Just found out I am pregnant at 44!!! My husband and I are still shocked (but thrilled) to find out that we are expecting. Have to go for a sonogram tomorrow, but the doctor estimates we are about 4 to 5 weeks. I have been through multiple surgeries, endometriosis, adhesions etc over the past 20 years and never thought it could happen. As a matter of fact we have two beautiful babies (what we call in the adoption world) "virtual twins" adopted from the country of Kazakhstan in 2/2003 that are now 2 1/2 years old!!! I can't believe we (god willing) will have another baby!

If your friend wants facts I would add the fact that having a baby at a later age and breastfeeding it actually lessens the likelihood of osteoporosis for the mother - just so she knows there are positive and beneficial things associated with late motherhood too (apart from having a child, obviously)

I used to be a midwife and the oldest Mum I saw was 49 - all went well as far as I can recall. - Aragon
