Pregnant for the 1st time at 45

I was pregnant for the first time at 45 years old, and I was scared too -- of everything!

I remember the night after I found out I woke up at 3:00 AM in pure panic.

Mostly I was scared I would have no idea what to do with a baby -- but hey, I found all my fears were completely unfounded.

Had a completely healthy excellent pregnancy, and I have never known anything so wonderful as carrying a child and then having a baby.

Well, I don't know I was saying that in the middle of labor, but even labor I would love to do it again... seriously!

TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
You Make Me Feel Like an Unnatural Woman: Diary of an Older Mother
by Judith Newman

-- Today the number of women having their first child over thirty-five has increased by a bazillion fold or some equally scary large number.

Newman is the first to write a book telling what it's really like when a trip to the drugstore entails the purchase of both diaper cream and wrinkle cream; when getting your shots means both immunization and Botox.

You Make Me Feel Like an Unnatural Woman is not only about having children later in life: it's about what happens to a marriage — and to the spirit when even the most sought-after baby comes.

Wry, warm, and brutally honest, this is the book for any woman — whatever her age — who has awakened at 3AM to the insistent shrieks of her darling and thought: Oh man, I'm too old for this.

Paperback: 320 pages
