I am currently 45 and expecting a baby in May of 2014. I recently had a little boy in March 2013 and I have two older children both girls ages 24 & 16. I had many fertility problems after I had my 2nd child and was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. After years of seeing specialist we (my hubby & I) gave up as I hit the big 40. Miraculously my cycles started to come regularly again after age 42, however I was thinking that with my past hx, age, and likelihood of conceiving over 40 was not a reality. I took a pregnancy test one morning and I discovered that I was pregnant. My baby boy was born healthy at full term and I had no complications during my pregnancy. I didn't think that lightning would strike twice in a matter of 5 months but it did, now I find myself expecting again. I was a bit apprehensive at first as I was mostly concerned about what others would think, but then I thought to myself that this is the family that we should have had long ago and always wanted and God has saw fit to bless us with this miracle. We take care of our kids and are great parents. I feel glad that my little boy has someone to grow up with as my youngest will be going off to college after next year. Good luck to any over 40 Moms we rock!!!
