Mom had me at 45

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Wednesday, January 30, 2008 | 0 comments

Reading these studies, I also found myself thinking of my 80-year-old mother, who is still out on the tennis court lobbing backhands past opponents half her age.

In the past, I had attributed her seemingly eternal youth to her hardy Swiss genes -- though her parents died young, and looked their age. But maybe the answer lies more in my belated entrance into her life: She had me at the age of 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.
