40 and ...Knocked Up

For women who are finished having children, it can be a dramatic shock to learn that you're pregnant-and forty something.

More than half of these pregnancies are unintended and are a result of birth control gone wrong. Many women play the odds instead of planning. There are women that thinks that because they are older, they are less fertile-which is true, yet it doesn't mean it's impossible for them to conceive.

If a you know that you are done having children and you are struggling finding the right birth control options that fits your lifestyle, you might want to consider speaking with your doctor about more permanent contraceptives.

If you are indeed looking for a forget-about-it form of birth control, an intrauterine device or the tubal ligation is a good option. Whatever your choice, it is important for women over 40 to be aware that pregnancies can occur, and that there are plenty of options out there to fit any mom's busy lifestyle.
