Who knows what balance of outlook and hormones makes us think that having a baby over the age of 40 is a good idea, but Sophie Morris is not alone
The last thing I expected to feel as I approach my mid-forties is broody. For years, like many of my friends, I’ve been happily. I’ve celebrated the passing of countless child-rearing horizons, from going nappy-free to buggy-free to being able to leave the house without a survivalist’s kit of wipes and toys and snacks, and clean pants. I’ve looked forward to the free time, nights out and unbroken sleep that older children permit. And yet.
There were twice as many births to women over the age of 40 as there were to teenage mothers, while the number of women over 40 giving birth doubled in the 20 years from 2001 to 2021, from 8.8 live births per 1,000 women to 15.9. In London, midwives are receiving training on the increasing number of women over 40 giving birth – the proportion has risen to 50 per cent..
Is there any truth in the idea women can experience surges of fertility during perimenopause? The broody menopause that I am experiencing? “There’s no good evidence,” says Dr Newson, founder of Newson Health. “But no one does proper research into menopause. As people start HRT, they often become more fertile, and we’ve had a few pregnancies with clients. The first time it happened our admin staff were really worried, but the patient was delighted”.
“We’re living longer and we’re staying healthier longer,” agrees aesthetic physician Dr Shirin Lakhani, “and with all the options available such asand freezing embryos, we will see more mothers later in life. But falling pregnant naturally is not going to become the norm.”
