More women than ever are choosing to postpone having children until later in life, to fit in with other demands on their lives and careers. But are there drawbacks? What are the risks of late motherhood? How successful is parenthood for the older mother, her family and the child? What are the chances of her succeeding in having a healthy pregnancy and normal labour? What are the risks of having an abnormal baby?

This book answers these questions and many others, taking the reader through fertility and conception, pregnancy, antenatal screening, the birth and early parenthood. Drawing on the research it also contains advice on adoption, miscarriage, hormonal problems, natural birth, breast feeding, sex and relationships.
