I have a 2 friends and a cousin (plus myself) who had children past 40, and had no problems and no birth defects. The pregnancies were not medically aided in any way (no fertility treatments or drugs).
Interestingly enough, all husbands were younger than their wives so maybe this had something to do with it (studies have shown that the father's age matters as much as the mother's).

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
