At 45, I gave birth to my 1st child

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Tuesday, December 20, 2011 | 0 comments

So I let go of trying to control my body and relaxed.

At age 45, I defied the experts and gave birth to my first child, a robust nine-pound girl, born during the time of the Olympic Games in Sydney.

My faith in magic was restored.

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.
