    About this ebook

  • Serves as the much-needed antidote to the negative hype in the mainstream surrounding later motherhood.

  • The first book written on this topic from the point of view of mature mothers, not a medical expert.

  • Bettina has been published by national and international media (Huffington Post, NEWS magazine, FIRST, etc.) for well over 20 years and penned the popular column New York Wildlife in Germany and Austria.

  • Contains real-life stories and advice from 40 women over 40 who rocked their natural pregnancies and birthed healthy children.

  • Busts the myth that age is the biggest hurdle to pregnancy or that women who wait to start their families are career-focused self-absorbed ladies.

  • Targets an ever growing demographic: In 1970, just 1% of first children were born to women over the age of 35. By 2012, this number had shot up to 15% and it continues to climb. The number of couples giving birth to their first child between the ages of 35 to 44 rose to 40 percent by 2010.

    Bettina Gordon-Wayne

    Bettina Gordon-Wayne is an international journalist and certified mental strength trainer with an über-passion for travel. Originally from Vienna, Austria, she has called America home since 1996. At age 44, she became the third generation of women in her family to have healthy children at an age the mainstream deems “dangerous.” In The Joy of Later Motherhood, Bettina shares the stories and advice of women over 40 who all had natural pregnancies and healthy babies to show other women of “advanced maternal age” what is possible and, in fact, perfectly natural. Bettina currently resides in Washington, DC, and Vienna, Austria, with her husband, Joshua, her wild child, Hunter, and Georgia, the squirrel-chasing Pit Bull mix.
