We recently had a 46 yr old pt with IVF twins. When documenting her ob history, I realized she had her first baby in 1978!!

The youngest I've seen was 13.

Personally, I had my 4th child when I was 45. No complications with that one or the 3 before him. Easiest pregnancy and birth, he was, thanks to the epidural (great new invention)

Youngest: 10 (brother arrested for incest)

Oldest: 49, two days from 50. She thought she was going through menopause, till the pregnancy test came back.

Youngest was 12- her mother tried to punish her by not letting her have pain meds after a c-section- I was fuming, where was she when the girl got pregnant ?- But she got her pain meds though!:angryfire I don' let people suffer!(This was not an incest or a rape either, it was completely mutual- the girl told me she had been having sex since age 10!)

Oldest was 56! :eek: She was a career minded doctor who waited until she was in her 40's to try, had fertility issues, after several rounds of fertility drugs and 2 attempts of in vitro, she finally delivered at age 56! She is going back to work, hubby took early retirement. He was an engineer. They were nice enough, but geez! Anyway, she did deliver lady partslly, had PIH, Gest. Diabetes, and hemorrhaged after delivery. Got a total of 4 units PRBC's. Her abdomen was bruised from all of the fundal massage she required after delivery. She had Pitocin in her IV, and got Hemabate x 2 doses. I know it could happen and does happen everyday to younger people, but I don't recommend having a baby at that age! :idea: I think at that age it is just selfish. My .02 though!
