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!!
Welcome and congrats. I'm 42 and also having my first!

Congrats!!!!! I turn 40 in April and found out at Christmas I am pregnant with triplets. I have two boys 22 and 18 and a 13 step-son. I also have a 2 yr old grandson, so i know how you feel about starting over. GL with you new prenancy
I'm 39 and will be delivering at 40. This is our first child and I'm over the moon as we've been trying for years to get pregnant. I feel like I won the lottery.
I'm 42 and starting over too....I have an 18 yr. son, 16 yr. old daughter, and 2 yr. old step daughter! Baby is due in 5 weeks now....it's been physically harder but I feel very blessed knowing I get to experience those oh so short precious baby moments again! Don't be nervous, it will be wonderful!
But we are born to be happy, to be abundantly supplied with every good thing, to have fun in living, to consciously unite with the Divine Power that is around us and within us, and to grow and expand forever. ~Ernest Holmes
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.
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.

Over-40 parents...what we lack in vigor, we make up for with cunning.
Congratulations on your preganacy. I am 22w5d currently and we be 39 on the 31st. These will be our first, so I am panicked! Good luck.

I turn 40 in March and am due with my first in June.
Congratulations to your family!!
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!
