More and more women are giving birth in their forties, and for some it will be their first baby. What was unusual is now becoming quite common, yet little has been written on this dramatic shift. This book tells all and is the result of honest and revealing interviews. The book covers a range of topics, including: the trend to late parenthood; how do you decide?; how easy is it?; the risks and differences with late motherhood; combatting age prejudice; getting life back on track; having another baby; fathers over 40; and the benefits and delights.
