077. Shirley is a mother of three in California who was pregnant at 20, 47 and 49. At 20, she lived with her parents, and her mother was very abusive. It was very traumatic how she got pregnant and moved out immediately. Her 32-year-old son saved her life. Shirley started dating her wife 12 years ago, and they talked about starting a family five years into their relationship. The doctor said her wife’s egg reserve at 36 was very low. Shirley told the clinic she planned to carry the baby using her wife’s eggs. The doctor said based on Shirley’s age, they only had a 50% chance. Shirley and her wife were willing to try with those odds. Join us as Shirley shares how she beat every odd with her two daughters.
