At the age of 54, Karen Johnston could be counting down the days until her eight children have all flown the nest.

Instead, she's having two more of them.

A self-confessed baby addict, she was devastated when she went through the menopause six years ago.

She was told she was too old to have IVF in Britain.

Thanks to IVF treatment in a foreign clinic, Mrs. Johnston is now six months pregnant with twins - 33 years after she had her first child.

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.
