Woman, 67, to be oldest mum yet! [shock]

[JoolsToo]

anyone have any views on this?

doesn't sit well with me I'm afraid!

story

[JanH]

Nope, me neither, it's mad and they shouldn't be given this treatment.

[nailpolish]

"conceived naturally"

well they do say love is blind, bless her

i dont really know if i believe it or not actually

[hunkermunker]

I'm usually very tolerant, live and let live and all that, but this is wrong.

[cellogirl]

Can you imagine being 70 and running after a 3 year old.

No thank you

[FLUM]

mmmm, me neither, bit selfish knowingly having baby and knowing that as soon as they are adult they will end up looking after you or else will already be without a mother.

hope they are rich, give the kid a chance at least

[JanH]

It wasn't IVF, it was water from her well . Of course.

[biglips]

OMG. it getting worse and worse about these ald pensioners have a baba.. i cant imagine my nan having a baba. no!no!no!.. i dont agree with it at all as not fair on child as she is getting on as nearly 70!!!

[Gobbledigook]

OMG.

[suedonim]

Rather her than me!

[JoolsToo]

one has to question the doctors surely?

[expatinscotland]

She was 67 and still ovulating viable eggs? Whoa.

[JoolsToo]

can't believe it I'm afraid!

[cellogirl]

I cant belive you lot are doubting the power of the magic wishing well. Cynics.

[lunavix]

Umm

ewww, basically.

[Blu]

Ok, I'm certainly not advocating 67, well water or not, but what do you think is the limit?

Within the span of natural childbearing age?

[Rachee]

i am sorry , but a temination would be sensible or adoption. This child will not have a mother at 20 !! Can you imagine, i couldn't be without mine and i am in my 30's.
Put it up for adoption, give it a chance for a long time family....

[lunavix]

I don't think you should be a parent in your 60s. Dads or mums.
Tbh I think in your 50s is dependent on how active you are.

(runs and hides)

[Fio2]

gosh my MIL is 69 now and she reads me the obituries every time I ring her

[SenoraPostrophe]

I think it depends on lifestyle too.

I must say she doesn't look like a woman who has a couple of grand spare or IVF.

[SenoraPostrophe]

lots of people don't have a mother at 20 though.

[Rachee]

i know that, truely, and i don't mean to be cruel, .... my mother lost her mother before 20 and i have had to grow up with a mother that doesn't truely understand some of the parenting things..... like when to let go, how to develope the relationship to adults, etc.

So , i stand by what i say, a child (if possible) needs to have a mother. It is best.

[FLUM]

in all fairness she is probably starting menopause and thinks she is pregnant. perhaps having a bit of an elderly moment too. my mum is 60 and gets them all the time.

[hana]

she isnt - false signs (story updated)

[JanH]

It's a phantom according to this.

Awww. Sad now! Poor old stick!

[Tinker]

That is quite sad now.
