FlowerPowerMom.com today announces the upcoming launch of INFORMED CHOICES FOR LATER MOTHERS: What Women Should Know About Fertility, Birth and Parenting After 40, with the release of a 2-minute film trailer revealing key highlights. To view, visit FlowerPowerMom.com. It’s the first multidisciplinary panel of doctors and experts to speak candidly on the controversy surrounding later [...]
“Nothing—not a sports car, not a genius dye job—says ‘I’m young’ like a baby on your hip,” wrote Lisa Miller, the journalist who interviewed me—along with a host of pundits—about motherhood after 50. Since when do any of us view a baby as an accessory? Reading the first half of this piece, I began to [...]
It took several years to get close to the ubiquitous driving force behind three of the most important blog sites for women over 40 hoping to conceive, but what—or rather whom—I discovered was, indeed, worth the wait. Catherine McDiarmid-Watt, a 57-year-old Canadian, is the last person you’d expect to advocate for midlife motherhood. Far from [...]
It’s a Mother of an evolution! Join us as we launch the first online community dedicated to women having children after 40—A CHILD AFTER 40. When you find yourself surrounded by young “yummy mummies” or Stepford moms under 35—in the prenatal clinic or on the playground—you’ve now got a place to hang your bell bottoms [...]
In search of support for A Child After 40–the campaign to empower women on the journey of midlife motherhood–I found an opinion piece published in the LA Times on 31st March, 2011, entitled “Debate: Are children better off with older mothers?”. (See link below.) It brought home how much the world at large really doesn’t [...]
It’s a mother of an evolution—launching Mothers’ Day 2011.

On May 8th, we invite all women who have become mothers after 40—along with those who [...]
Last month, the announcement that Kristine Casey gave birth to her own grandson at 61 had media headlines flashing like neon in the red light district. But what about the grandmas who are in it for the long run? Sylvia Butler—a Special Education teacher from Greene County, Tennessee, who spent most of her childhood in [...]
It appears that social bias regarding a woman giving birth later in life is based on whether she’s the grandma or the mom. When 61 year old Illinois resident, Kristine Casey, gave birth to her own grandson a few days ago, “there was not a dry eye in the crowded operating room,” doctors said. (Deborah [...]
A newlywed at 40, Sharon Simons never imagined the thorny path to motherhood would lead her to the Arctic reaches of Dr. Zhivago’s Siberia. Who would willingly go there, in any case? Like the Eagles’ Hotel California, it’s infamous for being a sinister place where few ever leave. Ultimately, however, the journey would lead her [...]
Diane Hartford-Shulert—a midlife mother from Michigan who will turn 45 on Valentine’s Day—is living proof that what doesn’t kill you will make you strong. In fact, her story is so rife with seemingly insuperable challenges that it reads like the opening scene to The Princess Bride (1987 film): “Are you kidding? Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Revenge.
