Had my first child last year at 45

Image: The Benefits of Being an Older Mom

I had my first child last year, a few months after I'd turned 45 years old.

My husband and I (though he is six years younger than me) are taking on new parenthood at a time when most parents our age are looking ahead to diapering their first grandchild, not their own newborn.

I am sure, when I was 25 years old, if someone had told me a 45-year-old woman maybe, just maybe, was wiser than me as a result of age and experience, I would have told that person to stuff it — except I would have used a less-polite term.

But now, through the benefit of that same age and experience I did not think mattered, I now see we older moms do offer certain advantages to our kids.

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.
