I guess I'm not a "mature" momma because I'm 33 but wanted to share that my mom had me at 39, my grandmother had my aunt at 37, my great-grandmother had my great-aunt and 36, and my great-great-grandmother had my great-great aunt after 35 also. 

I had my 4th boy a week before my 35th birthday, so I guess that doesn't count.... 

Shel - I bet that counts LOL!

The results from this poll puzzles me - it is showing that it is the other way around with more boys over 35!

Could it just be from the fact that more boy-mums post here in the first place, trying to concieve again?

That all of us having that high PH-environment made us have all boys and "forced" us to

continue having babies up as mature mamas and that otherwise we would have stopped?? Just a thought.

I conceived ds3 a few months after i turned 35 and dd a few month before i turned 37.

i used my last pregnancy(dd) in the poll 

I am only 31 and conceived my baby girl when I was 30. I had my boys at 26 and 28 :)

i had a boy at 36 a boy at 38 now a girl at 41

My grandmother had both of her daughters over the age of 40, which was considered quite odd sixty years ago.  She and my grandfather were travellers (gypsies) and had both served in the war and so they met later in life.

She was an amazing woman, and I have fond memories of her. (Just thought I'd add that seeing as I mentioned her!)

My Mom conceived my sister at 41, and had her at 42.

I bet it is both of those things...we are a skewed sample!  Good poll though! 

Not only did i have a girl after 35 years but 3 girls in a row with no swaying. I already had 2 boys, conceived at aged 31 and 32. It is an interesting study.

My grandmother had my mom (the only girl) in her twenties and my uncle when she was in her forties. My friend had her 2nd son when she was 40. Another friend had a boy and a girl in her early forties.

I had three children after age 35: Matthew (when I was 37), Leia (39), and Kara (41). I responded "girl" on the poll because I had more girls than boys after age 35. I used Shettles for Leia, but I didn't sway with Matthew or Kara. My husband is two years younger than me, and I would think that the age of the man would matter, too.

Roxanne- i am just amazed 9 kids that is so awesome....
