Having a baby in your old age Now here's a thought for anyone contemplating motherhood at a certain time of life: Having a baby at 65 With all the new technology regarding fertility recently, a 65 year old woman was able to give birth to a baby. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, her relatives came to visit. "May we see the new baby?" one asked. "Not yet," said the mother. "I'll make coffee and we can visit for a while first." Thirty minutes had passed, and another relative asked, "May we see the new baby now?" "No, not yet," said the mother. After another few minutes had elapsed, they asked again, "May we see the baby now?" "No, not yet," replied the mother. Growing very impatient, they asked, "Well, when can we see the baby?" "WHEN HE CRIES!" she told them. "WHEN HE CRIES?" they demanded to know why. "Why do we have to wait until he CRIES?" "BECAUSE, I forgot where I put him."
