Gulp. Am I pregnant? And Too Old?

[Thekindofwindowsfaceslookinat]

I know, I know, you don't know if I am, but I"m in a right panic and just want to get some views on one particular point...I've just turned 45, and this will be my fourth baby.

We had sex when I thought I'd finished ovulating, that was just over a week ago. I woke this morning with a really strange, sour taste in my mouth that has lingered all day, along with a slight feeling of sickness (I didn't get MS as a rule with other babies). Eating makes the sicky feeling a bit better,

We both would be shocked but happy about another baby, but I get the feeling I'd be judged as I'm 45 (husband even older!)

Any great, uplifting stories of being pregnant at 45 or older? What about that sour taste in mouth...anyone had that as an early symptom?

I"m testing tomorrow, but might be too early, but I can't think about anything else at the moment.

I"ve name changed for this as I know a few folk on here in real life!

God damn it. Just done a search on op and looks like a name change for this post.

I need to know the outcome!

No one cares, apart from you. You're inventing a problem which doesn't exist, on many levels. You don't even know if you're pregnant.

Oh boo! I also thought it was the OP coming back to update on the birth!

Ooohlalala i imagine op is well aware by now

God I need an update too! Come back OP!

DAGNAMIT I just read the whole damn thread before realising it was a zombie!

Guessing OP wasn't pregnant...

I've just learned that I am pregnant! I just turned 48 and I already have 4 boys: 25, 22, 20 and 12 and now this!!! I am scared.. My life was getting comfortable again...and now baby! I was getting ready for grand-kids not my kids! I need some support, please!

Congratulations!
A lot to think about,your health and that of the baby,but,a brand new life!
A sit down and a cup of tea whilst you absorb the news op.
Make the decision that is right for you.it's nobody else's business.

agabanach why don’t you start your own thread? This one is quite old and your post might not get seen.

Hope you’re ok! You must be so shocked!

@agabanach

This is a zombie thread, you really need to start your own.

Congratulations! I think it’s normal to be a bit scared.

I am 42 and we are actively trying for number 2. We also have a 10 month old.
I understand how you are feeling, however ultimately it is non of anyone else's business. If it is right for your family, go for it!
I have my fingers crossed for you!
