Just read in the paper today Author Helen Fielding had her second baby at 48! Life has mirrored art for Bridget Jones’ author Helen. Just like her heroine (played by Renee Zellweger), Helen became a mum in her 40s. Helen, now 58 years old, had her son Dashiell at 43 but she was 48 years old when she gave birth to daughter Romy with her former partner, the American comedy writer Kevin Curran. Some hope for us would be older mums, don't you think?

I  am  another 45 year-old mother-to-be, I will be almost 46 1/2 years old when the baby is born in late summer. No interventions and I had one miscarriage at 44 years old, after six weeks along. My Down's risk was 1 in 18 before my nuchal translucency/blood test. It was thankfully decreased to 1 in 185 afterward. I'm feeling very thankful and will get another ultrasound, and probably an amnio at 18 weeks.

I can't relate to being an over 50 years old mom, but I'm the daughter of an over 50 mom. I'm child number seven, arriving when my mom was 55 years old, and her second menopause baby! Most of our nieces and nephews were older than us, except two were born within eight months of me! My sisters said what was weird was being pregnant when Mom was, and she didn't go crazy over the grand-kids as much as their in-laws did. I was so lucky to have my mom for 40 years after my birth. My older kids loved her sooo much. TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION: 50 Things You Can Do Today to Increase You ..read more

Yes, I am 51 years old... and pregnant! To say it's a shock, is really a minor name for the way I'm feeling. This is very much an unplanned pregnancy, we were not trying to get pregnant. Not at all! To be honest, I really thought my baby making days were behind me. I did not think it was even possible to get pregnant at my age. Neither did my doctor! But then the ultrasound tech found a beautiful baby boy inside me!

No higher risk for Down's Syndrome
Pregnancy Stories By Age
by
3y ago
Women over 40 DO NOT have a higher risk for Down's Syndrome babies. That statistic is skewed. The risk is higher for Down's babies with a FIRST pregnancy and since in the last 20 years, a greater majority of women were choosing to put off having babies until in their 40s all of a sudden the instances of Down's babies over the age of 40 increased drastically! But it wasn't women in general over 40 having babies... it was STILL first pregnancies with the high risk - it just so happened many more of these first pregnancies were occurring over age 40. Thus the stats changed but were never ex ..read more

I'm now 48 years old, and just had a positive pregnancy test. My husband and I are so excited about finally having a baby. I am hoping I won't have a miscarriage. It's a huge fear for me, I worry constantly about every little problem. In the meantime, I'm bracing myself for comments, both from health care professionals *and* from our relatives. I hope they will be accepting, but I am afraid I will receive negative comments about our ages, and possible health problems with our baby.

Unplanned pregnancy at 44

For what it's worth, in this conversation: My very good friend had an unplanned pregnancy when she was 44 years old. She had no idea what her FSH [follicle stimulating hormone] was. She delivered her son when she was 45 years old. I know that doesn't necessarily resonate with some of us here. She might not have had high FSH, and she did have other children many years previously. Her son is 16 years younger than his closest in age sister, and she wasn't struggling with TTC [trying to conceive]. But I just wanted to share my friend's experience to show the anonymous poster's choice of a ..read more
