Im 45 and 20 weeks pregnant with my second child, from my second marriage. It was a planned pregnancy and we had a result within 5 months.... I thought my chances of falling pregnant would be very slim indeed. My daughter is 14 and so excited about getting a little sister. I had an amnio, knowing I was high risk but the results came back clear and now I can enjoy the rest of my pregnancy after a knuckle biting "I hope all is well and what if its not" period.
At 40 I wanted to be sterilised, having no intention of settling down again and the thought of remarriage was a total no no! But I met a wonderful man and have started over again. At a time when my career was on upturn Ive had to make a sacrifice where that is concerned but Im happy with my choice. I dont know what a 45 year old is meant to feel like! But I have a youthful outlook to life, Im not worried what others think: that only puts un necessary pressure on you and your family.
Best wishes, whatever you decide!
