Best friend had baby at 45
One of my very best friends just delivered her baby on Tuesday night.
She is my age (just turned 45 years old), and this is her second baby.
She conceived naturally, without any medical assistance.
She had her first child at 43 years old, also conceived naturally.
After several miscarriages, an ectopic pregnancy, and failed IVF [in vitro fertilization].
TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
Surprise Child: Finding Hope in Unexpected Pregnancyby Leslie Leyland Fields
-- Unplanned pregnancies happen to women in every season of life: the newly married, the never-married, the empty-nester, the teenager, the overworked mother, the career woman.
Yet we rarely talk about how lonely and confusing this experience can be.
In Surprise Child, Leslie Leyland Fields, who experienced two unplanned pregnancies in her forties, lyrically weaves her own story with the stories of other women who understand the isolation you face as expectations and plans are turned upside down to make room for a child.
Each year, more than three million women discover themselves pregnant–at a hard time, the wrong time, at a difficult place in their lives. I am one of those women...
Together, these women walk with you month-by-month through the physical and emotional stages of pregnancy, voicing with startling honesty their own anxieties and struggles.
Here you will find the companionship and hope you need to journey toward new life.
