I always wanted children late; I had my first daughter at 39 and the second at 45.
Giving birth to triplets at the age of forty-three is no walk in the park, but I had little choice. I got married at the young age of forty, and both my husband, Shirish, and I were keen to start a family soon.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I was 35 years old, and I was working in a pet shop.
I was 47 when I got pregnant. I'd been trying for a couple of years and thought it would never happen.
I gave birth aged 45, which was a bit of a shock.
My father was 64 when I was conceived, my mother 38, which was late for babies in the 1940s.
I had a second trimester abortion. I was pregnant with a much-wanted child who was diagnosed with a genetic abnormality. I made a choice to terminate the pregnancy. It was my third pregnancy, and I was very obviously showing. More important, I could feel the baby move.
A 66-YEAR-OLD woman has become the oldest new mum in Britain after giving birth to a baby boy. I'm amazed she needed to have a caesarean section though, you'd think at 66 she would have needed some masking tape down there just to stop it falling out.
My natural mother died one month after I was born, apparently due to giving birth at an advanced age.
I didn't think it was possible at my age, honestly. They call it a geriatric pregnancy.
I see lots of women having beautiful children later in life. And, if not, just freeze your eggs!
We have a generation of women who think that they can just have IVF, and everything will be fine. The odds are against you once you start having IVF, and the odds are against you over the age of 35. And to pretend that it's easy to have a baby in your 40s or 50s is - it's just selling women a false dream.
There is something about having babies in your 40s that is unique in both a humiliating and amazing way.
I got pregnant at 40 by surprise. It's funny, because when we found out we were pregnant, I said, 'Okay, let's experience that.' You just have to just go with it because it's rare.
I'm a late bloomer. Being a late bloomer is a problem when you decide at 40 you want to have children.
There's a lot of technology out there to help people have children in different ways, and later in life, for better or worse.
A friend of mine told me she's going to freeze her eggs, and I thought, 'Well, I also don't want to be a 55-year-old first time mother,' so you kind of just have to go with what happens.
I don't know how we're going to have this baby because I'm in my forties and I can't even remember my first son's name. But I'm going to have another baby because I'm feeling good.
