Yesterday I ran into someone I hadn't seen for years at the grocery store. I found out that she had her last baby at 45, and another woman I used to know had her baby at 44. She said they both took tinctures of false unicorn and wild yam, which are supposed to help maintain pregnancy.

A man called into WGN radio over the weekend. He and his wife are both 52 years old and have 6 children all of whom are girls. The youngest is 21 years old. They were getting ready to downsize into a condo, when they found out his wife was pregnant. She'd had already gone through menopause. They just found out they are having a boy.
