Shock at pregnancy of woman, 66 - , - Latest news & weather forecasts - MSN News UK

would you want to be running around after a child when you get to 70?

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

don't think they should be allowed IVF at that age, not fair on the child.:(

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

she went abroad for it cashy

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

This woman is selfish.......and she won't be doing the running, because according to the papers she has hired a live in nanny.
Having a child is not a right.

And as to your original question, the answer is a most emphatic NO.....I would rather eat my own eye balls.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

It doesn't state whether she is married or has a partner does it, or any other children ?

Read an article last week on a 57 year old who did the same, but she had a husband 11 years younger than her, and thought no different to men having babies with much younger women.

However, I am 66 next time ... and 'no way', got used to space now.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Kate she is divorced....and as far as the papers are aware, no man in the picture.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

I wonder what the risks to baby and mother are at that age?
The chances of birth defects must be higher as well.

There is a reason why women stop being able to have children.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

I'm not that old yet, but the grand children I have I like running around with, I can at least hand them back at the end of the day.

The need to reproduce should be left to those with the Hormones, if anyone deserves help it's the potential parents of 'child baring age', not some selfish person that left it too late.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Selfish woman, no I definately would not like to start again.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

And how can this be a 'shock' pregnancy?
She sought out an egg donor and had IVF.....not much shock there unless she was shocked when she received the bill.......and Yahoo News reports that she 'fell' pregnant.......intimating that it was a natural conception.......what a load of rubbish.

The titty bottles might be a bit dusty,

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

shock to the people who know her maybe?

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

lol not heard anyone call one that in years Gary

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

she says she isn't concerned about what other people may think.........and those who really know her will, I am sure have been in the 'know' well before now.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

hey Marg, dont shoot the messenger

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

NO, I'm not Flashy, but these silly women get on my mammaries.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

The Menopause happens for a reason.....it is nature telling you that middle of the night feeds and teething are too much for an ageing woman.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

I'm sure a child would have benefited no end from her foster care. That route should have been exhausted if she had such a parental urge.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Ah, that's why I ended up divorced!

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

I agree with what you're saying, but what about men?

Is it just a design fault, that in theory they can carry on siring children until they drop....or until it drops off?

:D

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

:rolleyes:

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

lol as teh baby gets teeth she will be loosing hers

omg i just had a horrible image of a 66 year old woman breast feeding, she would be able to lay teh baby on teh floor and feed it while she was standing up :eek:

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

men ARE a design fault, end of

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

hmm if you call the ability to take a pee standing up without wetting our feet a design fault then yup you have a point :)

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

shouldnt that word at the beginning be INABILITY?

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Nope .... mind you i havent started yet anyway .... mind you dont you think i've enough looking after spug ....

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

dont you think its about time you tried feeding him solids :D

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Every time I hear about a case like this I am convinced the woman in question has to be stark raving mad.

This woman is the same age as me. Now I suppose if I'd never had any children I might have this rosy idea of how idyllic it would be to have a child. I have, however, had 3 children and 2 grandchildren so I live in the real world, where babies are concerned. OK, she's going to have a nanny. Outside the royal family and the very rich it's rare to get a nanny who's on hand 24 hours a day for years and years.

The lady says she's very healthy. Yep, she probably is right now because she's never had broken nights with a teething child or caught every known germ from a toddler who brings them home from Nursery on a daily basis. Wait until the day she's playing with Junior on a beach or in a park and she gets a sudden Senior Citizen's twang in her back/leg/arm/whatever - and it will happen - or she falls asleep over lunch because she only got a couple of hours the night before.

I would predict that when she's 76 (and Junior is still only 10) she will feel and look more like 86 and poor Junior will probably be an orphan before he/she is 21. How sad.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Well, the man's role in procreation is quite minor......leave a deposit and that is it.......men do not carry a child, are not affected by the hormonal changes of pregnancy(except perhaps second hand)........do not give birth, or breast feed.... do not suffer the indignity of pelvic floor problems.......(let's not go there)and if they do have any hands on skills they are, in the main, quite limited....in short they are not the main carer for a baby/toddler/child........and in my experience most men let mum get up with the tinlid when they are teething or running a fever or are just plain restless........OK, there may be some of you men out there who do a bit more.....but from what I have heard from younger family memebers and friends it doesn't really amount to much.

So I think it is just a bit different for men....and if they really wanted to, a man can just leave his deposit and then.......leave....no emotional attachement.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

It must have been hard for you living with that kind of man. Why did you not get rid of him if he was so useless?

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Well I did :D, but very few women are in a position to do that financially.
There is an added factor - love
It is not until you stop loving your man that you see him in his true light.
The death of love for him can occur gradually as a man's selfishness erodes a woman's self respect.
So beware you husbands - every wife has her limits of tolerance

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Neil, I didn't say that I lived with this kind of man...but I know women who do.

