Pregnant after 35

intro...43 with surprise BFP

Hi ladies! 

I'm 43 and got my BFP 2 days ago.  SURPRISE!!  My DH and I have 4 kids (2 each from our first marriage) ages 12-18!  This little one was not planned, but we are thrilled.  I'm still in shock and disbelief, though.  We had a BO a few years ago, so I'm trying not to get to excited yet.  I know at my age, the odds are not in our favor.  My first OB appt is Nov 19th. That seems like forever to wait!

I look forward to getting to know you all!  Best wishes to all of you!

  • Congratulations to you and your family.  What an exciting time for all of you.  Keep healthy and do not worry about things you cannot change and keep positive you will be okay.   Enjoy this.    Just to let you know my aunt did not get married until she was 43 years old had her first baby at 44 and the second one at 46 and they are both healthy.
