It's increasingly common. Fertility is lower at that age and there are generally hivher risks, but it is different for each individual. My aunt had her first baby the day after she turned 40. Second at 44 with a miscarriage between. But she's super healthy in general (other than anti vax hippy shit), and had fairly easy pregnancies. May have had pre eclampsia, I can't remember. Unwisely didn't have some pregnancy screenings, too, iirc.
Is it normal to have a kid at 39?
