I'm having a baby at 47

At 47 years old, Luisa Dillner has four children she adores – the eldest is 21 years old.

And now she's pregnant with her fifth child, the last thing she expected at her time of life.

First of all, my belt becomes tight.

My low-carb diet has been working a treat, so I am surprised and disappointed.

I recap how much I've eaten over the past week.

Then I start going off alcohol.

In a big way, because alcohol now has an unpleasant, metallic taste.

My partner notices, as I can't help noticing, I haven't had a period for a while.

Sweetly he puts an arm around me.

Maybe you're having an early menopause, he muses.
Don't worry, you'll be all right.

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.
