Pregnant at 53: when your child’s grandparents aren’t the ones you expect

An as-told-to BI feature about a London-based nutritionist who gave birth to her son at 53 with her husband, after IVF and years of miscarriages; they constantly face being mistaken for grandparents, share the emotional toll and the decision to shield their son from potential bullying, and describe how they balance work and parenting with an organic diet, bone broth, supplements, pilates, and a babysitter since grandparents aren’t available; they hope to stay healthy to be there for him long-term.
