Suan Bailey, a 53-year-old office manager from Singapore, is embracing motherhood after giving birth to her son Remy in 2023. While she initially felt upset by surprised looks and comments about her age, she now proudly shares her story of overcoming challenges and anxieties to have a child.
That is the question Singapore an Suan Bailey, 53, often gets whenever she goes out with her 10-month-old son.
This number rose more than five times between 2010 and 2019, when 33 women in this age group gave birth to 41 babies.“But it did not happen naturally,” said Mr Bailey, 63, who is from New Zealand. “My late mother also did not approve of getting a baby through IVF, so I gave up the idea of having children then.”
“She told me how good he was, and almost immediately, we flew there in 2022 after making an appointment,” Mrs Bailey said. “The doctor was very meticulous, down to which batch the first embryo came from, before ‘defrosting’ and implanting it into my womb.” “The doctor in Thailand gave me the name of a gynaecologist who specialises in older expectant mothers and told me that he would be taking care of me during my pregnancy,” she said, adding that the care she received as an older expectant mother in Singapore “was remarkable”.
