Here’s a wake-up call for anyone who thinks mature women don’t have to think about unwanted pregnancies.
Half of the pregnancies among women over 40 are unintended and 65 per cent result in abortion, said Kelty Moser, executive director of the Pictou County Centre for Sexual Health in New Glasgow.
Rising divorce rates mean more women in mid-life are encountering new sexual partners than in the past, and they aren’t accustomed to using condoms because the practice wasn’t taught when they went to school more than 20 years ago, Ms. Moser said.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
