Pregnant at 50

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Wednesday, May 29, 2019 | 1 comments

So here I am, pregnant at 50 years old, dumped by a man I loved for six years.

I have no insurance and am presently unemployed.

I am too old to be a single parent, and I don't want this cold, selfish man back.

I don't know what to do to keep my sanity and make this decision alone.

TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
The Joy of Later Motherhood:Your Natural Path to Healthy Babies Even in Your 40s
by Bettina Gordon-Wayne

-- The much-needed antidote to all the negative hype surrounding motherhood at advanced maternal age (which is 35+).

Written by seasoned journalist Bettina Gordon-Wayne—herself a first-time mom at 44 and the third generation of women in her family who did not get the memo that conceiving a baby after 40 is dangerous, if not outright impossible.

It is written from the perspective of the women who actually achieved what millions of women are striving for: naturally conceiving a healthy baby after 35 and, especially, after 40.

Maybe you are worried or are upset. Maybe you doubt that motherhood will ever happen for you. We get it. We have been there. With our stories, we want to lovingly see you through this journey as much as we can.

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.

Though you are alone and probably feeling low, you should face up to your situation. A baby at fifty is a great blessing. At fifty, your level of maturity should help you to be strong and more patient. Be thankful to GOD and raise your child well. He/she may very well give you a new lease of life.

I m 50, married for 21years without a child yet. I would be absolutely delighted to be pregnant!

i wish you and your baby the very best.
