After 40, your chances of getting pregnant are between two and eight percent, and in my particular case, they were less than five percent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I got pregnant at 40 by surprise. It's funny, because when we found out we were pregnant, I said, 'Okay, let's experience that.' You just have to just go with it because it's rare.
But I never worried about having a child in my 40s, which is unusual - normally, I'm the queen of worry.
The reality is sobering: in the United States one in three girls will become pregnant before age 20, totaling more than 750,000 girls per year.
I don't think a lot of women know how much their chances of having a child diminish as they age.
I don't think I'll still be riding at 40. There are a couple of people who are still riding after having kids, like Mary King, but people say that you lose your nerve after you have kids. It's the risk.
The whole concept behind 'Forty Chances' is really a mindset: If everybody thought they had to put themselves out of business in 40 years, you had 40 chances to succeed in what your primary goals are, you would probably be more urgent and you would be forced to change quicker.
Women have to control their fertility for 30 years. Thirty years is a long time not to make mistakes.
You can't fall in love after 40; you know so much about life that you can't get fooled anymore.
For me, there's a big difference between having a baby in your 20s and having a baby in your 40s.
I don't see any reason why I couldn't have a child when I'm 40.
