If they are happy then congrats are in order. Don't overdo it though as after 35, there are increased complications. Just be happy for them and let nature do its thing, IMO.
Huh. I wonder if this was natural, or not...seems pretty hard to get pregnant at that age, without intervention.
My issue with a pregnancy at that age, how old are her parents? Anyone had the joy of taking care of elderly people and toddlers at the same time? Two people, who run at completely different speeds. It is enough to drive a person to insanity. And they both need help changing their pants...
At my age, I want to enjoy small children from a distance, or in small doses, and give them back to whoever owns them.
our neighbor is pregnant again at 52 her hubby is 49 and they have a 10 yr old ...what would you all say to that . she told me yesterday she found out she is two months pregnant . she is happy and so is the husband .
I would say
"congratulations, I'm so happy for you".
That seems like the proper way to act.
I hope they are healthy and wealthy. I hope they also screen it to the best of their ability for any defects as that seems to be getting into risky territory. This is all for the baby's sake. I think it's a bit irresponsible for the parents otherwise, but I don't know their position in life.
There is probably a 99.99999% chance that this pregnancy resulted from IVF using donor eggs (eggs coming from a young woman in her 20s). The chances of getting pregnant at 52 with one's own eggs are almost none. Thus, the "defects" that may result from an older egg are probably not an issue.
I don't think it is as impossible to get pregnant on your own as someone above stated. My grandmother had my mom in her early 50's. I was pregnany at 46 (lost the baby). Poeple can get pregnant that late but they have a much higher rate of something not going right, often miscarriage.
Agree. Getting pregnant is much easier than keeping the baby. Everyone I known has lost a baby at some point. And they were all in their 30s or late 20s. Grandmother had 2 kids in her early and late 40s
