I can answer this question easily. I just turned 54, I am in menopause and I have a wonderful 6 year old son who lights up my life. My husband and I have other friends who also ahd children late. I also have 3 grown step-children. This was my first child. I feel blessed. It took some extra help to get pregnant, but I loved being pregnant and everything about motherhood.
I am a pediatric occupational therapist, so I was more or less prepared for what to expect. My son was recently diagnosed aDHD combined type, so he is not the easiest child to raise. But he is a blessing to my life. His presence is a gift. Having him was the easiest and best decision I ever made.
By the way, our neighbors are 63 and have 2 teenagers. She had grown children when she met her husband and he wanted kids. They feel the same way that we do.
