Can I get pregnant at 48 ?

Just to to say times are changing and people are living longer, so in ten years time getting pregnant at 48 will be like getting pregnant at 38. as long as your well fit and healthy and have lots of love to give and you become a older mum great. Wanting to be a older mum is not uncommon no more, look at how they have now raised the IVF treatment  age, it just goes to show our times they are a changing. I wish you all  the very best in becoming a older mums . xxx

YAH EXACTLY RIGHT

I feel the same way that you do. I have been pregnant 1989 and now I am married and my husband does not have any children, I want a baby so bad that I can't sleep at night. Everytime I go to the doctors, they pretty much laught at me. I feel so bad.

You're not alone. I am 47 and a half years old. I never got pregnant in my life. I have fibroids and underwent at least three surgeries in the past. I love children very much and sometimes I feel very sad for not having any. However, I put my faith in my dear God and I know that he will answer my prayer. Trust God, as you said. With him nothing is impossible.

Ms. Dee, I to had two miscarriages a year apart in 1991 and 1992, Now at 47, I am trusting God to bless my womb and allow me to have a child. Yes, people don't really understand how it feels to desire to be a mother and can't have a child.

Are we forgetting spiritual health? Ask God in the name of Jesus. He put you here and there's a plan that will fulfill all the desires of the heart. This is the key that so many throw out because they think it is for someone else.  I am also 48 but God told me to go on HRT even before I was diagnosed as needing it (I thought he was talking about my Mum!). He has promised me a child. We were meant to hear the voice of God, but if we are separated from him he will seem far off. Go to you bible, get on your knees and ask. We were never meant to live without God as our constant companion - a relationship. Give your life back to him. He will find a way to fulfill that desire. We have to return to God, we have to ask for our sins to be forgiven (separation is sin). This is the only way to Heaven, by the Gatekeeper - Jesus his Son has to 'know' us, but he has promised us Heaven On Earth, too. Read your bible, pray, attend a spirit filled church and watch Jesus show up in your life. Don't just try it, stick with your maker - he can fix you! Blessings, S.

yes,.don't give up...give women like us hope too......

I agree it is no one business if you want a baby at 48 keep trying and relax 

Would love an update

48+12=60 not 50 however, if they got a child that's what God wanted. Blessings!

I would also like to have one. I'm 48 and didn't meet the right person until now, so I hope it can happen. I think it's up to the individual what they want to do and shouldn't worry about what other people might think!!

Is ok by me

True! I agree with you, some things are important to some people. It will be better to say nothing if you do not have anything encouraging to say. Reading this post, you can see that some people have had healthy babies at 48, so it is do-able. Please you who want a baby, commit it into God's hands and go for it. In the Bible Hannah had a normal healthy baby when she was well over 48, with God all things are possible.

I am in the same situation as you. My 2 kids born 1987 and 1998. I'm married and my husband and I want a child together. I was told that due to my age my eggs are too old. BUT I've heard of women conceiving and having healthy babies with their own egg. IVF is an option. Just really want to use MY egg.

It is not about the mom, but the baby and child. No one should be raising a 12 year old at 60 years of age (retirement age). The child will lose parents early and it is very possible the child's children will not have grandparents alert enough to help. Having a child at 48 is very, very selfish.
