ROUND ROCK — When Linda Smith, a 59-year-old grandmother, couldn't shake jet lag after a December trip to Europe, she figured she was going through menopause. It turned out she was pregnant.
"It was a big shock," Smith said Tuesday, a day after giving birth to a 5-pound, 11-ounce boy named Django. "My husband was jumping up and down for joy, and I was just dumbfounded."

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 our 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 there will be no more babies in our house.

Well, you're definetely not unique in giving birth at 43. Women older than that are conceiving, god bless.
Hope all goes well with the induction.
