I’m hoping I’m pregnant, still have to wait a while to test.

Don't think you have to buy everything brand new
Have a storage system in each room for nappies, wipes etc so everything is to hand

I was 41 when I had my daughter by c section 8 years ago. I can honestly say its been a joy. I have no other advice except to say enjoy and cherish every moment. I had my first child at 19 and was so busy career building and well everything you do as you start out on independant life that I missed so much, 21 years later I had my daughter and its been amazing.Although I some days lack in energy I find I have more patience,time,money,and desire to be the best mother I can be.Wishing you the very best and hope you have your happiest days ever to come.

I had my last at 42. Total breeze of a pregnancy and what an amazing little boy he is! He’s going on 6 now.
I would never have one later than 42-43, tbh. We age rapidly in our 40s and it IS a different decade than our 30s. What I’m saying is, I wouldn’t plan on having babies into your mid 40s.
That would be my only advice. Get having babies done in your early 40s. Good luck to you!
