Me too... I am pregnant at 50 years old!

I just got married in September, and recently found out I am pregnant.

I had my last baby at age 31, back in 1987.

Like you, I also conceived naturally - I thought my cycle had stopped due to menopause as it had stopped for nearly a year twice before.

Surprise! I'm due to have this baby in June.

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.
