After feeling a hard lump in her abdomen, a 57-year-old British woman went to the doctor. Fearing a cancer diagnosis, she scheduled a sonogram. Imagine her surprise when the diagnosis was quite different: She was pregnant with her first child.

The baby is expected to be born this week by c-section. The couple had undergone fertility treatments for several years in an effort to conceive, but thought they had miscarried after their last try. Assuming the baby is born safely, the woman will be able to count herself among one of the oldest mothers in her country.

I can't imagine her relief, but pregnant at 57? Good luck to her!
