Brief Answer:
Visit an infertility clinic
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your burning desire for a baby now but you will have to keep many points in consideration.
Firstly nurturing a baby without any other financial and emotional support is a big task do be ready for that thing.
Second important issue is birth defects and chromosomal abnormalities seeing your age which will need lot many investigations during pregnancy and need for termination may arise too.
Third and most important point is conceiving at your age is difficult in the first place and to know your fertility potential and chances of getting pregnant naturally needs to be evaluated. Visit a good infertility clinic and all these situations can be tackled easily and meticulously.
All the best.
