I am 44y & due to deliver in 10 days

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Tuesday, February 20, 2007 | 0 comments

I am 44 years old, my husband is 51, and I have BOTH my in-laws living with me (76 and 82). I have two teenage daughters (15 and 11 years old). I am due to deliver in 10 days, and have had a problem-free pregnancy, much to my absolute amazement. It can be done!

I did have an amniocentesis done and was a nervous wreck waiting for the results -- the results came back normal, but I never want to have to experience those two weeks again when I had to wait for the result. I am going to have a boy, so I am excited.

We really do not have the money for this child, but does one ever?

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.
