I feel like I've run out of time and am panicking

Any good news stories to make me feel better!?

Yep. No.4. I'm 19 weeks.

35, 36,39 and 42. I believe it's easier if it's not your first after 40? That might just be an old wives tale though, but this one was a bit of a surprise!

1st at 42, 2nd at 45. So there is still every chance.

Not me, but I have four friends who've had babies in their 40s - their ages at conception were 42, two at 44 and 47!

So it's not impossible!

I conceived my second at 42 and had him aged 43.

Yes, the first month after the IUD came out.

I was a bit startled. She is 2.5 years old and simply wonderful.

@notmy - is this your first? Odds are significantly better if you've been pregnant before.
