However in 2010 aged 41, Karen began a new relationship & they decided to have a baby. How hard would it be for her to conceive in her 40s? Would pregnancy & birth be different in the 2010s, some 20 years since her eldest was born? Thoughts of a New Old Mum follows Karen's journey from trying to get pregnant through the pregnancy & birth of their son & his 1st year. How had things changed since her experiences in the 1990s? Would she find it hard being an older mum? How would her other children react to their much younger sibling? This book covers a huge change in Karen's life. As she enters 2013, another happy event is just around the corner... The book is written in a friendly, chatty style which anyone who has a child will relate to. This is an open & honest account of the joys & love, worries & stresses, the explosive nappies & sleep-deprived nights of motherhood.
