9. Patrisha Rashbrook (UK), 62 at time of son’s birth
With three children by a previous marriage, Rashbrook knew what it would mean to have another child while in her 60s. But her second husband had no children of his own, and the couple was desperate. On their fifth attempt at fertility treatment, Rashbrook conceived her youngest son. She and her husband have no doubts they will be healthy enough to raise their son, despite being in their 60s.
