His Mother had her last baby at 53.

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Sunday, February 25, 2007 | 0 comments

I am a cashier at Wally World and when I looked up to check out the next person it was a MUCH older man with a girl in the sitting part of the buggy who looked like she was about 5 or 6. I thought “oh, what a cute Grandpa and Granddaughter“.

Well, after chatting for a minute or two, it turns out that it was his daughter, the youngest one, HIS OLDEST IS 51. You heard me right - 51 years old.


Of course, I did not want to be rude, but I was not interested in his age... (shame on me) you know what I wanted to know... HIS WIFE’S age. He told me she was 47 when she had this one and before this one, came three more she had in her forties. And he told me his Mother had her last baby at 53.

With the range of ages of his kids and the age of his wife, I am guessing this is a second marriage.

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.
