Researchers have determined that it is as safe to give birth after age 50 as age 40 without endangering the mother or the baby. "It turns out that 50 is the new 40 when it comes to childbirth," according to Dr. Sheiner. "There is no doubt that medical teams will need to handle increasing numbers of birth for women over age 50." The study included 242,771 deliveries at Soroka, of which 234,824 (96.7 percent) occurred in women younger than 40. The rest occurred in women from age 40 to 50 and older. It focused mainly on whether women found themselves during pregnancy and childbirth with complications such as premature births, gestational diabetes, hypertension, and cesarean sections. The study also examined if the newborn suffered from poor physical condition, mortality or distress during labor. The researchers concluded that all complications were higher among women over 40 who gave birth to children compared with those who gave birth below that age. Remarkably, there was no escalation of complications in women over the age of 50, compared with women who gave birth between the ages of 40 and 50. Dr. Sheiner still advises to treat the pregnancies of women over the age of 40 as high-risk, and even more so, the pregnancies of women over 50. Special emphasis should be placed on tracking fasting glucose and pregnant blood pressure for early detection of complications.

Huh, interesting. I'm glad that older women can still have children with minimal complications. A lot of millennial women aren't having children in their youth as of yet. I'm glad they can change their mind if they so desire in older age. Y'know in case they feel they made the wrong choice.

You can give birth any time you're fertile.

You can give birth any time you're fertile. It's risky for both mother and baby.

Some studies in organisms such as fruit flies observe that the female incorporates the genetic material of the men she slept with in her own body and as such effectively passes it on to the child. In simpler terms "your" kid contains all the DNA of the men she slept with. That is a lot of different DNA to factor in when by the time she reaches 50 she will have had more partners than when she was 30.
