What happens when you're told you're too old to have children… then find out you're pregnant?

Subscribe to Extraordinary People: http://bit.ly/3HMx79c This film meets parents who were old enough to be grandparents when they took the decision to have children. Medical advances mean more and more people are waiting until they are older to become parents and IVF treatment is giving women a chance to conceive later in life than nature may allow. The programme explores the difficulties these older parents face when trying to conceive and the problems that occur after their children are born. In frank and moving interviews, the parents reveal how much harder it is to cope with giving birth, sleepless nights, toddler tantrums and troublesome teenagers when you're an older parent.
