Excellent question. My mom had me when she was 39 and my sister when she was 41. With age comes the risk of birth defects. I had a defective foot that was corrected over time, and my sister was born with a hole in her heart. My mother was on her 2nd marriage, my father on his 3rd.
Hormones could be why some women get pregnant later in life.
