Dusty Births

I was very excited to see a trailer on the tellybox last night for a programme about old Mums. Very old Mums. Mums that are in fact so old that they look like someone has discovered a way to allow babies to suckle on corpses.

The trailer first drops the bombshell that across the globe, "women as old as seventy are giving birth..." and then raises the question upon which I suspect the documentary hinges: can you be too old to be a Mum?

I'm no expert of course, but I would suggest that if the baby is being delivered on an episode of 'Time Team', then yes you might just be.
