Pregnant after 35

Turning 40 in May & just found out I'm pregnant :-)

So thrilled, but nervous of what may lie ahead!  I have a 14 yr old son and 14 year old stepson - completely starting over, but oh, so blessed!  Anyone else out there 40ish and expecting?

  • I'm also turning 40 in May, with a 15 year old daughter and due in September. I understand all the excitement and fear about starting all over.
    When my daughter was born there was no online shopping or strollers with cup holders... It's a whole new baby world out there! I can't wait!! :D
  • I'll be having my first at 41 - woohoo for AMA moms!

  • I'm "only" 37, young for this board, but this is our first. All of you lovely ladies having kids in your 40s give me such hope! We're wanting to have two, and it took us a couple years to get pregnant with this one.

  • I'm 40 and this is our first. (Took way too long to find my amazing husband!) We are hoping for at least one more after this. Actually, DH is crossing his fingers for multiples. I'm okay with doing this one at a time! Glad to see some of you on here a few years older than me. I really don't want to stop at just one.

  • Turning 40 very soon and pregnant for the first time ever!  Twins are due in August.  Big Smile

  • Yes! Just had my first son 2 years ago at 38, and now Im having another boy in May, at age 40.

    Unfortunately we lost our son in July to Trisomy 18 when I was 6 months pregnant, but we are lucky enough to be expecting again. 

    This will be the last though. Which is just fine with my body!

  • Congrats! 

    I just turned 42 and my first (and only) will be here in March so I am just starting! 

     

  • Congratulations! I am 41 with my first baby due in April and it is so nice to read about other women my age having babies. I was a bit nervous when I first found out I was pregnant as all my friends and co-workers had their babies when they were much younger, so it's nice to know I am not alone.
