Oops babies in the late forties, early 50's
Kaiya posted: Recently at my list Over40Mommies a woman joined who is 50 or 51 years old, and also has older children.
She now is with a new husband who is in his 30s.
There is a history of several mature pregnancies in her family.
Most notably her maternal grandmother who gave birth to her uncle at 54 years old.
Her grandmother had many births at home, but she decided to go to the hospital for the birth of the uncle who was perfectly healthy.
So she doesn't feel she is too old.

Louise posted: A woman who has had children at 40, 42 and 44 years old herself was talking to a nurse in her doctor's office.
The nurse told a story of a woman who, at 56 years old, came in complaining of weight gain and abdominal discomfort.
She had not had a cycle in years
so they didn't think pregnancy at first.
They did a number of tests for other things, only to discover she was actually pregnant and nearly 6 months along!!
She had a healthy baby girl three months later.
Her husband was in his 60s.
