in Pregnant after 35
Im new to this website. I just found out today that im pregnant. My est. due date is November 24th, 2013 and i'm still in disbelief. I'll be 42 years in August and i thought i was going through premenopause...What a shocker when the nurse at the clinic told me i was def. pregnant. I asked her if she had grabbed the wrong test! I'm really scared too!!! Anyways, i hope to meet others like me.

    CONGRATULATIONS!  I'll be 45 in August and having my 4th in September - I also have DD's in HS and MS and a DS in preschool.  We are having a girl, too.  It is so different when you have the built in help and the older kids are great!

    CONGRATULATIONS!  It takes a while to really sink in!  I will be 45 in August and this LO is due in September.  I can relate to the "shocker" part as I thought I must be going through premenopause, too.  Good luck!

    Congratulations! I am 38 and this one was a shock for us too.  It's scary at first, but once it sets in you're going to be so excited.  Best of luck!
