    Likewise ... BOTH my grannies - by curious coincidence - gave birth to THEIR last (perfectly normal) children when in their mid-forties.

    Bear in mind, also ... that this was back in the early years of the 20th Century ... a time when - due, presumably, to the lack of today's contraception methods - it was far from uncommon for very many married women to have LARGE families (my paternal granny, for instance, had 11 children - all of whom survived into adulthood).

    So ... just THINK! How much safer it is nowadays - for ALL concerned - with modern family planning.

    I was born when my father was 49 and my mother was 38, I have a younger brother and sister. My younger son was born when I was 49 and my prospective stepson was born when I was 56...

    I look at it this way - a family that reproduces once every other generation is better for the planet!
