Quatri�me de couverture :

I am sitting in the toilet at work. Outside the cubicle two girls are talking loudly about a gig they had been to the night before.

'Amazing wasn't it?'

'Yeah - but it was ruined by this old couple in front of us snogging all night.'

'How old?'

'God - really old. About 35.'

'That's disgusting...'

I try not to cry. I am 42 years old and have just found out that I am pregnant. I am apparently too old to kiss in public - but not too old to have a baby.'

So begins Cari Rosen's journey into motherhood at the ripe old age of 42.

As a successful TV producer, the transition from career woman to inexperienced parent is filled with potential obstacles. As for any first-time mum, this journey is a rollercoaster ride of exhiliration, anxiety and serious sleep deprivation. But how will she cope with her 'geriatric' status and ancient ovaries, plus the discovery that she is old enough to be the mother of everyone else in her NCT group?

This insightful and hilarious true story of one woman, one new baby, a slipped disc and rather too many wrinkles reveals the true nature of being a modern middle-aged mum and why some things are worth the wait.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Whatever your age, becoming a mum for the first time brings with it excitement, anxiety and numerous challenges. But how do you cope when, to top it all, you discover you are old enough to be the mother of everyone else in your NCT group? The story of one woman, one new baby, a slipped disc and rather too many wrinkles, The Secret Diary of a New Mum (Aged 43 1/4) follows the tale of a midlife mum as she tries to make the transition from experienced TV producer to utterly inexperienced parent.

One in five babies is born to a mum over 35, and the number of over 40s giving birth has doubled. The first humorous narrative account of what it's really like to be a midlife mum - whether it's deftly side-stepping any questions about age and baby number two or weeping as younger counterparts ping back into their size ten jeans within thirty seconds of giving birth - this is the thoroughly entertaining, insightful and often hilarious account of what happens as you face up to menopause and new motherhood at the same time.
