Shock birth baby home after 6 wks in hospital

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.

Daughter at 51y was worth it

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.'

48-year-old mom gives birth to baby boy

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.

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.
