Older Mothers: Conception, Pregnancy and Birth After 35

by Karen Thorpe Julia C. Berryman

An investigation of women who chose to have babies after the age of 35. The authors look at the sociological factors as to why birthing patterns are changing so markedly, as well as the pychological experiences of the mothers themselves, before, during and after pregnancy. The book also touches on the different styles of parenting adopted by older mothers and considers the pros and cons for the children.
