I know of two people who were change of life babies, my mother is one of them.

My mom was the unexpected child last of a family of nine children.

The other person is the youngest of only three children, but there are 25 years between her and her other siblings.

When I first met their family at church, I thought her sister was her mother - and her mother was her grandmother!

My mother is in her mid-50s and is barely going through menopause.

I am sure it could be have been possible for her to get pregnant when she was 50 years old.

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.
