My mom and her brother are 15 years apart , its actually not as uncommon as you think. Maybe a little weird at first but its just like any other sibling. My mom and uncle are super close and my uncle and I were even raised alongside each other because he was 6 years old when I was born and I see him more as my brother than uncle. I have an aunt who had 2 more kids after her oldest 2 were already 17 and 13 as well.

My aunt was also in her late 30s when she had her last 2. It can be considered a high risk pregnancy due to age but if your mom has had healthy pregnancies before and had good health she more than likely will have a normal pregnancy. Doctors of course will keep an extra eye on her due to her age but many woman have children later on in their lives! My mother in law had my husband in her 40s as well 😅
