Almost 50 and I Want to Get Pregnant

As I checked out a tall, slim man in his thirties with salt and pepper hair at a Greenwich Village party, a lady astrologist a couple of years older than moi looked my way and said, "When we get to this age, we lose interest in men." I assume she believed I would agree with her reading of the situation, but I, a divorced, almost forty-nine-year old Jewish female from New York City, still have a seventy-year-old aunt who dates. I also contemplated how we women "peak" sexually in our forties, but I am one year away from, gulp, fifty. And the thing is, I want to be pregnant again. I already have an amazing twenty-three-year-old son, but I want a repeat performance.

Yes; even as most women my age throw in the hormonal towel, I find myself looking at guys much the way Samantha would in Sex In The City, sizing up men between 25 and 45 at the supermarket, the mall, the ballgame. Only I’m not looking for potential lovers, I’m looking for a baby daddy. Blue eyes or brown, balding or Kennedy-esque — I try to gaze right through their skin to see their very DNA.

My friends think I am off my rocker, that I should enjoy the empty nest and not make a syndrome out of it. They’re in the been-there/done-that phase, and those still interested in men go for the immediate gratification relationships and have no desire for long-term proposals. Not one friend will admit that maybe my pregnancy desires might be something she feels, too.

Scotlands oldest mum: I’ve always wanted children

Juliet Le Page became Scotland’s oldest mother when she gave birth at 50. Having settled down with her husband Richard , who is ten years her junior, Juliet has always been determined to have children.

“I was quite a determined person, I’d met my husband and thought ' I really want to have a family with this man' ,” Juliet said. “I was pretty sure I wasn’t able to conceive naturally so it had to be some form of assisted conception.”

Due to her age, In Vitro Fertilisation or IVF as it is more commonly known was not a suitable option for Juliet; she then considered fertility treatment using a donor egg.
