrong. If you know in your heart of hearts that you're not ready to have a child then DO NOT HAVE A KID! Even if you're in the early stages of pregnancy and you feel like the kid is a mistake, you have every right to abort the kid before yours & that childs life is ruined. There are so many stories of kids being abused by thier own families cause of the parents weren't actual fit parents to begin with and even then you don't have a right telling people to have children.
Or even worse.
Having a baby to save your marriage.
Of all the selfish reasons to place such a responsibility on a child....this is the worst.
Know why Mormon women stop having kids at 35?
Because 36 is way too many!
I'm done 😂
Magicaleb I fail to understans this joke, explain.
The question is worded to sound like it is about age, but the answer is worded to sound like it is talking about number of children.
Know why Mormon women stop having kids at 35 (years old)?
Because 36 (kids) is way too many (but 35 kids is not too many to them)!
What about the Mormon part?
thegreen mormons are known for having large numbers of children (they lead the nation both in numbers and in when they start).

Actually babies dont love you and just pretend to love you to mooch off of you
@@stephaniesnedden4849 no a dog is more likely to do that your baby does love you if that was untrue babies wouldn’t be so clingy to there parents and that would also mean toddlers children teenagers and adults don’t love there parents but unless your a abusive parent your child most likely loves you; dogs are more likely to mooch off of you for food and shelter your human baby does not. Do you not realize there’s a difference from depending on someone and using someone but I doubt you do since your parents never showed you love and you now have a resentment for them and you try to tell yourself everyone has the same feelings as you so you won’t feel so alone anymore or your just stupid

I needed to hear this. I'm 26 and I felt like it meant I had at most nine years to cram all the kids I want. Still want them young but it's hard getting financially stable in these times!
How many kids do you really want that need to be "fit" in 9 years?!
@@somethingsomethingsomethingg that's her business lol
This is a myth created by society so that there are more people to work for aholes that govern countries.

Find your stability first
My mom gave birth to me at 40. Fertility isn't a problem. HOWEVER today she's almost 60 and wants to be a grandmother, and I'm still 18, don't see babies soon, so 35 is a good EMOTIONAL deadline.
What’s weird about this comment is that on some level it argues that your own mom shouldn’t have had you due to her age. That’s a strange undertone.
This also assumes though that your children will actually want kids at all. I find people planning to be a grandparent quite a weird thing to do, because its not really something I have any control over. I could have three kids by 30 but none of them have kids of their own. Or I could have three kids by 40 and then have lots of grandchildren. Its not a decision that is up to me, so I feel like giving myself an emotional deadline for grandchildren is not practical. I cant control that. Better to have children when I am ready, and to focus on that.
Don't reproduce just to appease your boomer mom.
@@hl6994 is there anything stopping old couples to adopt? if they REALLY want so badly the feeling of being grandparents, they can adopt young children, give them a loving home, and have that, it is a bit untradicional, but hey, they do they, and i'll be happy for them, but i also don't see myself having kids
@@San-lh8us I think it depends on your country. Being too old can disqualify you from adoption in some places. And also adopting a child to be your grandchild is a very different experience from your child having a grandchild. Adopting a grandchild means 24 hour care and love and support. I think most people who want to be grandparents want the fun of spoiling and playing with the child, and having the relief of giving them back to a parent. So adoption might not work
My mother, who has had fertility problems her entire life, had me when she was 37 and then had my brother when she was 41. It took her several months to become pregnant and my brother only had a small breathing problem when he was born. She's 49 now and her doctor said she could probably still have kids if she wanted to
So you are 12 cool
for a scientifically better example due to a longer observation period; my mom had me when she was 39 and i'm 25 now. i've never had any health problems that could be tied to genetics or birth defects.
Ashton Smith For someone who's only 12, your grammar, syntax and spelling are excellent. Please don't allow them to turn you into another drone and congratulations to your parents.
Us and our mums are the same age, high five and tell ur mum that they’re cool
Also your better at writing than most kids in my school. Hope u enjoy stuff
"Just a small breathing problem"....
My mom had me at a perfect age (24yo). And she's been a crappy mother who forced me into the role of parenting her (that's called parentification).
Please wait until you're emotionally mature enough to take care of a person. And preferably have a stable job and relationship.
And whatever you do, never tell yourself that it will all work out because you 'love your baby sooooo much': claiming a feeling is pretty easy, actually acting on that feeling is hard (giving your baby a warm and encouraging environment takes work)
That's exactly it. My mom always said she would have been a shitty mother in her 20s. Also shit taste in men lol. That's why she waited until 40/42 to have children and it worked out really well. Obviously she's less physically fit now than the moms of other people my age, but the stability, certainty patience and even wisdom that comes with a little more age have definitely been worth it for both of my parents.
@@baguettegott3409 I just turned 28, and I want to wait till my 30s to have kids of my own. I come from women who safely gave natural conception to healthy children between their early 30s-early 40s. Yes, every woman is going to be different in their natural fertility, but that’s not really about age in and of itself until the mid-late forties. It’s about personal diet, personal health, genetics, poorly treated autoimmune disorders, certain medications you’re taking, whether you have any medical conditions that affect natural fertility, whether you can or could treat those conditions to overcome fertility issues, and so on.
It goes to show just how ageist, greedy, misogynistic, and shallow the US corporate world still is in regards to their continued usage of these outdated statistics about the effects of aging and natural fertility in women. Even professionally licensed gynecologists still stand behind these very outdated stats to make money for fertility treatments off of many of otherwise perfectly healthy young women between their late-twenties to thirties, even though they know better or should know better by now.
My mother was around 40 when she gave birth to my little sister.
She’s also better than me in any possible way.
Your mother or your sister?

