Her mother had her 10th & last child at 46 in 1879

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Monday, December 04, 2006 | 0 comments

My mother had 2 "oops" babies at 38 (me) and 40.5, while using birth control, then had her tubes tied, because she seemed to be getting more fertile with age. Her sister had her only child at age 40.

Their mother (my grandmother) had her last child (my mom) at 37. HER mother (my great-grandmother) had her last child at 42, 14 years after her previous child, very shameful for the time (1904).

HER mother (my great-great-grandmother) had her tenth and last child at 46 in 1879!

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
