OLDER women who delayed having children and are now playing "catch-up" have helped Australia's fertility rate recover to a record level last year.
More women aged in their 30's and 40's are now having babies, helping produce a record 285,254 registered births in 2007.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