@@BasicHumanRights0 BEGONE ALABAMA!
That must be a confidence booster.
The reason I've encountered (among myself and friends) for opting to have kids before the late 30s has more to do with having the energy to do things with your kids. I personally was raised by older parents and I didn't get to do as many activities as my peers because of it. That's legit the only reason I would consider having kids at a younger age than 35.
My mum had me at 42 and i couldn't agree more, I'm now 17 and the relationship I have with my parents is just so different to all of my friends'
I hope that, even though it's different, you still find your bond with them special :)
Absolutely, I love them and I love what they taught me growing up, but as a kid it was definitely different. That's all :)
7tuesdaybabe My sister had kids at 18 and they'll probably grow up and tell you the same thing you're saying about parents not being energetic/active. My parents were 24 and 28 and I don't remember doing anything active with them. It has more to do with how you're raised than it does by what age your parents raise you. My youngest sister was born when my mom was 35 for example and I remember coming home from college and she was teaching my mom how to shuffle (that rave dance), at that point my mom was 49. I don't remember my mom ever doing anything like that with me though. The point is, if you want to be an active energetic parent you can be, regardless of age
Well I guess it just depends on the person because my mom is 52 and I am 15 and honestly she’s a bit more active than all my other friends parents she does Zumba takes me out she’s interested in the things I’m interested in
My mum had a kid when she was literally 46 and my step dad was 51 (and the kids are fine)
You ave to agree that is pushing it
wow let's risk our kids having horrible conditions for the rest of their lives
And there's nothing wrong with that and don't let anyone bully you into believing it is. All this push to get women to procreate as early as possible after the age of 18 is more about social mores and antiquated sexism that defines women by the idea that our sole purpose is to reproduce and devote our lives to child rearing. When it doesn't work, some jackass accusing you of being "amoral" and risking the health of your offspring. Because if berating, harassing and shaming doesn't work, then let's accuse you of being a horrible, amoral human being instead, because ... science.
Candace Nicholson not really. They're finding the same is true for men. The quality of both eggs and sperm goes down with age, and it's more likely there will be more problems if either party is older when having a baby. Not to mention the logic of it. By 40 you won't be as energetic as your 20's, and having a baby is not easy. Toddlers will want to play and run and move constantly, and you'll probably get less sleep if they're a crier. That's more stress on an older body, for both men and women.
Yes, really, it is, Peter. Everything I stated was true. The pressure for women to procreate is largely based on social conditioning and antiquated sexism. Yes, human beings age. That's not news. Yes, you're not as energetic at 40 as you are at 20. But you are likely more financially stable, more patient, and more mature and experienced with life so that you make better choices for yourself and your offspring. There's much more to child rearing than your ability to handle less sleep during a toddler's growing years.
And eggs and sperm don't deteriorate significantly in quality, they deteriorate more so in *quantity*. But that message gets muddled (like the video above showcases) in a manner to scare people, primarily women, into thinking their children may be born with deformities and pressure them into having children young, when they're less likely to be able to support them financially and will be trapped in a life raising kids in an environment that may be more harmful to the child's growth and psychologically development -- two areas that are just as important as whether or not a child has a lot of energy and wants to run around and play all day.
As I said, there's nothing wrong with having a child in your 40s. The statistics change regarding certain health issues, but they're still comparatively small and remain highly unlikely. Which is no more detrimental than raising a child in poverty or in an environment where the parents can't be around because they're constantly working in order to be able to afford to feed, clothe and provide care for that child.
There's nothing wrong with Erica Steven's mother having given birth at 46, and these desperate attempts to paint women as negligent, amoral or borderline criminal for doing so is all about social conditioning and sexism -- which was my point in my response to her, if you recall.
But there's one fatal flaw that makes sure if you have the willing and can have children before 35 then do it. Take me as an example, I was 17 when my parents are 65. I have to take care of them and I always feel stressful cuz they are still working incredibly hard for me and won't retiring because I can't afford everything myself. And live in London is even harder for me.
Early caregiving is something that needs to be addressed more often. I was 21 when my dad turned 65 (24 when my mom reached 65). I was 17 (3 weeks away from turning 18) when I had to start taking care of my mom. I've had to take care of her in some capacity ever since (with zero help). The caregiving duties went up 3 yrs ago and have been high ever since. I'm beyond tired of caregiving and want to move and resume (and in a way, start) my life.
Our stories are why people shouldn't have kids after turning 40.
