Publisher's Synopsis
More women than ever before are having babies "later in life" - in their late thirties and forties. This book examines the problems and advantages of late motherhood, dealing with the practical, emotional and medical aspects. From problems with conception to returning to work after the birth, it explores the range of decisions which have to be made, and the options available. It also looks beyond the problems of child-care, to consider how older mothers also cope with school-age children and teenagers.
