No period in 2 years, pregnant at 48

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Tuesday, November 13, 2012 | 0 comments

Did any one see the TV show "Special Delivery" a few days ago?

There was a woman, 48 years old, hadn't had a period in 2 years, and was pregnant.

She didn't even know she was pregnant until she was 6 months along (she thought her menopause was "acting up").

She gave birth, at term and naturally, to a very healthy baby girl. It was her first child.

She had never been pregnant before. Amazing!

Hot Flashes Warm Bottles : First-Time Mothers Over Forty

-- The first prescriptive and anecdotal guidebook for the multitudes of older moms, and distills the wisdom, insight, and practical advice gathered during her years as a therapist and support group leader.

With tips for renewing physical and sexual energy, parenting after infertility and adoption, balancing career and family, and caring for elderly parents, the personal stories from these older moms are often humorous, sometimes surprising, but always reassuring.

Without exception, the reader will be left with the comforting knowledge that she is not alone on her journey. Hot Flashes fills a much-needed place in the parenting field, at a time when more and more women are embracing motherhood later in life.

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.
