Doc please help. my friend wants to divorce how does she know if she is still able to get pregnant at 41?

My friend never wanted children until she told me she is planning to get a divorce. she is close to my age 41. how can she be sure the baby will be born healthy at her age...she is running out of time then to meet a father to concieve as well??.

Strange isn't it that she did not want a baby until she is about to plan to be single again....I think she is going through a passing phase and the desire for a baby will subside. Human nature is a trixter! this is my friend so don't judge me.

There is no certainty that anyone will have a perfectly "normal" and "healthy" child no matter the age. But there is a test that helps people to determine if a child is going to be a "healthy normal" child and its call an amniocenteses.
Also no matter the age not everyone can have children so she should see her gyno.

She doesn't have to be married to have a baby, and she can probably still have one for another 3-7 years. Ask her to get a check up and ask her doctor about any concerns.

It can still be done, but with a higher risk of complications and birth defects / downs syndrome. She needs to consult with her OB or a fertility specialist.

First, she should take a doctor appoinment & a check-up before the baby is born. If she is eating properly, not smoking, not doing too much activities with her tummy, & kepping herself clean, not stressin too much, the baby should be healthy!

too late, the chances are too high the kid will have problems.

Send her over, if she comes home pregnant, I guess she can concieve.

if she has a period every month she can still get pregnant and you never know how a baby will turn out even in your younger years its not safe at that age. I'm not a doctor
