News of a 66-year-old's pregnancy has caused debate Elizabeth Adeney, of Lidgate, Suffolk - who is eight months pregnant - told the Sunday Mirror: "It doesn't interest me that I'm going to be the oldest mum in the country."
She also said that sometimes she felt as young as 39, adding: "It's not my physical age that's important - it's how I feel inside."
The childless divorcee travelled to the Ukraine for IVF treatment, the paper said, and is planning to give birth at a clinic in Cambridge.
She will be nearing 80 when the child becomes a teenager.
Ms Adeney, who runs a manufacturing business near her home and will be 67 in July, said: "I have young girls working for me in my factory and I'm fitter than half of them.
"I don't have to defend what I've done. It's between me, my baby and no-one else."
Most British clinics will not offer IVF treatment to women over the age of 50.
Professor Severino Antinori, who helped 62-year-old Briton Patricia Rashbrook give birth three years ago, said he was shocked at the prospect of Ms Adeney having a child.
"I respect the choice medically but I think anything over 63 is risky because you cannot guarantee the child will have a loving mother or family," he told The Sunday Times. "It is possible to give a child to the mother up to the age of 83 but it is medically criminal to do this because the likelihood is the child will lose his mum and suffer from psychological problems."
