Mom had me at 45 in 1968

My mother was 45 when she had me in 1968.

If she wasn't too old then, you are definitely not too old now.

Sure everyone gave her a hard time, but I am glad she didn't listen to them!

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.
