Hi tehre,
Welcoem to Hcm,
At the age of 48 years, it is very unlikely for her to have a normal pregnancy and normal delivery. She should tak esome form of contraception until she attains menopause.
Combined oral contrceptive pills are not the first choice in this age group. She could go for long term reversible contrception like mirena, intrauterine device or copper T. These do not cause much side effects and can be inserted easily on opd basis.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
