Yes, it was a natural pregnancy - didn't do anything different except “baby-dance” [have sex] in the afternoon. I take vitamins, B-Complex, Omega 3's, selenium and magnesium everyday. Hope you get your BFP [big fat postive - on a pregnancy test] this month. - Kim (45)

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.

    I had my first child at age 28 and met my husband when I was age 39. I conceived and had a natural birth at age 41 then had my third child at age 43. I had an unexpected pregnancy at age 44 which ended in miscarriage and am currently trying for just one more at age 45!
