Change of Life Babies: Do They Really?
Why are more and more women today opting to become mothers in their forties, and even as late as fifty?
What are the risks and what are the benefits?
Read on for some questions, some conceived in ignorance and others from semi-intelligent observation.
Psychologically speaking (through the eyes of a non-psychologist), there is always going to be someone who will tell the older mother
she is crazy to consider having a baby later in life.
Ultimately, however, it is only the mother-to-be who has to make the choice and answer for it.
The desire to be a mother is no different at forty-five than at twenty-five.
And why shouldn't it be fulfilled, as long as the mother can provide for the child, and give it what it needs to grow up to be a responsible adult?
And so to those who ask why, you should say: Because.
To those who ask how, you should reply: the usual way.
And like the true color of one's hair and size of one's bank account, whose business and life is it anyway?

TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
| Inconceivable |
by Julia Indichova
-- A memoir of hope for the thousands of women struggling with infertility, from one who beat the odds by simply tuning in to her body and tapping her well of sheer determination.
At a time when more and more women are trying to get pregnant at increasingly advanced ages, fertility specialists and homeopathic researchers boast endless treatment options.
But when Julia Indichova made the rounds of medical doctors and nontraditional healers, she was still unable to conceive a child.
It was only when she forsook their financially and emotionally draining advice, turning inward instead, that she finally met with reproductive success. Inconceivable recounts this journey from hopeless diagnoses to elated motherhood.
Anyone who has faced infertility will relate to Julia's desperate measures: acupuncture, unidentifiable black-and-white pellets, herb soup, foul-smelling fruit, even making love on red sheets.
Five reproductive endocrinologists told her that there was no documented case of anyone in her hormonal condition getting pregnant, forcing her to finally embark on her own intuitive regimen.
After eight caffeine-free, nutrient-rich, yoga-laden months, complemented by visualization exercises, Julia received amazing news; incredibly, she was pregnant.
Nine months later she gave birth to a healthy girl.