Very true, but then this is why we should be advocating that countries have stronger social support systems, so that people don't need to worry about continuing to work into their old age. Pensions, national health insurance, superannuation and social security schemes are supposed to protect the elderly, while a well-subsidised, regulated higher education system decreases the burden on both parents and their children to pay for college. This can be achieved by higher tax rates and mandatory superannuation, distributed proportionately across all income brackets. That may draw off a higher amount of income initially, but translates to money in the bank and a better social welfare system in the future.
Unfortunately people vote precisely against the agenda that benefits them most, because they want to preserve the right to accrue as much money as they can right now. They are driven by an incredible fear that their money will be sucked up and gone by the time they retire, yet at the same time make the biggest financial decisions of their lives (buying property, having children) right there and then, thus ironically ensuring that happens. They don't realise that the whole argument is controlled by the only people rich enough to afford making millions a year (while not wanting to pay their social dues back) and industries like private insurance, who scam everyone else to keep their high profit lines, which is why people are forced to make these decisions.
That is the comment i am looking for. Take the situation from other perspective. I married when i was 23 with big love, we travelled eveywhere and enjoyed as much as we could. Our first boy entered the area when me and my wife in 27, we took good care of him. My second boy borned when we were 32 and we just cant look after him as the first one and as we wanted. We clearly decided its not about having two kids (first one is started kindergarten and he is just an easy boy) but we are just old and lacking energy compared to age of 27. Now we are full of regrets why we didnt make a baby when we first married.
If you think you are a stable and logical person, have childs like between age of 22-28.
Oh also do not wait for first child fully grown (him/her go to school) to have second. Its ridiculous, it is not like what you think, 2-3 years of period is well enough
Errr if you think people are senile at 65 you either have terrible genetic luck in your family or poor self care. Most people who have adhere to healthy diet and exercise are still going very strong at 65. On the other hand, smokers and those who are morbidly obese have a high chance of serious life altering or ending disease by 50 :/
I would know. My parents are 60 and they're doing great, and are in better shape than some of my friends whose parents are 15 years younger lol
@@finchborat that's unfortunate but not common. Most people are still highly independent, and many are still working, at 65. Becoming dependent at 65 is not standard "senility." That is illness. And while risk of cancer and early onset dementia does increase with each year age, the risks arent really exponential until 80+
Love this one. My mom was 36 when she had me and 40 when she had my younger sister, no issues getting pregnant and we're both extremely healthy people. She always says she's so glad she waited to have kids because she was a better mom due to more life experience and the stability that comes with age. And it shows since she was an amazing mom!
Sometimes waiting is both a choice and non choice. I'm 37 and haven't met someone to settle down yet. Would it have been nice to have a child earlier in life? Yes. However that wasn't in my cards. So for those who are criticizing those who have children later in life please think first. No ones time line is the same.
Most people aren't condemning couples who haven't yet had the opportunity to have children (case in point, you), it's condemning those that have the ability and a stable situation, but sit on it.
That is such a hard position to be in with all the societal pressure and expectations. I hope you find a suitable partner soon, or you can even explore other avenues (adoption, sperm donor, embryo adoption, even) if financially feasible.
agreed I am also unfortunate enough to not really have a choice. I meet so few women and even less who ever plan on having kids, I feel like I will never have a family at this rate... meanwhile dumb bimbos and assholes have oops babies all the time and then still somehow end up with a fine life. I strive for it and fall short...
I'm not trying to blame you or anything close to that, I'm just curious. Did you think you had plenty of time? Was finding Mr. Right a real priority when you were 23, 25? Did you have lengthy relationships with men you knew you'd never marry or settle down with, for whatever reason? Again, this is not at all an attempt to blame you, more just trying to understand how you got where you are. Unintentional childlessness among women your age is too often the result of this bs we've been sold that says it's OK to put it off, you have more than enough time, put yourself first, etc., and videos like this do not help. You do still have time, take care of yourself, make sure you don't have any minor issues that could be fixed now. You never know the future, I know many couples who married within weeks or a few months of meeting, and they've all been married for decades. Your life can change very quickly, but if you do want kids, do all you can now to make it easier in the future. Good luck, whatever happens.
For some reason, people really love to judge when it comes to this issue. People criticize parents who "choose the wrong partner" and end up getting divorced or raising the children as single mothers. Parents get criticized if they have the children before they are financially ready and have to turn to any type of assistance. Parents get criticized if they both work full time and put their kids in daycare from a young age. At yet, it's also wrong to wait until you are with the right person and have the resources to raise a child??? You can't win, some people will find a reason to criticize no matter what you do. Good for you for recognizing that waiting was the right thing to do in your situation. Happy families exist in all shapes, sizes and forms. Everyone needs to find what works for them.

