First of all, I did it the "old-fashioned way"! No drugs, no surrogate, just a good 'ole romp in the hay! I know I am one of the fortunate ones - got pregnant on my honeymoon at 41, and again during a family trip to Disney at 45; SURPRISE!
But, my mom had me at 40, and my grandma had her last at 46 - just a bunch of fertile chicks! Two generations ago, a LOT of women had "change-of-life" babies before the pill.

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.
