S2 EP10 Are you ever too old to have a baby?
A fertility consultant told Helen she could have another baby, despite her age, but said she would need an egg donor due to hers being βtoo oldβ.
Amanda White and Natalie Glanvill talk through their struggles tying to conceive and hear from others talking honestly and openly about their fertility challenges in a podcast with both hope and despair in equal measure.
Each week we will chew the fat over everything, this week we talk about age and does it really matter how old you are to become parents?
Harry & Helen experienced some negative comments about having a 3rd child later in life βSome members of our family werenβt keen on it; they thought I was too old.β βIt doesnβt worry me that some of them donβt approve, that some of them almost donβt mention him at times which is a little bit strange because I wouldnβt do that the other way round.β
"Donβt judge that Iβve become a mum again at the age of 50. It doesnβt matter. This little chap is experiencing everything a baby should and a hell of a lot more. Love us for wanting to do this.β
