I was 45 with this pregnancy
I felt odd being pregnant at the age. Don't let anyone ever think you are freak, doctor or other person. I was not thrilled either, and my doctors knew it. I had never been so tired in all my life as I was at age 45 with the pregnancy. It did get better as time went on.
There were nights I cried myself to sleep at night, and was an emotional rollercoaster. But somehow I got through it, and had a beautiful baby boy. He was so precious, even though he didn't sleep for the first six weeks. He is my little love of my life now.

Having a baby at 45 - On Wednesday I went to see an OB/gyn [obstetrician/gynecologist] who performed an ultrasound.
He saw an embryo with a heartbeat ,and measurements suggested a gestational age of 7 weeks 4 days, which would make me about 8 weeks along as I write this.

Guess what? I just turned 45 in November of 2001, and the same thing as you. Surprised and shocked to find myself pregnant. That is now in the past because he is 4 and a half, and I am 50. -- Donna

I just saw a birthing video in my college class... and in it was a 45 year old Mom who thought she was going through menopause - and didn't know she was pregnant for five months! She had a super quick birth; no difficulties during pregnancy or delivery. Beautiful baby girl.
TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
What I Thought I Knew: A Memoirby Alice Eve Cohen
--A personal and medical odyssey beyond anything most women would believe possible
At age forty-four, Alice Eve Cohen was happy for the first time in years.
After a difficult divorce, she was engaged to an inspiring man, joyfully raising her adopted daughter, and her career was blossoming. Alice tells her fiancé that she's never been happier. And then the stomach pains begin.
In her unflinchingly honest and ruefully witty voice, Alice nimbly carries us through her metamorphosis from a woman who has come to terms with infertility to one who struggles to love a heartbeat found in her womb - six months into a high-risk pregnancy.
What I Thought I Knew is a page-turner filled with vivid characters, humor, and many surprises and twists of fate.
With the suspense of a thriller and the intimacy of a diary, Cohen describes her unexpected journey through doubt, a broken medical system, and the hotly contested terrain of motherhood and family in today's society.
Timely and compelling, What I Thought I Knew will capture readers of memoirs such as Eat, Pray, Love; The Glass Castle; and A Three Dog Life.