When I was 12, I was talking to my friends and we overheard a girl say "I find it so creepy if anyone in the class has a mother over 40." My mother was 50 at the time. Before I could say anything, the teacher (we were in a sex ed lesson) told her how disrespectful she was being and how his mother was 54 when he was 12.
"You know what happens when people get scared? Corporate America swoops in to take advantage." Why is this so accurate.
Those ice effects was legit Doctor Who levels great.

some people forget that some couples prefer to settle down, buy a house, have stable jobs and all that shit before having a baby. My mom had me at 30 (first try was a miscarriage, and omg! she wasn't past 35) and she had to quit her job, then we had to move out. Third time, another miscarriage, still before 35, fourth time, my brother, we moved out again, I lost all of my friends. Now we're moving out once again. You can't really choose whether to be lucky or not. And I respect couples who prefer to settle down before making such a hard choice rather than having a baby right away and fucking up their lives.

My parents where 24 when i was Born.
As for miscarriage... lets just say i know for a fact i couldnt have been a surprise.
Rumpel Felt oy, my mum is single and had me at 25! i turned out pretty good, and she even went back to college a few years ago! stop shaming women into having babies when you want them to have them, and let them decide on their own! I love my mum, and she is easily the strongest and most hard working person I know.
of course, abortions are a blessing nowadays in terms of modern science. a lot of people think its 'immoral' or killing a 'baby' (which it isnt, people who claim this have no understanding of basic biology or what a fetus actually is), but its really not that different from a period. its immoral to bring life into this world that you nether will want nor can take care of, least to me. course if your opinion differs, then go by your values, but no one can deny nor make you get an abortion. if you make a mistake your life you do not have to suffer, and nether does your potential offspring. if you dont have a baby when you are not ready, you can wait until you are mentally and or financially ready to have one, and im sure that baby will do loads better than the baby you nether wanted nor could take care of.
point is, dont let anyone shame you into making a decision as important as deciding when and if to have offspring. make sure you educate yourself on your options, and make a choice regarding your situation and wants. your decision can result in a potential new being, and if you do have a child you need to make an educated choice.

It's funny to me that we don't talk more about fertility on the male side. I feel as though everyone knows about the risk of chromosomal defects from the mother's input, but most people don't talk about prospective fathers who, say, smoke cigarettes, for example, until they go to attempt to have a baby and find that his fertility has taken a hit.
My husband is 42 and I turn 30 in a couple weeks, and he has a now-13-year-old, so with those three factors there has literally never been a "good time" for us to have a baby if we decided we want one. I think we're getting to that point, though. 😬
Also I think it would be good for this myth to die in particular because young mothers' incomes often never recover after the hit of having kids - and that's an added level of stress that families really don't need.
Between the age of 25-40, my grandma had 12 kids and each and every one of them came out fine.
Her housing situation was a different story.

😂
I was aware about fertility not decreasing as much after the 30's, but they got me on the birth defects thing. damn, publicity is scary.
Víctor Barraza oh please!!! Birth defects happens at lot when the women are in their early 20s
Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
It is technicaly not a lie, 2x 0,5% is 1% and thats what scared me the most
hummingbirdgirl07 Yeah because there's way more women that have babies in their twenties.
If you're force to choose a drink from a table that has 1 cup of 50 being poison vs the table with 100 cups where 1 is poison, that 100 cup table might be much more comforting.
what is that high tech pregnancy test that literally just says *"pregnant"*

