You'll be fine OP as will your child. Try to get in shape now, and line up support systems post birth, the first year is a marathon and harder physically on older moms (like me!) but it will keep you young and you will love it. Have 2 kids under 5 and closing in fast on 50.

46. Her "youngest" at the time of pregnancy was 18. Talk about starting over!

Child was smart but devious. She was in my child's Kindergarten class. She would physically hurt classmates (spit in ears, put glue on children's hair and cause major damage, go under the table to pick up crayons and very quietly tie the shoelaces of two kids to one another in order to make them fall down). She would then get into these hysterical laughs when kids cried. She should be about 20 years old now. During meetings that mom would make excuses saying her kid was doing all this because she was smart and too bored in class.

probably too old and tired to parent

Not necessarily....sounds like this girl was (is?) emotionally disturbed. (IMO)

My grandmother was 43 when she had her 7th child; got pregnant at 46 but miscarried.

Could this be with an egg donor? No judgment here...but sometimes you never know....
I am amazed at all these births to women in their 50's!

A 55 year old used a surrogate or was, herself, a surrogate?
