I'm nearly 50 & pregnant
I'm nearly 50 years old (in September).
Three years ago I had a Mirena IUD fitted, to help control heavy bleeding.
It worked brilliantly.
However, it doesn't seem to have been quite so good as a contraceptive.
Because now I am pregnant!
Almost unbelievable, really.

One of my coworkers came into my office rather upset, and confided in me about his wife.
She was 45 years old, had just found out that she was pregnant BY ACCIDENT.
They had not planned on having another.

I had my daughter (my one and only) when I was 44 years old.
I was so happy to be pregnant, I didn't care what anyone else thought.
Now that I'm 46 years old, I am thinking about having another baby.

Just popped in to show the application
for membership I just received/approved today for 40PlusMoms:
I am 47 years old, and am a parent of a 4-year-old and twin 5-month-olds.
I would like to be in touch with other older moms of young children.
Enjoying your blog... Take care, Debbie

My grandmother had three babies in her 40s.
She had her last baby at 45 years old.
