That friend I was going to see when we met, is pregnant with twins at 49! She will be 50 in June.

My husband and I decided we would try until we couldn't try any longer. We have friends who had their last child at 45. Not that we like that age for us, but it does give us hope.

A Midwife’s Tale: November, 1793: More distressing was the behaviour of her old friend and neighbour Elizabeth Weston, who was overwhelmed by her last pregnancy, an unexpected and probably unwelcome event. She was 45 years old, her youngest child already six.

Furthermore, since her daughter Betsy had recently married Thomas Fillebrown, she was more disposed to welcome grandchildren than another child of her own. The summons came on November 9 at 3:00 a.m., and "She was safe delivered at 4 hour 30 minutes of a fine son."
