A menopause baby is conceived and delivered by a mother who is technically going through ‘perimenopause’ – the transition period before the ovaries eventually stop releasing eggs (menopause). For most women, perimenopause starts in their 40s, although for some it can be as early as their 30s or later in their 50s, and it usually lasts for a year or two.
During this time the woman will experience irregular periods, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, irritability, trouble sleeping and low sex drive; due to the hormonal changes such as the ovaries producing less oestrogen.
