My grandmother had her last child at 45 - in the 1940's. My uncle, who was that last child, complained for years that he had an "old" mother. But he was also the pampered family baby: the only one out of 6 who went to private school and had his college paid for. AND my grandmother lived to see him marry and have children of his own.
There are ups and downs with any parents. Age is just one factor out of many.

I personally know of at least 3 people who have gotten pregnant in their mid to late 40's. My husband has a friend whose wife is now expecting her first baby in September. After 1 miscarriage she got pregnant again for the 2nd time in decades and she's your age (44 years old), her husband is 50.
I've heard many other stories that prove that you're as pregnant as you believe you will be. As long as you believe it will happen for you, consider it done. It's only a matter of time.

And by the way, two women at my midwife's office, one 45 and another 46 had IVF babies, so there are enough clinics that work with women in this age group. There are many women giving birth at age 45 and even later.

I was pregnant this year at the ripe old age of 45. We miscarried, but still, I got pregnant without help, and we weren't even trying.
