It is very risk for a man to deal with a 55 years old pregnant woman.

Depends on the woman’s general health and fitness, but after 40, you’re considered higher risk than if you’re below forty. Studies show there are greater risks of child deformities/abnormalities if the mom is older…but then again, it isn’t ALWAYS that way.

i am asking about average.....not about the exceptions........

what about the age 35 that people keep telling?? is it 40 rather than 35??

35yo
but of late there are so many exceptions to the rule that this rule might be changed. for now it is as above.

35 is fine. It may be harder if it's your first child at or after 35.

Re: Biological clock for women to have kids

it is definitely harder if it is your first child at the age of 35 or above.
and there are many more risks involved as well.......mainly to the child but also to you.

Not sure about the maximum age, but "experts" reckon that a woman's fertility peaks at the age of 24.

After 35 y old, you're considered 'advanced maternal age' and are encouraged to go through prenatal testing to detect any abnormalities. Before 35, prenantal testing is just an option for expecting parents.

Honestly, it's not even about the biological clock. Kids require SO much energy that having a kid after 40 though definitely possible is probably more strenuous because you're older and not as physically strong to endure sleepless nights and constant running around!

There's a clock for both men and women, but since women are the ones who actually carry the child and give birth, I think they feel a stronger pull to have kids.

There are always exceptions for both sexes.

Wouldn’t it be dependent on menopause?
