How old is too old to become a mum?

I know certain things aren't going to be a possibility for me

Sue Tollefson

Julia Peyton-Jones has been making headlines this week after becoming a mum for the first time at the age of 64 - reigniting the question of how old is too old to have a baby.

We were joined this morning by Sue Tollefson, who gave birth to her daughter Freya at the age of 57.

Although she loves being a mother Sue admitted that she regrets leaving it so late, saying she worries that she won't live long enough to see her daughter graduate, get married and have her own children.

"As the years have gone on I have less years in front of me than I have behind me," she said.

Dr Hilary Jones also joined us to talk about the risks involved with having children in your 50s and 60s.
