At 66, the decision to become a mother was one of the most unconventional choices a woman could make. But for this mother, it was also a deeply personal one—one that would forever change her life and bring her both joy and heartbreak in equal measure.
Her name is Jennifer, and her journey to motherhood wasn’t one that followed any typical timeline. After decades of focusing on her career, and then coping with personal loss and societal expectations, Jennifer found herself in a place where she realized she longed for the connection only a child could bring. So, she took the leap, underwent IVF treatment, and became pregnant with her first child at the age of 66.