The kind that's convenient for television programs
squid's buns Actually I believe Clear Blue digital is one that reads "Pregnant" or "not pregnant" so we are in the future 😂
They actually do have those they are just more expensive and why spend the extra money for the display.
Howard Ackerman In personal experience, trying to decide if that second line was there or not was difficult! So I opted for clearblue rather than the original method. The instructions on the original said that any second line (no matter how faint) meant pregnant. However, all of the clearblue ones said not pregnant. So overall, it stopped a lot of confusion.
I've actually had multiple friends have trouble getting pregnant in their "prime" and then had no trouble mid 30's.
I'm watching this a bit too late. I was exactly in this panicky mode as I turned 32 this year. I thought it was already too late but immediately after my husband and I started trying for a baby, I got pregnant. All the doctors were scaring me about infertility since I was 24. I was told I had PCOS and hypothyroidism. Even when 31 and having regular periods, I was told that I'm bleeding every month without any eggs being released and was asked to take so many medicines. But I had unprotected sex just once and immediately got pregnant.
Congratulations on getting pregnant! Hope you and your baby are doing well ❤
Doctors are only taught what Big Pharma/corporations want them to know…err, “Know”
I hope you actually wanted to try for a baby and weren't JUST doing it because "oh no, the wall!"
Can you still have babies after 35? Of course, everything mentioned in this video is correct! Although, what was not mentioned are the fatal risks associated with pregnancy after 35. The ideal age to have children is anywhere between the age of 20 & 35, reasons being their are less complications that happen during intrapartum (during birth). For instance, an abruption of the placenta is very common in women below the age of 20 and above the age of 35, the unlucky women who face this condition can have signs and symptoms such as a rigid abdomen and painful vaginal bleeding or no symptoms at all! Basically the placenta abrupts and the mother can loose up to 2 Liters of her own blood! This in return decreases blood pressure & increases heart rate to compensate for the loss of blood; causing death.
Reference: I'm a registered nurse
I am a nurse as well and this video made me cringe.Thank you for your comment I hope more people understand it's not just a matter of getting pregnant it's about staying pregnant , having a healthy baby , mother and delivery
Completely agree with you! And thank you, for your'e lovely input :)
Well thank you sir! I hope people due their research before making decisions such as this one.
Andry Hernandez exactly, but that wasn't going to improve the video, so I guess they said to themselves "let's keep that out", the serious issue is not about getting pregnant after 35, is about the complications that might lead to death in the worst case (baby, mom, or both) or more expensive pregnancies at least. That's why advice from a humor video about serious stuff is not usually recommended without further serious research.
and what is the extra percentage of fatality risks between 35 and 40 years old exactly?

Yeah, the misspelling was hilarious. I blame public schools.

Toast I love u for that that is the best thing I herd all year
TheRogueToast funniest comment I’ve read on here
I used to think my mom was old for having me at 28... I’m now 26 and can’t imagine how scary that was for her because i now realize how young that is and 28 doesn’t seem like a big number
I wish this was more widely known. At 39 I took out my IUD, had 1 period and got pregnant! I remember my doctor telling me "don't be surprised if it takes awhile to get pregnant, that can happen when you are older." Well wow, she was wrong! Getting pregnant that fast sent me into a tail spin, questioned my belief in statistics and medicine. I went down a rabbit hole and discovered that age is less of a factor in getting pregnant then most people think. Yet the medical field still pushes this BS. It made me really mad and made me question any statistics and studies. Turns out, if you have a problem getting pregnant at 38, you might have had a problem at 28 too. You just weren't trying at 28 so you wouldn't know that. Also, the man plays a huge role in this whole process too, which is rarely mentioned. When a man is older a woman is more likely to miscarry, but this isn't talked about like the false narrative pushed that women have difficulty getting pregnant after 35.
I just turned 28, and I want to wait till my 30s to have kids of my own. I come from women who safely gave natural conception to healthy children between their early 30s-early 40s. Yes, every woman is going to be different in their natural fertility, but that’s not really about age in and of itself until the mid-late forties. It’s about personal diet, personal health, genetics, poorly treated autoimmune disorders, certain medications you’re taking, whether you have any medical conditions that affect natural fertility, whether you can or could treat those conditions to overcome fertility issues, and so on.
It goes to show just how ageist, greedy, misogynistic, and shallow so much of the US corporate and professions world still is in regards to their continued usage of these outdated statistics about the effects of aging and natural fertility in women. They rarely talk about the fact that men have a biological clock on their fertility too. Even certain professionally licensed gynecologists still stand behind these very outdated and misogynistic statistics in regards to the decline of natural female fertility and age to make money for fertility treatments off of many perfectly healthy young women between their late-twenties to thirties. It’s just really sad because many these people are professionally licensed medical doctors. I get wanting to be compensated for any career or job, including in the medical field, but it’s really tragic how so many professionals in our country have become so motivated by a desire for fame and money to the point that they’re willing to deliberately belittle, deceive, and manipulate customers, clients, and patients to do so.

