51 and pregnant

I am a husband of a beautiful, pregnant 51 year old women!! What a incredible surprise!! Hard to find to many positive people in the health fields about this pregnancy. My wife is 8 weeks along, we have had three ultrasounds. Besides low hcg levels everything is going fine so far. Our baby has a heart rate of 128 and everthing looks good. We had to wait for the third ultrassound before the doctor even fillrd our file out! Some success stories would be comforting if anyone has been in the same situation. By the way, we are 100% natural!! What a women!!

Lovely news to hear no matter what the Dr says. My mother had my younger sister at 46 it was her ninth all of us other children were out the house for the most part. Minus she hated the weight gain and swelling she was a champ with natural child birth.

To God be ALL the glory, there is surely a devine purpose for this pregnancy and all that goes with it... I absolutely LOVE your support of your pregnancy as a man... my childs father feels that he is to old making 47 this year... im said because he wants to sign his rights away... he says he just wants no part of it...and now it seems that we will no longer marry and be together.  Im grateful to know this ahead of time...

Story to share my grandmother had 2 children past the age of 45.  more than 50years  ago and that was well before the modern medicine and neonatal care units... My prayers are with you i look forward to thia journey together...

My mother had me at 46. The youngest before me was 18 then. I'm a healthy 36 yr old and was a healthy baby (but small).

My grandma was born when her mom was 50, and that was back in 1917 when there were no fertility treatments. I'm sure glad she had my grandma,  or I wouldn't be here. I just had my 12th at 45 with no complications whatsoever. I wish you all God's blessings!
