Being Pregnant

I have wanted so desperately to have a child. At my age, I never expected to reach this goal. I think I've reached it - My mornings are filled with the experience of throwing up fairly often. Most of my lunches are ice cream with all kinds of toppings. My breasts are sore all the time, and I've gone from a 44C to a 44D. My tummy is starting to stick out, and a lot of my clothes are starting not to fit. My feet and hands have started to swell. Now I question myself - a 66 year old woman in the U.K. is pregnant, and she us being excoriated for it. People are saying she has no right to bring a child into the world at that age - yet others say that if your healthy and able to carry to term there is no reason not to have a child. I find myself wondering - what do I do? I'm not supposed to be able to be pregnant, yet I must be - besides, I must admit I want a child  so badly. Then again, at my age, am I being fair or am I being selfish. I really don't know. I go to the doctor on Wednesday  - I'll have to discuss it with her then.
