Having a baby at 40+ is possible but there is more of a chance of the child being deformed or disabled. It will also be harder to conceive than a woman in her 20's or 30's.
Having a baby is a big commitment from both the mother and father and having a baby without being in a close relationship is not advised as this will effect the childs upbringing. As this man doesn't know your real age tells that you arn't in a close relationship.
Good luck

If he doesn't know your real age, perhaps you 2 shouldnt be thinking about children.However, you will have lots of time to make a decision if he is in prison.
