I would get a full check-up from the OB/GYN before actually trying. My daughter would be fine with it but not thrilled with it, she said she's ok now being an only child well she is 15. I have reservations about it but my biggest regret in life would be not having more children. I really want 2 more children. I just never had a good husband to have the family I wanted with. I did talk to the guy and he said he'd be glad if a child came. His daughter is 9. With him I could easily manage it, alone not so much. My mom hates me and has said so publically. We have family who have safely had children even as old as 56, that one wasn't on purpose. But I have told my mom to expect me to have another child. She kind of knows. But wouldn't be all to thrilled with the idea unless I with a good man. We are older but her baby sister was born of her mother who was 45 at the time she delivered my aunt. She's healthy, an alcoholic but otherwise healthy.