Garinda asked a question and I gave my opinion on it....it is true that the physiological effects can never ever be experienced by a man...or do you dispute that?
And that is why child bearing is different for a man than a woman.......a man need have very little practical input........unless of course he wants to........watch Jeremy Kyle a few times and you will see what I mean.....and just because you may handle child rearing differently doesn't mean that that is the model for all fathers.

In respect of this woman, she is purely an incubator....this child is not biologically hers........and OK, there are mothers who foster children, and the children get a better mother than the biological kind......but I believe that it is wrong for women to have babies at such an advanced age.....just because we have the science to achieve it doesn't make it right.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

In answer to the original question, no i wouldnt start again at 66, wouldnt even start again now lol

I agree with so many reaponses, it is wrong to me and just because we have the technology to do it it shouldnt be done, once it is no longer "natural" for a woman to conceive then it shouldnt happen

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

I would say that after the age of 50 IVF shouldnt be available to women in this country .. and if a woman after the age 50 wants to do that then she will have to go abroad and pay for it, if she comes back to this country then she pays for all prenatal care and for the birth and for all antenatal care as well.

Whos going to bring that baby up .. the mother or the nanny .. the nanny is going to be there 24hrs day ... why .. is the mother not going to take any responsibility for the baby, change nappies, feed him/her, comfort her/him etc .. or is the baby going to be wheeled out for the cameras .. this is my mummy and shes 76 years old .. on jeremy kyle in 10 years time....and what is she going to be like in 10 years time .. is her health going to be 100% -is dementia going to kick in, a stroke, a heart attack, etc

I dont agree with it as you can probably tell. My mum when i was born was nearly 42 ... one teacher when i was at the high school is this your grandma? No its my mum and the teacher oh right and did a runner ...

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

I think the baby should be taken off her at birth, and be given to responsible people

Ones that actually have a chance of being there after it's 10th birthday

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Having had my first child at 22 it is possible that I could be a great grandma by the time I am 66. :eek:

I don't fancy having another child who is the same age as my great grandchild........how weird would that be? :rolleyes::D

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

I am 66 and have a 24yr old granddaughter.
She is a binge drinking WAG - thank goodness she hasn't had a family yet.
She thinks more about designer handbags than babies.
Perhaps will be OK in a year or two when she has matured:rolleyes:

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

I am in my 40's now and have definately not ruled out the chance of having another child. The hospital classed me as an "at risk" mum first time around 13 years ago because I had left it so late and even asked me if I may have "forgotten" about previous pregnancies...peoples opinions would not stop me having another child as long as I am fit and healthy enough to carry and deliver the child..

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

hmmm someone wants to make her mind up

see post 18

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Flashy...it is a womans prerogative to change her mind:D.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

In defence of some men - looking after children is a shared job and many men do share it equally. I think things have changed a lot since the days of women doing all the childcare.

I realise they don't actually carry the kids, although believe me I made sure Chris suffered just as much as I did when I was carrying each one of them. He felt the pain every day during my pregnancies. :D

Anyway, back on to the mad woman in question here - I wouldn't even want to have another one at 44, how crazy is she to want one at 66?

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

maybe Marg but certain people are all to quick to jump down others throats for doing things like that :rolleyes:

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Read it again darling, I said "not sure" . :rolleyes:
( think it's time you found a new pastime, my old postings can't be that enthralling.)

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

you truly are pathetic and petty Lindsay, your quick to jump down other peoples throats for something as silly as a spelling mistake, but can't take criticism when it comes to your own bull

maybe its you who needs to get a new passtime hunni

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Who's gonna support this child?
what if she drops dead in 5/10 years time?

Im 36 and NO WAY id have another child at my age:eek:
As someone stated earlier in the thread a woman goes through the menopause for a reason!!

I think she had a sperm donor too?

The answer is simple she had the IVF in the Ukrain, so, she should go back their to have the child and let their country help and support her.

When that childs 4 she will be 70 FFS its just not right!

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

In a blokes case he probably stops loving his partner the moment he wakes up after a bender and looks round and sees he's hasn't slept with Raquel Welsh, but the dragon from hell, complete with the fiery tongue:D

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

What spelling mistake are you referring to?
Didn't quote to highlight any spelling mistakes.
I am quite good at taking criticism, as long as it's constructive and useful.
I really don't know what your problem is with me but my life is too precious and valued too much by others to waste any more time on your vindictive diatribes.

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

wow it took you a couple of days to come up with that drivel did it?


impressive

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Yeah, I have a life and a job, keeps me busy most days! :rolleyes:

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

another exciting installment of the wonderful life of Lindsay...can't wait till the next episode

Re: would you start again at 66?
 

Yep, it's great being me! :D
