Woman who struggled with infertility and failed IVF for years has baby at age of 50

A woman who thought she had started the menopause and would never have children beat the odds to have a baby at 50.

Loving mum Christine Boama celebrated her daughter Precious’s first birthday on Wednesday – after years of infertility struggles and failed IVF.

The marketing entrepreneur, from Chorley, Lancs, explained: “I grew up with a huge family. My mum is one of nine and one of my auntie has six ­daughters. Surrounded by the loving hubbub I’d think, ‘This is what I want when I’m older’. I was healthy, and I knew I’d be a good mum. All I needed was to meet Mr Right.”
