I am 45 and have a child under 2 years old. One of the midwives tried to talk me into aborting with all kinds of scary statistics. Since, I had miscarried before she felt that only doom was likely if I kept going. She ignored the fact that they tested and found no genetic abnormalities, so it was my body that failed. I had issues from an injury previously that made carrying harder. I wonder if she moonlighted at an abortion clinic because it was like she had a script memorized. Being my age, I know who I am and no one is going to influence me against my heart and what I know. I explained that this child was a gift and I wasn't giving it back. She then tried to insist on additional testing because I was so old....I told her it was unnecessary because again, I was his mother and he is my child in any condition and I won't be returning him. Turns out he is more than perfect. Infact, he is already reading! He is perfectly healthy and beautiful. You see, I am lucky and blessed to have him. He will no doubt be a greater soul than me. I am humbled to have such an amazing child. I am excited to see how he will help others and make his way in life. I hope I can have at least one more. At my age, I am mature and patient. I know what is important. My child will have me until he is at least in his 30s. Some of my grandparents lived into 80s and 90s. I am at least a 3rd generation child whose mother had children in her 40s, all healthy, talented and smart. There is a pattern to this and it is happening all over the world. There must be a reason why. Perhaps, the huge decline in fertility has something to do with it. I do wish I could have started a decade ago, but life did not work out that way and we have a lot of love to give....
