Patricia Rashbrook is a child psychiatrist who became a mother at the age of 62 with the help of her second husband.
Patricia faced difficulties conceiving naturally, so she sought help from an Italian expert known for unconventional methods.
In a society where options for women over 40 to have children naturally are limited, Patricia and her husband found a solution outside of the usual norms.
However, when they returned to the UK, Patricia kept her pregnancy hidden because she was afraid of how society would judge her.
In 2006, at the age of sixty-two, Patricia defied expectations and gave birth to a healthy son named JJ, who is now 17 years old. His perspective adds an interesting layer to the story, showing the unconventional path Patricia took to become a mother.
Patricia’s journey was filled with secrecy and concerns from society, but it ultimately led her to embrace motherhood later in life.
