I will be 44 at delivery

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Thursday, August 13, 2009 | 0 comments

I am 43 and am about 8 weeks pregnant. I too will be 44 at delivery. I have 2 precious little boys, age 6 and almost 4 (November 21).

I have had 2 miscarriages since my youngest boy and have just felt like my family was not complete. I am petrified!!

I had a sono 2 weeks ago and they saw a heartbeat so that is good, but I am not out of the woods.

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.
