    I once delivered a baby to a 45 year old woman having her first baby, conceived naturally as far as I can remember.

    Its lovely to hear success stories and I hope it happens for you too.

    Good Luck :)

    My cousin was 38 when she met her husband. She had her first baby at 41, her 2nd baby at 43 and her 3rd - yes, her 3rd!!! - at 44. All conceived naturally, and all happy and healthy, thank God!
    Best of luck to you!

    Most ladies who have babies past 40 will have had other children already.

    Just got news that a friend of mine (40) gave birth yesterday to a fine and healthy baby boy (9lbs 10!) after 8 years of trying and losing. So, so thrilled for her and her husband, that baby is a very lucky boy to have such lovely and determined parents.
    Good luck to all trying, hope 2011 will be your year.
