A Gold Coast woman has become what is believed to be Australia's oldest natural first-time mother, giving birth at 50.

Anthea Nicholas and her husband Paul Byrnes, 54, had a "one in several million" chance of falling pregnant, Ms Nicholas' doctor told the Australian Women's Weekly.

Ms Nicholas, a semi-retired real estate agent, told the Women's Weekly she was alarmed when she first discovered she was pregnant.

Sixty one-year-old to be mother again

6:00 AM

No comments

Trying to fill an aching vacuum after the death of their only son, an elderly couple has achieved the miraculous feat of conceiving a child at the ripe age of 60 plus.

Retired headmistress of a school at Anandpur town in Keonjhar district, Kanakalata Ram, and husband Sarat Chandra Singh, ex-employee of the district transport department, have conceived again after the death of their son Tarini Prasad in a tragic accident in 2010.

Dr Prabhat Nalini Mohanty, who has been treating 61-year-old Kanakalata, now at an advanced stage of pregnancy, said the husband had no problem because his sperm counts were good. The doctors restored Kanakalata's menstrual cycle with the help of medicines but the couple had to take help of a donor's eggs. "Kanakalata is five months pregnant after an invitro fertilisation," Dr Mohanty said.

‘Midlife moms’ seek more respect from society

6:00 AM

No comments

That mature lady sitting on the playground bench beaming at her toddler may have some gray hair, but don’t call her “grandma.” She may well be a member of America’s fastest-growing fertility group: mothers 40 and older.

And if she is one of these “midlife moms,” she would appreciate a little more respect.

No observer, for instance, can know what Kelli Suchy and her husband went through to become parents.

“It wasn’t a choice on my part” to marry at 39, endure six in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, lose two pregnancies, and then finally adopt at age 45, said Mrs. Suchy, founder of parentingbyadoption.com.

Angel La Liberte, who entered “babyland” when she was 41 and again at age 44, created FlowerPowerMom.com to “tell the truth about motherhood after 40.”

This Mother's Day, Mrs. La Liberte and others are launching an online campaign to build support for older mothers and jettison phrases such as “advanced maternal age” and “geriatric pregnancy.”

Will Zsa Zsa Gabor Welcome Baby No. 2 At 94

Ailing actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, 94, and husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt could be expecting a baby soon!

It may require the help of an egg donor, artificial insemination, and a surrogate mother, but von Anhalt tells CNN that the procedure is already underway.

"I've gone through the initial steps of donor matching and blood work and next week the donation process will begin," says von Anhalt.

A WOMAN is desperately seeking a donor so she can become an IVF mum at 51.

Despite medical risks - and the prospect of having teenagers in her late 60s - Meagan Callaghan, who will be 51 in June, is advertising for donor eggs.

"Life passes by so quickly, one minute you are 20 and the next you are 50," she said yesterday.

"This is my last chance and I'm not going to give up on it.

"I have always wanted to be a mum, but it just hasn't happened."

Ms Callaghan's doctor, Prof Michael Chapman from IVF Australia, said his clinic treated women up to 51.

Oldest new mother gives birth at 63

A 63-year-old Dutch woman has given birth, becoming the oldest new mother in the Netherlands, the hospital and news reports say.

"Baby Meagan was born at the Medical Centre Leeuwarden at 9.48am [7.48pm AEDT] on March 21," a statement on the website of the hospital in the northern Dutch province of Friesland said on Monday.

"Meagan is the daughter of Tineke Geessink, a 63-year-old woman from Harlingen."

The girl was born with the aid of caesarean section, the statement said. "Both mother and daughter are fine."

Dutch media reports said Ms Geessink was the oldest Dutch woman to become a mother.

"It is a feeling that I have had for so long [to have a child]," the woman told Dutch public radio NOS.

"At some point there was something inside me saying: 'It's now or never', and I decided to try everything possible to see if it is still possible."

NOS said the woman fell pregnant through a foreign sperm donor as Dutch fertility doctors would not help her due to her age.

