In my late 30's, with the only indication that we were fertile at all having been an ectopic pregnancy many years before, we gave up. We had wanted kids, but our lives were good, with nieces and nephews we love.

A few months before my 40th birthday - and the pandemic - SURPRISE!

We are currently the proud but exhausted old parents of an increasingly rambunctious toddler.



That is quite a nice surprise! I hope your child has a joyful life.


You aren't that old. I know someone who had twins in his mid 40s. My cousin also had multiple pregnancies in her 40s.

I also had my last a few months before my 40th birthday.

BTW: "Oopsies" are common. If you're 100% done, consider surgical birth control.

Yes. Not a doctor, but according to my wife, if you previously had difficulties getting pregnant, it may be easier to get pregnant again after the first birth.
