I was 46 for my 2nd child

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Tuesday, April 17, 2012 | 0 comments

I was 36 when my first baby was born, 46 for my second.

Both children were unplanned and conceived naturally.

They are both a joy and a delight and have opened up new worlds.

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.