Not to mention the frozen eggs only have a limited shelf life. Even doctors that come on talk shows make it seem like you could freeze eggs at 18 & use them at 32 “when you’re stable & life is perfect”
What is the shelf life? Just curious.
@@harringt100 10 years, if I remember the response of an OBGYN to this video correctly (spoiler: She wasn't happy with the way Adam presented this topic.)
Also, one of the reasons why so many women hadn't used their frozen eggs as of the making of this video was that the technology is still pretty young and many women had only frozen their eggs for a couple of years yet and weren't ready for children yet.
My mother had my brother at 42 and me at 46 with absolutely no complications. He’s a lawyer and I’m in grad school. Don’t let age scare you.
Exactly! It's also important to check within your own family. My paternal aunts told me that apparently women on that side of the family can have babies up to 50!
WhaAAAT? I thought everyone died after 35.
That would explain why you wouldn't be able to have babies.
+Wolfsplash McWarriorsTrash
You're thinking of Logan's Run.
Not quite
In the 1600's, the life expectancy was about 35 years old, this means that half of all people died before reaching the age of 35
Keep in mind that this was the life expectancy at birth, most of those deaths were within the first few years of life, and once someone hit the age of 10, their odds of living past 35 increased to near certainty
Just sort of skimmed over the miscarriage becoming more common part, lol.
Again, it's not age dependent. It's a lot related to genetics.
Not just miscarriage
Risk of 21 trisomy(Down syndrome) is also higher in babies born to older women
@@priya30081 yes, and older eggs have a a higher chance to present genetic anomalies. Unfortunately, that's why chromosomal issues are more common in babies born to women over 35.
@@abizitgill4310 Not by as much as people think, the increase is actually rather small.
@@livkellermann4895 Not by as much as people think though.
This is a *very* important episode. Planning is one of the most important parts of parenthood, and being unprepared leads to bad parenting skills and commitments you weren't ready to make being made, all because you were scared that you didn't have time. Knowing that you have time helps women be ready to take on the responsibilities of having a child, be certain they want one, and keeps them from being stressed that they can't change their mind later so they have to do it soon. I don't want kids, but my sister does, and I want her to know that she has a lot of time to be financially, mentally, and physically ready to have a baby. She doesn't have to rush it.
Not like I have examples.
My parents haven't even finished high school when I was born.
Mostly because I was stupid at the time, and came out undeveloped, and two months early.
exactly.....and no one even pays attention to your comment....lol

So. I’m 38, and I’m going to be a first time Mom anytime now. I did not use fertility to get there, although I did get checked out by a doctor and everything was working great. Most of the time infertility happens for unknown reasons. And well, I became pregnant when we stopped trying. I think a lot of it was stress but what do I know?!
I’ve had a very healthy, non problematic pregnancy. The best advice I have is find a OB GYN practice that’s non alarmist until they have to be. Make sure they are science based too.
I just turned 28, and I want to wait till my 30s to have kids of my own. I come from women who safely gave natural conception to healthy children between their early 30s-early 40s.

wait until 50 with pregnancy, you will still like 30 to 40 years of life plus with all medicine advancements you body would be as healthy as 20 years old😂😂😂😂😂@@Schoolgirl325
My mom had me at 33 and my brother at 38, and we are both perfectly fine. The second pregnancy and birth was harder because of age, but no medical issues were contracted from it

Technically they do, but Adam took them across an alternative timeline, in where Emily does get pregnant. In reality, Emily was not pregnant.

You're lucky, most people born at that age either get DS (Dosn Syndrome) or some other Gene Deformities.
AnonymousStranger YouDon'tKnowMe Did you watch the video? Adam just explained that the age of your mother when you were born has very little effect on your chances to get a birth defect. Or are those issues you mentioned something not classified as a birth defect?
Jean Twenge was my psychology of personality professor last semester. She was a great teacher :)
My mom had me at 38 and I was completely fine. My mother had her first child when she was 25 and that child came out with deformities and only lived for 6 hours. I'm not saying this is the rule but 35 just seems like such a random number and you could definitely have children be on that
My mom had me at 43 and didn’t go infertile until 57, just goes to show that your age is becoming less and less of a worry when medicine and living conditions improve as much as they are now

Over 35 is considered a high risk pregnancy by the Mayo clinic, which they sourced. Adam and College humor don't bring up increased chance for hypertension and diabetes in pregnancy with advanced maternal age. Paternal age over 40 is also associated with increased problems. It may not happen to you, but weigh your decision with an expert who cares.
SusanRN92 paternal age has a direct linear relationship with down syndrome
And, if it matters to you, the chance of the baby not having grandparents increases.
SusanRN92 this video is weird it almost seems like Adam/research team didn't bother to ask doctors about the issue but consulted and viewed trash mags. I mean yes the risk of becoming infertile is fairly low but every doctor I've met say avoid having kids after 40. It's not that it's impossible just problems and side effects and complications become worse and harder to manage.
Nah.....my doctor advised me not to get my tubes tied because women can have babies well into their early 40s.
I was 38 when I had my last and 34 when I had my first and in 2017 most good OBGYNs don't freak out at 40 year olds having babies.
I don't say everyone over 35 will have difficulties with pregnancy, childbirth, and genetic defects. But the risks certainly increase, and this video is disappointing as it decides for viewers about risk. Every doctor should know not to make that decision for you, only you can decide if the risk is tolerable. I am saying, get informed from a professional, think about your circumstances, and consider the possible consequences. Maybe you are okay with the increased chance of preeclampsia, diabetes, c-section, down syndrome. If you are fortunate to pull through, remember, you will have a teenager when you are in your mid fifties, and may be supporting a 20 something going to college when you are retiring. They may then have to change their life plans then to care for you. Good luck to the families who have their first over 35.
My mum had me when she was 45. I'm glad of this because it means she has a good job and more money to raise me. But now I'm fifteen and she's sixty. I just hope she has a good long life.