"There is no guarantee that if you have a child at a young age you will see your child grow up," Ms Geessink, a single mother, told the radio.

"Of course, the risk with me is bigger. And whether the child will find it nice to have such an old mother ... I hope that she loves me so much that she will just be glad to have me."

In India, giving birth at 50+ is not uncommon

Seen from a distance there seems to be nothing special about the family in a village in Haryana in northern India. A shy young girl hides behind her mother. But from closer up, you suddenly notice the woman’s wrinkles, and the grey hair under her headscarf.

Rajo Devi Logan, who in late 2008 suddenly became famous as the "oldest mother in the world," proudly stands up and breaks into a broad smile as she talks about her daughter.

"I'm so happy with my daughter! Before she was born, I didn’t feel attached to anything. The neighbours used to talk about us with pity."

Rajo Devi doesn’t like to go back to the period in which she and her husband, Balla Ram, had no children. Like many people in rural India she doesn’t know exactly how old she is, but Rajo Devi is at least 70 years old. Her husband is 80, he says. Two and a half years ago, their daughter Naveen was born, at least 58 years after the couple married.

Single mother, 58, gives birth to IVF twins

6:00 AM

No comments

Three weeks have passed since Carole Hobson brought her IVF twins home from hospital and it’s clear her once ordered life as a mature, single career woman has been completely turned on its head.

A sky-high pile of freshly-washed babygros, bedding and towels sits on the dining table and the ironing board stands permanently in the living room. With the volume of washing, there is obviously little point in putting it away.

She tries to snatch a quick toasted cheese sandwich while son Matthew and daughter Freida sleep upstairs, but manages only a mouthful before the babies start crying in unison.

‘As you can hear, they both have a lusty set of lungs,’ she smiles, padding upstairs to lift Freida gently from her cot while replacing Matthew’s dummy.

Carole is averaging just two or three hours of sleep a night and admits to feeling completely exhausted at times with the relentless routine of feeding, burping, changing, washing and sterilising bottles. After all, she does not have a partner to share the strain.

And at 58, she is embarking on first-time motherhood at an age when most women are looking forward to retirement, grandchildren, holidays and a spot of gentle gardening.

Britains Oldest Mums

PAMELA Butler may be the UK’s oldest surrogate mum but she’s not the first to help out a daughter.

Cases of daughters asking their mums to become surrogates are rare, but in 2001 Vivien Morris, 54, gave birth to her own grand-daughter.

Her daughter Laura Westrop, 29, was unable to carry a baby after treatment for cervical cancer. So Vivien, a playgroup worker from London, volunteered to help Laura and her husband Mark.

In 2005, 53-year-old Annie Casserley gave birth for her daughter Emma Hattersley, who was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of cancer when she was 19, and son-in-law Andrew.

Liz Buttle, from near Lampeter in West Wales, became the UK’s oldest mum at 60 when she gave birth to a son called Joseph in 1997. She now lives in Ireland.

Elizabeth Adeney of Lidgate, Suffolk, is Britain’s oldest mum after giving birth to a boy in May 2009, aged 66.

THIS six-month-old bundle of joy is the most wonderful gift Pamela Butler could have ever given her daughter.

His name is Josef and, while 57-year-old Pamela has entered the record books by giving birth to the blue-eyed boy, he will always know her as Gran.

She carried him in her own womb for her daughter and son-in-law Nichola and Mathew Pagett after her daughter discovered she was unable to carry a baby.

And this overwhelming gesture of love makes her the oldest known surrogate mum in Britain today.

Pamela, from Blackwood, said: “I wanted to help Nichola more than anything – it was the greatest gift I could give her.”

Saroj Naik's world collapsed in 2009 when her gynaecologist told her that she was menopausal and could never conceive. Although she had already had four miscarriages, 51-year-old Saroj and her husband Satyawan, 54, who reside at Merces, never lost hope and prayed for the gift of a child.

Their prayers seemed to have been answered when, through the method of in-vitro fertilization (IVF), Saroj was able to conceive again. The couple's elation knew no bounds when she ultimately gave birth to a healthy baby girl on February 10. Their joy doubled when they were informed that Saroj was the oldest woman in the state to have had a successful post-menopausal delivery with the help of IVF.

