Of course, with all the talk about how you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than getting pregnant over 40, when it does happen, women and couples are dumbfounded! Yes, women do get pregnant over 40 and they do get pregnant in their upper 40's. Another page on my site talks about my surprise pregnancy at the age of 40
Here is a story of a woman who had a baby at the age of 48 and got pregnant by surprise.
From the article
At first, Robin Brussel thought she was experiencing perimenopause. Hormonal changes at the age of 47 aren't uncommon after all. Being pregnant wasn't on her radar. So you can imagine her surprise when her doctor told her that she was in fact, pregnant.
Robin, mother to four older children ages 18 to 28, would be having a baby at 48! The baby would be the first for herself and husband of four years Mark, 56. Mark also has older children, the oldest being 36 so he was also not "expecting" such news.
...New dad Mark recalls his thoughts upon finding out that his wife was pregnant, "When she told me she was pregnant, I said, 'Unbelievable. It's gotta be a mistake, you gotta go to the doctor.' My concern was that they were healthy. When the doctor said that, I was excited about it."
Being a dad at this age will help keep him young, he said. Teaching Noah how to throw a baseball and other sports, "I'm sure gonna try" he said.
