I've just found out I'm pregnant and I'm around 5-6wks. I've just turned 43 and have a DD of 12yo who has complex and profound disabilities. DD is hormonal and transitioned over to High School and is struggling with it all. It's a very draining and stressful time at the moment. My husband is over the moon that we are pregnant whilst I'm still trying to get my head round it. I had been off work with depression for 9 months and then decided to give it up and become a full time carer for my DD and get myself back to being me. I feel I am back to myself again so my husband and I had agreed to try for one last time (I think I'm too old!) and it happened straight away, probably this has shocked me more! I've not been to the doctor yet as that would make it 'real'. Once I get my head round it then I will make that appointment. I have so many questions and thoughts going round in my head I don't know whether I'm coming or going any advice would be really appreciated
