Mum-of-two’s panic when she found out the ‘impossible’ news that she was pregnant at 44

At the age of 44, Australian mum Sarah Leavasa started experiencing what she thought were early signs of menopause.

The mum-of-two, from Victoria, called her mother for advice after experiencing hot and cold flushes, bloating and terribly insomnia.

Sarah told Daily Mail Australia her mum encouraged her to visit a GP ‘just in case’ anything was wrong.

‘I’m someone who doesn’t like going to the doctor and thought I might just have the flu, so I waited but the symptoms didn’t go away,’ she said.

Sarah, now 47, delayed seeing the doctor for eight weeks who then confirmed she was pregnant through a blood test and urine sample – leaving her completely shocked.
