I am carrying a perfect, healthy baby at 55

I didn't wish to post an announcement too soon. As I have not had a normal menstrual cycle since March 2005, and I am 55.

I am carrying a perfect, healthy and active baby girl due in late September, conceived 100% naturally. (approx. EDD 9/29)

At 18 weeks along, I feel wonderful and we are just ecstatic. My youngest is turning 17 this month. I am planning a home birth, hopefully in a tub of warm of water.

I didn't do anything special to become pregnant, except apply The Secret ~~ the Universal Law of Attraction. My last confirmed pregnancy ended in miscarriage in December 02, and I had several "chemical pregnancies".....

My husband and I were TTC [trying to conceive] since 1998 -- while I never gave up, we did stop "trying".

I simply convinced myself that this baby was possible, and have been so grateful for her presence even before she was conceived. I will keep you updated. - Debbie

At 46 I found my soul mate, and on December 25 2006 I got "knocked up" the old fashioned way. Both he and I had given up on finding someone, not to mention babies. This is my first.

I was in your shoes last year. I was 43 and pregnant with our 4th. My youngest was 10. I, however was the one who was unhappy and worried about the pregnancy. I dreaded the thought of having a baby. It took me a very long time to get used to being pregnant. I had to deal with many different feelings. I hoped it would go away, but it wouldn't.

Now, we have a beautiful 5 month little boy. I love him dearly. I marvel at everything he does. It brings me so much joy just to listen to his giggle, or see his smile, and hold his little hands and feet. My husband on the other hand was always OK with having him. He said that God had a plan. He was right.
