Born when his mum was 46

HELEN DALLEY: In her grief, Deborah figured that was her first and last chance to have a baby, yet, three years later, she complained to her husband that she must be heading into menopause.

DEBORAH THOMAS: I feel exhausted, I feel shocking. This menopause is just the worst thing I'm going through. As it turned out, I was three months pregnant.

HELEN DALLEY: You had mistaken pregnancy for menopause?

DEBORAH THOMAS: Absolutely.

HELEN DALLEY: So at 45...

DEBORAH THOMAS: I fell pregnant.

HELEN DALLEY: Naturally.

DEBORAH THOMAS: Naturally.

HELEN DALLEY: No IVF?

DEBORAH THOMAS: No IVF.

HELEN DALLEY: The result was little Oscar, now aged two. He was born when his mum was 46 years old - a biological rarity.

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.
