My youngest at 46

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Saturday, June 08, 2019 | 0 comments

I had my last child when I was 46 years old.

I have certainly heard of many other women on this board who have delivered healthy babies when they were over 45 years old.

I think the oldest mom-to-be on this discussion board was 49 years old when she gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

Stay Fertile Longer: Everything You Need to Know to Get Pregnant Now--Or Whenever You're Ready
by Mary Kittel and Deborah Metzger

-- Many women today dream of having it all -- a challenging career, a satisfying personal life, a loving mate, and a baby whenever they are ready.

But there's no denying the fact their biological clocks are ticking away.

The odds of conceiving drop by 15 to 20 percent for a woman in her early 30s, and plummet to less than 50 percent when she is in her 40s.

The good news is there are a host of natural strategies every would-be mom can use today to preserve and optimize her fertility so she can conceive quickly and easily when she's ready.

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.