"Now, our days are filled with joy and happiness. Our day starts and ends with the hearty laughter of our little girl Saili," a proud Saroj said.

A baby born 10 weeks premature after his mother was told by doctors she was suffering from the early menopause has come home from hospital.

Matthew Arora was born on Christmas day 2010 after his mother, Anita Arora, 46, was rushed to hospital two days earlier after she found out she was pregnant.

After weeks of hospital care, he finally arrived in his family’s Southfields home on February 17 to live with his mum, dad, and two siblings for the first time and is progressing well.

Mrs Arora said: “It is very nice to finally have the whole family at home, and he is getting on very well with his brother and sister."

The Wandsworth Guardian revealed earlier this year how Mrs Arora claimed she was told on numerous occasions she was not pregnant by her GPs, with them diagnosing her with the early menopause.

It took 34 years, £50,000, miscarriages, five rounds of IVF and a surrogate - but my daughter Bonnie was worth it

Devoted mother Kim Parsons is proof childless couples should never give up hope.

The 53-year-old spent 34 years and £50,000 trying to fall pregnant but is now mother to a happy two-year-old.

Kim had longed for a baby ever since she was 18, but she tragically suffered a string of miscarriages, followed by five unsuccessful rounds of IVF.

But Kim and her husband David, from Kings Lynn, Norfolk, were determined to be parents and finally chose to use a surrogate, who gave birth to their daughter Bonnie in September 2008.

Kim, from Kings Lynn, Norfolk, said: 'I can't thank her enough - she has completely transformed our life.

'I'll never forget the first time I held my daughter. She was gorgeous, with blonde hair and huge blue eyes, so we decided Bonnie would be a good name for her.

'All those years of heartache and longing just faded away when I looked at her.

'I don't see a long and lonely future for myself and Dave anymore, just one where we raise our baby together, and that's all because of our surrogate.'

Lori Riner is a mom again — at age 48. The Sparta woman gave birth Friday to a boy and became the oldest woman to deliver at Franciscan Skemp Medical Center without the aid of fertility treatment.

Lori’s 12-year-old granddaughter named the baby Tucker.

At first, Lori thought she was going through menopause. But, she said, “menopause doesn’t kick.”

She asked her husband, Sonny, to sit down when she broke the news about the pregnancy.

“Of course, I was shocked,” Sonny said. “But I was happy. Most couples would be devastated, but we were not devastated.”

The couple has been married four years and have children from previous marriages in their 20s and 30s, in addition to their granddaughter.

Woman, 61, gives birth to her own grandchild

Almost 39 weeks ago, Kristine Casey set out on an unusual journey to help her daughter and answer a spiritual calling.

Her goal was achieved when she gave birth to her own grandson at age 61.

Casey, possibly the oldest woman to give birth in Illinois, was a surrogate for her daughter, Sara Connell, who had been trying for years to have a baby. Connell and her husband, Bill, are the biological parents of the child Casey carried, which grew from an embryo created from the Chicago couple’s egg and sperm.

Crying and praying, Connell and her mother held hands as Finnean Lee Connell was delivered by Caesarean section at 9:47 p.m. Wednesday.

It is just menopause - Mother at 46

A mother gave birth to a baby boy after doctors repeatedly assured her she was going through the menopause.

Anita Arora, 46, said the child almost died in her womb after her suspicions that she was pregnant were ignored.

Her son, Matthew, was delivered in a life-saving operation on Christmas Day – just two days after she found out she was expecting.

The infant, who was two months premature, would have died if surgeons had not delivered him immediately because of problems with the placenta.

She said: ‘I told them five months ago I thought I was pregnant. My periods had stopped and I was gaining weight. I asked whether it was possible, but they told me not to worry, it was just my age.’

Mrs Arora, a post office manager, and her driving instructor husband Kanti, 48, already have two children – Neil, 15, and Kamya, 13.
