Not so unusual for women over 50 to give birth

The "world record" does not take into account that in many "third world" countries it is not so unusual for women over 50 to conceive and give birth.
I also feel that women over 45 should fess up so as not to give a false impression, but on the other hand there are many women over 45 who get pregnant on their own without any fertility treatments whatsoever, and we don't hear about all of 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.
