Well that British woman had one and she is 62, mind you her`s was after having IVF and she is a doctor so I suppose that makes a difference

It would work and should be safe to a point. My mom was 42 when my youngest sis was born. However, you are 58 years old and you will be dead and gone by the time this child is 10 years old. Not fair to the kid don't you think? Mom will pass on by the time the child is 20 years old. Both of my parents passedon in my early 20s which meant I never got to even have a beer with my dad and play a game of pool. They was too old to enjoy taking us kids to the ballpark or swimming and all the things kids need.
So Safe maybe. Do you have the time left NOPE so don't do it. Unless someone is going to bring this child up as their own.. Maybe your kids? They should be in their early thirties by now. My daughter will be 30 this month and I am 48. So we still have 20 more years to know each other.

I think that it's great you guys want to start a family.
Aside from the safety issues have you guys thought about the child once its born? Of course it's going to take a toll on your woman's body because she's 48 and growing a human inside of you is no easy task.
But what I want to know is that by the time your child is 20, your woman will be 68 and you will be 78..
Not to mention trying to raise a teenager in your 60's and 70's?
I don't want to sound negative, I"m sorry...but that's a HUGE task ahead of ya..

You both should be talking to an OBGYN Physian...NOT anyone on this forum.
Take the information shared with you here with a grain of salt.
Most women over 55 having a saying:
God knew what he was doing when he made women unable to bear children after menopause.
Important: Most women just run out of sufficient steam to chase after children in their EARLY 50's.
Think long and hard about the years ahead for her if she has a small child at age 49. It could be a disaster, and wear her down to a single-thread, if not break her all together;
and consider Down's Syndrome or other birth defects for women who have insufficent mensis-nutrients for carrying a late-life baby.
Have you considered adoption?
Special needs children are plentiful, and need loving parents.
I wish you love
stw
p.s. You called her "your lady". If you are not married, and you pass away, she's going to be stuck late in life with no means to support the child, and none of your S.S. benefits either.
I'm wondering if you are totally focused on YOUR wants, and none on her needs and requirements of living.

People do it. Her doctor should help her decide whether or not she should. It might be hard for her to get pregnant at this age because nature tries to save us from ourselves.
At her age all risks are elevated. The chances of Down's Syndrome are greatly increased.
You will not live to see your grandchildren grow up. Your child will be orphaned at an earlier age than most kids.
Have you considered making an already existing life better, as in adoption?

the baby could be born with a disability or maybe a couple of disabilities. The doctors said that when the women reaches 40 years old it is hard for the women to deliver the baby and her life could be in danger so maybe you should adapted a child, is not the same put at least she or the could not be in danger

No No No! Too old!
Want sleepless nights?
Want "Oh your mum's not here - is that your granny?"
Please...act your age!
Sorry to be negative but a child is for life and at your age ( and mine for that matter) there's not much left.
Should you and you partner die at 60 you will leave a 14 year old as an orphan.
Please - don't do it!

The risk of her having a baby with Downs Syndrome is very high...maybe you should consider adopting.

BAD IDEA.
Its a high-risk pregnancy.
Plus, think of this: When he/she graduates high school, you will be 79 or so. (IF you are still alive)
All you two can offer to a child at that age is to be parentless at a very young age. I am not being mean, just honest.

When the kid is 10 and wants to play football you'll nearly be in your grave...
Sorry if that sounds blunt, but that's what worries me about this sort of age...
