BBC Radio Humberside - Sex, Drugs & Lullabies, S2 EP10 Are you ever too old to have a baby?

Veteran BBC news presenter Harry Gration was 68 when Hamilton was born & Helen was 51.

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 “too old”.

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 “Some members of our family weren’t keen on it; they thought I was too old.” “It doesn’t worry me that some of them don’t approve, that some of them almost don’t mention him at times which is a little bit strange because I wouldn’t do that the other way round.” 

"Don’t judge that I’ve become a mum again at the age of 50. It doesn’t matter. This little chap is experiencing everything a baby should and a hell of a lot more. Love us for wanting to do this.”