My dad was born when my granny was 45. And this was in rural New Zealand before a ton of the medicine we take for granted.
I struggled with infertilty despite having a period, but at the end of the day it gave my family time to realise that pregnancy wasn't a good idea for me.
Yeah damn right! Ruin that shit Adam!
I love it when people ruin babies
My mother gave birth to my brother and me at age 40 and 42. We are both extremely healthy.
you just cant handle the truth.
No one, including the people on the show, are saying you *have* to have a baby when you're in your thirties just because. They're saying scare tactics and society telling other people when to have kids needs to stop.
Cuz personal stories equate to statistics 7_7

I just don't want to die when my kid is in college
Zedward you won't. you'll be 60ish.
Zedward then look after yourself, unless you have them at about 60 then there wont be a problem as the average death rate is much higher these days, for example my grandma is 83 and active. So unless someone had a baby at 60 there really isnt a problem
Zedward October 12th, 2024, sorry. Not even the Doctor can save you. Fixed point in time.
Sounds like a blessing to me. "Hey Dad! I'm gonna take a year off from school to find myself. Also, I'm doing porn."
Zedward my mum was in her 40s when she had both me and my sibling (and FWIW we were both natural births with no complications and have no health or psychological issues). I am not in my mid-20s, my sibling is early 20s and a student, our mum is in her mid-60s and still all-go all the time. I am confident that even if I have kids at a similar age as her they will have a grandma for their childhoods at least (my maternal grandparents are both still alive and living independently also!) I'm not sure you realise how old is old.
yeah, you can have a baby at a later age, but its a lot harder on a woman's body to be pregnant at 45 than at 25
That's true, but it's not impossible, it's really a personal choice on the woman (my mom had me at 44 and she's doing pretty well)
Sarah Miko it's definitely a woman's choice and I'm not saying you can't have babies in your 40s or 50s. I'm just saying that any time i hear a woman talking about pregnancy at these ages, they say it is more exhausting on their bodies than probably if they did it when they were in their 20s or 30s
Carter Sheehan uuh
it's also more likely for something to be wrong with the baby.
I don't remember the exact ages, but healthiest age for both the baby and the mother is about 17-23 years old.
Carter Sheehan my like was 69th lol
This is very true - my mom had me at age 42! However, I also have to give a cautionary tale of her - a baby at 42 is a lot for your body to handle, and because she had me so late, her body suffered for it. She's now in a nursing home at age 61. I'm not trying to say whether you should a baby or notbat that age - it's ultimately your choice, but make sure your body can handle it.
First - I'm sorry your Mom and family are dealing with an early complication that required such drastic care. It can't be easy. I am a little confused, though - I had my first child at 40 (almost 41) and my body seems back to normal within 6 months. Recovery took a bit longer than younger moms, but was fine and don't feel different after everything healed up. Was there some kind of underlying issue? I'm back to my active self without pain and trying for another at 41. Fitness was a very important part of preparing for conceiving and during pregnancy so maybe that's a factor?
@@JustQuixa Well, yes, actually. I didn't know it at the time of writing this comment, but before she had me, she had low estrogen levels and was on her way to early menopause. Frankly, I just have to keep thinking about 1: how much effort she but in to have me (not only did she have to deal with low estrogen, which meant very frequent doctor visits, but she was also completely single; she tried to find someone to have a child with, but couldn't so she decided to do it herself and go through the process of in-vitro) and 2: how much if a miracle it is that I'm even alive. I'll also give an update of her while I'm at it, she did sadly pass away about a month ago from a complication of her multiple sclerosis and what I'm guessing is pneumonia. She was the sweetest soul, I tell you.
Seems like your mom had health issues, and did not die because of you. She would have fallen down the same route whether or not she had you at 42.
@Leavana I'm sorry for your loss 😢 I hope life treats you well and you were definitely a miracle baby.
This is comforting.. thank you :")
my science teacher who i love (because he’s a great teacher and an overall smart guys, not because i’m weird like that) was talking about genetics and somehow the good old 35 myth came up... he starts talking about how his wife had to get tested by a geneticist because she was pregnant at 35, he even went as far as to say that your fertility rate slowly declines up until 35 when it skyrockets.
i was honestly sad, at this point, this should be a commonly know thing. he’s always pushing us to use valid sources and check our facts yet he just went off of a french census from the 1700s.
just thought i would share. it made me sad.
Wait, he said it declines until it "skyrockets" at 35?

