Three of the mums in my mum's group were 39 or 40 when they first had bubs. The eldest had a drug free birth, one an emergency c-sec (she was fully dilated so not sure what happened) and another a c-sec (not sure reasons why for this one).
It's annoying that age can strike fear in someone. Like Kelly said, they got pregnant already! So why shouldn't their bodies follow through with a normal labour?
And with the 'muscles dont' know how to push'....are these women incontinent? Do they still enjoy sex? Have they not been told about the foetus ejection reflex? Your body knows how to move bubs down the birth canal without your muscles help if needs be!
