How I Boosted My Fertility Naturally at 42

I had my first child shortly before turning 40 – a bouncy gorgeous boy who’s nearly four now. He was 2 years old when I felt ready to start trying for a second baby. I’d just finished writing a book on later motherhood and was keen to try out all the pre-conception measures on myself. At 42 I actually felt better and more vibrant than I did at 32. Partly thanks to a healthier diet and lifestyle.

Even though I was 42, an age where most doctors wrongly say you have a 5% chance of getting pregnant, I felt that I would have another baby. This is an important aspect because science is proving that our health is largely determined by our thoughts and emotions.

Throughout my yoga practice and meditation I focused on being strong and healthy and fertile. I told my body it was getting ready to grow a baby. And sure enough, a few months later the cyst had disappeared and I got pregnant. My second child is nine months old now and brings so much joy to my life daily. I’ll be 44 this year and still feeling broody. Maybe in a year or two I might try for a third child. I sincerely believe that as long as you’re menstruating you can get pregnant. The key to having a healthy baby is in your diet, lifestyle and mindset.
