Good for her, if it is what made her happy.

Obviously there will be concerns about her age or some people calling her selfish etc, but it is her choice and business.

OK don't see the big deal. The points like "oh the child might be motherless before they're 20" are kinda immaterial since death is immeasurable and unpredictable.

fair play to her,they obviously really want a child,hope all goes well for them.

Who made those points?

I think Shaun was referring more to the generic responses people have to stories about women getting pregnant in later life rather than anything anyone said in this particular thread, because those are generally the sorts of comments people make.

Tbh, I think the general negative view of a woman having a child passed a certain age is more of the risk to carrying the baby. Nothing to do with how old they are as a parent once the baby is born.

That's where the difference between an older father and an older mother is.

Good for her, we're in no position to judge.

She's gonna have to lose all that weight again

It's hilarious because just last night on Shameless, her character was going through menopause..
