I'm 45, 30w pregnant with my 8th child

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Tuesday, March 19, 2019 | 0 comments

I am 45 years old, and I am 30 weeks pregnant with my eighth child.

This is my fifth pregnancy.

I have decided to forego all the testing, excepting for the routine blood work.

My midwife asked me if I would change anything or do anything, should the testing show any abnormalities - and I say NO!

So that kind of clinched it for me.

But there's no denying the fact that their biological clocks are ticking away.

The odds of conceiving drop by 15 to 20 percent for a woman in her early 30s and plummet to less than 50 percent when she's in her 40s.

The good news is there are a host of natural strategies every would-be mom can use today to preserve and optimize her fertility so that she can conceive quickly and easily when she's ready.

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.
