I am not a mom.... Yet. I say hat as I am 46 yrs old and my husband & I are wanting a child of our own. He is 53. 2 grown children. I have kept telling myself I don't want children, but I keep thinking about what my child would look like. And how I would be as a mother. We actually had his son living with us for about 10 yrs when the boy was 15 and I was just 29. So it was a challenging time for all of us and frankly I think it scared my away from having my own. But now I really desire for a child of my own, with my hopes and dreams for a future plus I think my husband would be a good father , full time , seeing as he really did not get that time with his kids due to the divorce.....adoption is probably unlikely due to our age and other circumstances we can't change. I also highly hope that I can get pregnant on own, as ivf txs are $$$$ I am Sch an appt with Gyne dr. Will see how it goes from there. Wish us luck.

I had my ninth childe when I was 44, no complications. He is a strong healthy 14 year old now, and a blessing. I named him Adam, gift from God.

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!!!

I am 44 and just found out i am 7 weeks pregant, i had a unterine ablasion five years ago and they told me i was starting pre- menapause begiining of this year. This is a huge shock, but i believe it is a gift from god. I have four other great kids youngest being 13. I am concerned about having a healthy baby on this go around. This blog helped me realize that there are many women out there having babys over 40 and those babies are healthy!!
