Is 66 too old to have a baby?
Elizabeth Adeney, 66, is set to become Britain's oldest new mother. Elizabeth is eight months' pregnant after undergoing IVF treatment in Ukraine, according to the Sunday Mirror.
The news of the pregnancy has reopened debate about older motherhood.
"There's a reason why women can't conceive naturally at 60. I think you have to respect that." said one mum who spoke to The One Show.
We were also told, "I think she's being selfish. I think it's more about what she wants, than perhaps the needs of the child."
But, of course, there are opposing views. Other mums told us:
"As long as you can give the support... I just don't see the problem", and
"I think that every [woman] has a right to be a mum, so good luck to her."
