The 50-year-old grandmother was pregnant, and her final decision surprised the whole family

Mrs. Hanh sat on the sofa in the living room, holding the ultrasound sheet she brought back from the hospital, her face clearly showing anxiety. Mrs. Hanh is 50 years old, became a grandmother 2 years ago and is ready to enjoy a peaceful life in her old age, but this ultrasound makes her mind become confused.

– “Mom, is this… real?”. Ms. Hanh’s daughter held the ultrasound sheet, her eyes were filled with confusion and she couldn’t believe her eyes.

– “Daughter, I didn’t think I would be pregnant at this age”, Mrs. Hanh’s voice trembled, she also did not know how to inform this information to her husband.

Outside on the balcony, Mr. Tu was drinking tea and could only stay silent and a bit shy. “You’re not kidding me, are you? This, at this age…”.

– “I don’t dare to joke with you, isn’t this an ultrasound from the hospital? It also has the doctor’s signature.” Speaking of this, Ms. Hanh started to get confused because she didn’t know how to explain.

The daughter saw that so she quickly said: “Mom, I feel we need to sit down and discuss carefully. This matter for our family, for you, is not a small matter.”

Mrs. Hanh nodded: “You’re right, we need to discuss this carefully.”

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became quiet, everyone was thinking about how to handle this unexpected change.

– “Mom, what’s wrong with grandma? What are they talking about?”. At this time, Mrs. Hanh’s grandson put down the toy in his hand, walked to his mother’s side and asked curiously.

She gently patted her son’s head, “Believe, your grandmother may be about to give you another uncle or aunt.”

– “Wow, really? Tin also has friends to play with?”. Tin’s eyes lit up, his face was joyful.

– “That’s right, Tin can also protect his uncle and aunt, right?” Ms. Hanh’s daughter answered with a smile, but inside she was a bit complicated.

When evening came, the whole family sat around the dinner table, the atmosphere became unprecedentedly silent, everyone was careful to avoid touching this sensitive topic.

Finally, Ms. Hanh’s daughter broke the silence. “We need to think carefully about this. Mom, can your body handle it?”.

– “I don’t know either…”. Ms. Hanh’s answer was a bit indecisive.

The daughter began to analyze: “No matter what, we will always support mom. But this really needs to be thought about.”

Mrs. Hanh nodded, looked at her husband and daughter, then looked at her grandson. More than anyone else, Mrs. Hanh knows that this decision not only affects herself, but also the future of this family.

The living room returned to that quietness after dinner, each person had different thoughts, but were all waiting for a final decision.

After dinner, the atmosphere in the family gradually turned from quiet to tense. Mrs. Hanh and her husband discussed in the living room, their eyes filled with worry. And the daughter sat in the dining room, twisting the tea cup in her hand, falling into thought. Finally, she stood up, took a deep breath, walked back to the living room, and sat across from her mother.

Mrs. Hanh nervously held the hem of her shirt, trying to maintain calm: “Tell me, what do you think?”

– “Mom.” The daughter said slowly, weighing each word: “I’m worried, the appearance of this baby could have a huge impact on our family’s life.”

Mrs. Hanh nodded: “I’ve thought about that too, but… I don’t know what to do.”

– “I mean, you’re not young anymore. You’re 50 years old, your body’s ability to endure…”. The daughter carefully carefully expressed every word so that her mother would not be hurt, carefully expressing her concerns.

– “Yes, can your body endure the entire pregnancy?” The husband also began to participate in the conversation with concern.

Mrs. Hanh took a deep breath, trying to suppress the emotions rising in her heart. “I know that pregnancy at this age is very risky, but… but this is still a life. Mom… I feel very confused.”

The daughter looked at her mother: “Mom, I understand your feelings, but Tin is only 5 years old, we have to consider Tin’s feelings and future. And when there is another child, I worry that Caregiving will become more difficult.”

Hearing that, Ku Tin ran to Mrs. Hanh and said: “Grandma, if I had a younger brother or sister, would you play with me?”

Mrs. Hanh looked at her grandson and gently comforted him: “It’s okay, grandma will still have time to play with you.”

The conversation between the three people in the living room continuously switched between decision and hesitation, acceptance and opposition, each person trying to stand in the other’s perspective to think, but the complexity of This problem was beyond their expectations.

Ms. Hanh made the final decision. (Illustration)

After a few days of hesitation, Mrs. Hanh decided to say: “I have thought carefully. Mom decided to give birth to this baby.” Mrs. Hanh’s words surprised everyone in the family. “But I know, such a decision will bring many changes and challenges to the family.”

Ms. Hanh’s daughter held her mother’s hand tightly, her face showing a complicated expression. “Mom, have you thought carefully? This means we have to readjust our family life, we are no longer young…”.

– “Yes, I have thought carefully.” Mrs. Hanh firmly affirmed her words, her eyes radiated the strength of motherly love.

The daughter listened quietly, her eyes gradually wet. Mrs. Hanh looked at her daughter with gratitude. “Thank you, Mom. This decision is not easy for everyone, but with your support, I feel like I have more courage to face it.”

– “So, let’s try together, for this family.” Mrs. Hanh’s husband’s voice is deep and strong.

Cu Tin, who was playing puzzles, also ran over and said: “Grandma, can I help take care of my sister?”.

– “Of course, dear Tin.”

Mrs. Hanh smiled gently even though she knew that giving birth at this age would mean many problems.

Problems faced when pregnant at an advanced age

Health: As you get older, your health may not be what it used to be. Giving birth at age 50 can put great pressure on the mother’s body, especially during pregnancy and childbirth. Additionally, the risk of medical problems such as diabetes, hypertension, and other injuries may also increase.

Baby’s health: Giving birth at age 50 can increase the risk of health problems for the baby. There is a higher risk of premature birth, physical and mental development, and a higher risk of genetic problems.

Reproductive capacity: When women enter menopause, fertility decreases significantly. Fertilization and fertilization in this case may become more difficult, and the likelihood of success of methods such as in vitro embryogenesis may also decrease.

Financial sources: Raising children requires a stable financial source. When you have a baby at age 50, you may face financial challenges while raising your child, including medical expenses, education, and other daily needs.

However, each person and family has their own situations and perspectives. Having a baby at age 50 can bring joy and happiness to many people.
