Daughter and I pregnant together

in Pregnant after 35
My daughter and her husband are having some difficult moments as she nears the end of her pregnancy.  She confided in me some issues and my husband and I drove over there and spoke with them both.  Both she and her husband felt relief, but not as much as I did when I confided in them both that no matter what the problem is, there is always someone who can help.  I looked at my husband and said I was spilling the beans and told my daughter that I am pregnant, also.

Last time I mentioned anything about a bay both she and her sister lectured me about irresponsibility of having another child at my age.  I was pleasantly surprised when she broke out crying and hugged me to congratulate me.  Pretty sure most of those tears were from the previous arguing with her husband and hormones, but it was still much better than her being angry.  I have fretted over this for so long, I guess for nothing.

She has been sworn to secrecy since we are not telling anyone else until we have done all the genetic testing, etc. or until I can't suck my gut in enough to pretend I'm not.  Boy I really love flowing sun dresses and maxi-skirts.

    First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!  How exciting!  I'm sorry that your daughters felt the need to lecture a grown woman about getting pregnant, though.  Ugh, I haven't even told my family yet because I know they will react the same (I'm 38), so I'm not looking forward to it.

    Kudos to you and your hubby for being there for your daughter when she needed you.

    Oh, that's so awesome! My dd's are my youngest kiddos so I'll never be pregnant at the same time as them, but my oldest DS is the age I was when I was having him. I was pregnant earlier this year (10 week m/c in May, TTC now) and he was kinda shocked but happy.

     He's in college and not getting serious about a girl right now-focusing on his rigourous program-so grandkids are likely years away. Funny, ds was born the same year as DH's little brother-and i"m the same age as my Dad's youngest brother!

    Congrats on your pregnancy and I hope your daughter and her husband can work through their difficulties. Unfortunately I know what it's like. I'm glad she was happy for you.
    Me:41, DH:41 Positive for MTHFR mutations- one copy C677T, one copy A1298C. One daughter born on Thanksgiving in 2013. Six losses.
