She just gave birth to her 1st child at 48

I heard a nice story over the holidays about a childhood neighbour. The woman has been married 15+ years, and just gave birth to her first child at age 48!

The pregnancy was a total surprise, as she and her husband had stopped trying ages ago. There were a few scares during the pregnancy, but the baby girl came right on time and is healthy and perfect with parents who are beyond thrilled.

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.
