I have only posted a couple of times, but I know there some newly pregnant 40+ ladies here. I will be 42 when I deliver and just had a perfect level II anatomy scan. I know it can be scary being older and wanted to share good news. I know I felt encouraged by hearing positive stories from my friends who had pregnancies in their 40s. Best to all.

Over-40 parents...what we lack in vigor, we make up for with cunning.

That is wonderful news and so encouraging to me. I just found out I was pregnant this week. SURPRISE!!! I'm 43, but will be close to 44 on my due date. I think I'm only 5 weeks along, but don't have an appointment with my OB for another 2.5 weeks. Waiting is so hard! I had a blighted ovum at 39, so I'm extra nervous about this pregnancy. Glad to know I'm not the only "old lady" out there!
Best wishes to all your AMA mommas!
