If you haven't gone through menopause, you could still get pregnant at that age. I don't know how healthy it would be for a mother or the child... And socially it would be very awkward to have a 53 year old mother taking you to school. Then at graduation the mother would be 66. Paying for college and trying to retire would be incredibly difficult - not to mention all the energy it takes raising a kid.

But possible? Yes.

It is possible and women are having babies in their 50s but personally I don't think it is fair to the child. At 48 you may still feel young but think about the child who will possibly lose their parent at such a young age when they need them the most: graduating from high school, going to college, getting married and everything else that comes with life. There is also a big possibility of having a child with downs syndrome at 48.
