'Menopause' woman gives birth

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Sunday, July 28, 2019 | 1 comments

A 44-year-old mother says she was shocked when she gave birth to her third child on a Derbyshire street.

Jane Eadie, from Langley Mill, said she had no idea she was pregnant and thought she was suffering from food poisoning.

She believed she had gained weight over the last nine months because she had stopped taking some pills, and she thought she had started the menopause.

What Every Woman Should Know About Fertility and Her Biological Clock
by Cara Birrittieri

-- Until now, there has been little practical advice on what women can do about ticking biological clocks.

What Every Woman Should Know About Her Biological Clock is the first book to explore a woman's reproductive lifespan completely, from beginning to end.

Based on Cara Birrittieri's own experience of running up against a slowing biological clock, she shows women for the first time how to "tell what time it is" with a simple blood test giving them a peek at the state of their ovaries.

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.

Lovely story for all those who have never had a child of their own, Wondering is this her actual picture of herself and the baby she gave Birth to? if so could she speak a little herself here about the events prior to her giving birth, EG: what exactly where symptoms of Menopause etc, and what to her made those different than form a pregnancy feeling for her self.