@@CheeseBae facts
Personally, there was a BIG difference between being pregnant at 23 and again at 33. At 33, my pregnancy was rough. I felt sick all the way through and very fatigued
Second pregnancies are often rougher. Also, I know people who had incredibly rough pregnancies in their early 20s.

I heard somewhere that the chances of having twins are higher when the woman is either pretty young or pretty old when having children. Might have something to do with it.

Ya know... adoption is a thing
You can skip the morning sickness too.
Plus it shouldn't be a last resort- they need homes/parents.
While I am rather taken aback by your profile picture you make a fair point nonetheless..
My mom's friend loves us kids coming over to their house coz she has no children. She doesn't want to bear a child though, she just wants to take care of other children and adopt coz she had this memory when she was young. The forest where she used to play was destroyed and turned into a subdivision. She always says that there are too many people in Earth and making even just another one wouldn't be helpful.
If want a baby though, it can cost $15,000 to $30,000.
In Ireland you have to be under 40 to adopt. I think if you adopt from another country that rule doesn't apply
Next: Adam Ruins Adoption lol

Adoption is an option!!!!
leah rose it took my parents a year to officially adopt me my siblings didn't take long either. Yeah, it was expensive but my siblings and I got a better chance at life as well as my parents got the chance to have a family. I think people who really want a family won't mind the price, mine didn't, nether did my cousin's parents, also when you give birth it's still expensive due to hospital bills and past appointments, and prenatal care..It depends on the situation. Not every adoption takes forever
leah rose in a lot of countries adoption is nearly free sometimes it even pays!

My mom had me at 47.
Bri Swifty cool
that just gave me a glimmer of hope....thanks
Oh snow!
When u r 25 she is 72? Nice.
GoldenGamer wtf lol
My mom gave birth to me at 37 and she always told me how much she hated that her pregnancy was referred to as "geriatric" and always asked doctors to not use the term
Actually so educational and funny! Thanks for citing resources
I love how he acted like miscarriages were no big deal because the question was about birth defects, I know a couple women who are still pretty messed up from their miscarriages, it is a very traumatizing experience.
Because truthfully miscarriages aren't a big deal it's body's way of getting rid of a bad egg and it's natural,we make the mistake getting too attached too early
Yea getting attached to something that's been growing inside you for 9 months is stupid.
do you also get attached to the parasite that you had for 9 month and shit it out?
Brilliant comparison. I've never had a parasite in my gut for 9 months, but I feel like If I knew If I carried it for 9 months, shit it out, and I could teach it how to crawl, walk, speak, share all my interests with it, and had a life span of 60-80 years and kinda looked like me, I would be very attached to it.
But hey, that's just me.
Carrying something for a full nine months is different then say the first two trimesters in which miscarriages are incredibly common to happen ..it's being realistic yes it's sad and bad but it's not traumatic like 911 something to scar you for the rest of your life.. miscarriages are to be expected... getting all emotionally tore up after every miscarriage means you need to work on yourself
"Were gonna be parents" -Adam
Imagine how awkward it was
They "were"? What happened? Miscarriage? :(
we're*
Oh god no loss.jpg pls
threesome?
2:19 "Yeah, au revoir everyone. Au revoir."
I love that part.
Thank you for this video :)
I still wanna meet my grandkids and see them grow up so I'd rather not wait that long
Because having to take care of children is not annoying whatsoever. I have a cousin and when she was a baby... holy shit, words can not describe how much I wanted to kill myself. Crying, shitting, pissing, crying again.
Each to their own, I suppose.
Eternal Fire I mean I'll be real with you I'm not excited about those parts
My parents had me when mom was 32 and dad was 40. This left me feeling like I was running a clock of "if I want my kids to meet and know my parents, I need to hurry up." I'm 28 with a 3 month old, but it was a genuine concern of mine as my dad is 68 and mom turns 60 this year.
Adam didn't really ruin anything here...
he ruined freezing eggs companies
He ruined freezing your eggs compaines
It's called that because he ruins misconceptions (or that's what I think).
He ruined everybody's lives by explaining how to get even MORE little monsters into this world
MLGesus Christ 😂😂😂
All I can say is...Thanks Adam! From the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for giving me hope.
