Having a baby at 57

[Marigold2]

There is a lady I know who might be pregnant. She is 57, they will redo the test in a couple of days.
She had her tubes tied years ago.
57 and expecting, that is almost too diffiult to imagine.
By the time the baby is two she will be 60, when child is ten she will be 70.
I hope the second test comes out negitive for her sake.
What a difficult decision to face...........

I have never heard of a woman getting pregnant at that age without medical help. And her tubes were tied years ago? Prayers on the way for her, whatever the results may be.

From what you have posted, it doesn't sound planned. I hope she will make the best of the situation. There could be far, far, far worst things than being "old" with a young child...KWIM?

57 and pregnant??? Kill me now!! I wouldn't THINK of doing dirty diapers, midnight feedings, etc. That is unless it's a friend's kid that I can give back to.

Hey, it's a life.
Go with it.

UGH!!! I can't even imagine. I have a hard enough time trying to keep up with the grandkids, let alone having one of my own to care for 24/7! My energy and patience decreases as my age increases.

Hoping your friend gets the results she's hoping for, which ever way it goes for her.
