And if all elves would be invisible that would mean that at a early point no children would be born, cause it would take a lot of time for an elf to become invisible and it is a really sad thought that in valinor would be no elven children.[/QUOTE]
I think the thing about Elves becoming invisible (more properly known as Fading) refers to those lingering in Middle-earth in the Fourth and following Ages, not to those in the Undying Lands of Valinor.

So could a 10.000 years elven women bear a child?

IIRC Laws and Customs says that Elves tended to have children early in their lives and lose interest for (and therefore, maybe, capability of) procreation later; so I'd guess an elf-woman bearing a child at 10.000+ would be exceptional.
As for the child consuming a lot of the mother's spirit, that was the case with Miriel and Fëanor, but that was rather exceptional; Nerdanel had seven sons without being any the worse for it.
