My wife gave birth to a child at the age of 39 years. According to doctors, at this age, it is difficult for a woman get pregnant. In addition, he suffered from cysts and hypertyroid.
However, currently we have a child that is given by God. We had to wait for a child to us since we've got married 5 years ago.
During this waiting time we spent many times and a lot of money. We went to the many doctors. First of all we have to do surgery the cyst, and treat hypertyroid as doctors recommended. In our opinion, giving a birth at the age of 39 years is a special gift from God. Now we wait for the second child, if God let it be. Thank you for reading our experiences.

It is worth the wait and congratulations.
My mom gave birth to our youngest when she is 39 year old also. She got ceasarian that time cause my brother is just 7 months that time, my mom rushed to hospital due to slipping in yhe floor that time. After giving birth every thing goes fine and now my brother is in college healthy and fine.

It's very important what you believe. In my country a lady gave birth at the age of 61 and her child is healthy.
It's true that at this age chances are that the child can have some health issues but it's just that - chance, not certainty.
I'm happy for you and my advice is to nurture your gift from God.

Its very possible my mom had my sister when she was 41, My sister is now 3 years old and she is very healthy. I am almost, 19 so its a little weird but, my parents are divorced and on my dads side he has a 4 year old who is my other sister and my step brother who is 7 so i am surrounded by little kids everywhere.

Congratulations! God indeed can produce miracles because unlike when others say that giving birth is miracle even when it is so easy and so frequent, in your case this is a true miracle. It was not just the surgery and the medical help, it was God's gift. Is it a boy or a girl?

Hello pormadi. My wife got pregnant at thirty eight and gave birth to my baby son at thirty nine. Now this baby son of mine is more than three years old, and will be four next month. We consider this child of ours an angel as well as a gift to us from God. Now my baby son is growing healthily and happily. I wish your dream of having a second child to come true. Good luck to you.

Giving birth at 39 is normal, even at 49 too unless one has not reached menopause or has several health issues like yours, once they are overcome one can enjoy motherhood..
thanks for sharing
Let’s enjoy life to fullest.

At last God had heard your prayer and given you the child Your faith on god has worked as at last.
There are many cases in the world where lady has given the birth to child even after they had cross 40 years, and one lady had given the birth to the child when she was more then 60. Such cases we can say nothing but the miracles.
Hope both mother and the child are very well. Congrats

You have waited for a long time for your wife to have a child. And when she did, she was 39 years old.
I think it's God's answer to your long time request. So , be thankful and just pray that the child will grow to be of no abnormality, because it is said that at that age there is a chance that the child might be of defect.

Hi friend, good to hear that your wife give birth to a kid, congrats for it. Hope both mother and kid are safe. In this modern days, some women give birth after 50's too.. There is nothing impossible in this modern trend. Hope you will give birth to your second kid soon and wishes for it

I've heard that if it's your first child, the chances of the child have medical difficulties increases. I wouldn't worry about it too much though, I was 32 when I had my first child and I was also told that I was an old mother. Your child is a gift from God. Enjoy your very special experience.

That is wonderful and yes it is true the longer a woman waits, the harder it is to get pregnant. I had three children from ago 20-26, and then 12 years later, (I was 39) I got pregnant again with my fourth child. I was more mature and wiser at 39, so I ate healthy food and kept very active, (I was a part of a dance team up to 2 weeks before giving birth) and was in such good shape, people I frequently saw, didn't know I was pregnant. Anyway, the pregnancy and delivery went really well and I congratulate you and your wife on your new addition..

It is more difficult to get pregnant and carry a child when a woman is older because the body isn't in as good of shape but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. Lots of ladies are having their babies late and they come out just find. It's great that you are under the supervision of doctors and it is much safer this way. 
Congratulations.

My youngest gransdaughter was born when my daughter was 45 years old. She was not her first baby, but still it`s old to be a mother. The girl (now almost 2 years old) and my granddaughter are fine. Just remember that everything that has to do with human beings is unique. Statistics don`t count.
