    • Everyone here would like to help but it's difficult without knowing the ages of the girls/children.
    Advise or suggestions for approach differs from 13/14 years old than 18/19 years old.
    If you're willing to devulge their ages it would help a great deal.

    Also is this news to the girls or have they know for several months?

    I don’t understand either, I am taking the tough approach but the wife isn’t happy with my approach

    My great-grandmother had #8 at age 50, and back then, probably with a midwife and not a doctor either. All turned out well.

    As for the girls, at ages 16 and 18, they should be able to reflect on and put into words exactly why they're unhappy. It would make for a revealing examination of conscience for them. A newborn in the family sort of puts the brakes on their self-focus and will also take up much of their mother's attention away from them. Similar to what several other posters here have said, it's a chance for them to mature in charity, humility, fortitude, and patience. So you can give them that little "assignment" to mull over.
    Prayers for your wife, the baby, you, and the older children. :pray:

    Family in turmoil, anyone here who has experience with this pls let me know, wife not happy, 3 kids, 2 teenage girls not handling it well,
    My godmother had her last child at the age of 49.  Her last child has been a great blessing and companion to her ever since all of the other children left home.  The daughter is 17 now and they are the best of friends and very close.  Hopefully it will be like this for your wife!  🥰

    Another dear friend of mine had her last baby around 45 years old.  She was a traditional Catholic but many people (even Catholics) still ridiculed her for having a child that late in life...  At first I was one of her only supporters.  It wasn't easy but I do think that this last child helped bring the lady and her husband closer together. He even delivered the baby at home.

    That being said...  Are you a bit isolated or does your wife have good traditional friends to talk with about everything?  I would love to be in contact with her if she is willing and can pm you with my phone number if she is interested.  Sometimes it helps to just have someone to talk to who understands.  😇

    My gut reaction is to give them some time.  I suspect this is a huge shock for them.

    • Maybe then teenage girls are not happy, because of living arrangements that will change?

    • I’d say congratulations and God’s blessings to you!  In 1989, our 19 year old teaching assistant showed up at school kind of in a state of amazement.  She’d just found out her 55 year old mother was pregnant, although supposedly through her with menopause!  Well, God had other ideas.  Baby #13, a girl, was born at home with a midwife, two days after Mom’s 56th birthday.  Stephanie was 6lbs, 1oz, a day late, perfectly healthy.  Mom had a normal pregnancy despite the doctor insisting she come in every other week, and then every week.  He about flipped when she informed him she was having the same midwife as her last child 15 years before.  Since they were Conservative Mennonites, he knew better than to bring up abortion.  The grandchildren were all excited to go see grandma and grandpa’s new baby!  
    Stephanie is married now with a large family of her own.  Last I heard, her mother is still living although her father passed away in 2015 or 2016.  
    As for the upset teen girls, they should be ashamed of themselves!  Who says they’re going to be surrogate mothers?  And even if their help is needed more than usual, they should consider it an honor to help raise their youngest sibling.  

    P.S.  Do fire the doctor and find one who loves babies!

    ^^^This!  Once the teenagers lay eyes on that beautiful baby, they’re never going to want to let him/her go, just wait and see😊.

    • A lady at my church had number ten when she was 52.  Yeah, the teenage "surrogate mothers" need to "man up" and help out their mom.

    From what I have gathered, if a woman has a child that late in life she already had a number of children already.  I have never heard of a woman having a baby at that age who never had a child before (well, outside of biblical figures).
