Grandma had 3 kids over the age of 40

Last year I read a study that said moms who had any children after age 33 were on average, very long-lived.

Women Who Have Babies After 33 Live Longer, Study Says
...it wasn't a small difference; women who had their last child after the age of 33 doubled their chances of living to age 95 or older compared with women whose last child was born before their 30th birthday.

It made sense to me because my grandmother had three of her kids over the age of 40, and she lived till she was 97 years old.

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.
