WITH her sizeable bump on show, this is ELIZABETH ADENEY Britain’s oldest mothertobe. At 66, she is four years older than the previous record holder. Mrs Adeney, who is around eight months pregnant, is believed to have undergone IVF abroad because most British clinics will not treat women over the age of 50. Friends say that the divorcee, a wealthy businesswoman who is still working a five-day week, is in perfect health and looking forward to the birth of what is thought to be her first child. But her pregnancy will reignite the debate over late motherhood and the ability of science to enable women in their fifties and sixties to become mothers. Mrs Adeney will be just short of her 80th birthday when her child becomes a teenager. .
