Grandma who's a mum again at 53
At the age of 53, Debbie Hughes imagined the only babies she would be looking after would be her granddaughters.
Instead, despite taking the contraceptive Pill, she has become one of Britain's oldest ever naturally conceiving mothers – giving birth to a healthy baby boy named Kyle.
Miss Hughes took a pregnancy test after her family teased her about putting on weight, expecting the notion she was having another child to be swiftly ruled out.
But after putting on her reading glasses to decipher the result, the astonishing news began to sink in.
Now she is nursing the unexpected addition to her family, who is 26 years younger than his elder brother.

Nowhere was there a book for the almost 3 million adult women facing surprise pregnancy every year.
Surprise Motherhood is aimed directly at that gap, telling the stories of Ophelia and other women who have faced unplanned pregnancy as an adult, professional women.
With extensive information about options, paternity, career issues, postpartum depression, finances, and more, Surprise Motherhood is the only reference of its kind, and is sure to be an invaluable reader resource.
