Alicia Mackey Huber, who had children at 39 and 42, says pregnancy at 40 is possible but depends on both partners' health. Male fertility often declines with age, affecting sperm count and quality. She recommends health screenings, reducing toxins, and optimizing nutrition in the three months before conception.
Amanda says, I'm 40 years old. Is it a good age to have one more baby? Well, my former wife and I had one at 39, one at 42. We wrote a book called the Better Baby Book. It is possible, but it depends on your health. It depends on your partner's health, because a major cause of infertility is actually male. Sperm is way down, and it's not as healthy as it was before. So if both of you are healthy, you absolutely can do that. I'm even working on an advisory agreement with a company that's figuring out a way you'll be able to measure your fertility age, which would be really useful. But in the meantime, if you get checked out and everything's working fine, you can just be extra careful. Lower toxins. Remove the toxins before you get pregnant and understand what you do. The three months before you get pregnant is really important for both partners. You need to have all the minerals that you can possibly get, all the good fats, and that can have a really good outcome.
