It is possible to conceive a baby right up until menopause. This is why every woman is told by her doctor to use birth control for a full year after her final menstrual period. If you still think pregnancy at menopause cannot happen, I suggest reading Hot Flashes, Warm Bottles, by Nancy London, MSW. This book details the challenges faced by women going through menopause who have babies.

I'm 44 and expecting our 4th. I'm due June 11 and so far am having less trouble with this pregnancy than I did with the one at 40! Go figure? I have a daughter 22, son 21, son 4 and grandson who is 1.

I'm 44, I'll be 45 in July. My fiance and I have been together 3 years. He's about 12 years younger than me. We started trying to have a child in Nov. of 2001. I got pregnant in January 2002 and then miscarried on March 22, 2002. I became pregnant again and on Nov. 25, 2003 I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. I would like to have another child, try for a boy...but I know my time is running out.

TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
Hot Flashes Warm Bottles : First-Time Mothers Over Forty
by Nancy London
-- The first prescriptive and anecdotal guidebook for the multitudes of older moms, and distills the wisdom, insight, and practical advice gathered during her years as a therapist and support group leader.
With tips for renewing physical and sexual energy, parenting after infertility and adoption, balancing career and family, and caring for elderly parents, the personal stories from these older moms are often humorous, sometimes surprising, but always reassuring.
Without exception, the reader will be left with the comforting knowledge that she is not alone on her journey. Hot Flashes fills a much-needed place in the parenting field, at a time when more and more women are embracing motherhood later in life.

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.
