66-Year-Old to Become Oldest British Woman to Give Birth

A 66-year-old woman who’s been “desperate to conceive for years” has finally gotten her wish:  the successful career woman and senior citizen discount recipient is pregnant with her first child.

Perfect timing, huh?  The two of them can share diapers!

Elizabeth Adeney, now eight months pregnant, flew to Ukraine where there is no age limit on IVF (unlike Britain and the U.S., which don’t offer treatment to women older than 50), becoming one of the so-called “fertility tourists.”

Sounds safe to me.  And if she needs lipo afterward, I hear there’s a fabulous plastic surgery clinic in the Colombian jungle.
