Shaking

[Peggypegson]

Hi
im very almost 40
4 kids from older teen too a one yr old
just found out this morning that I’m pregnant again and I’m absolutely terrified
we have only just moved house and only just managed to squeeze everyone in as it is!
im shaking I absolutely hate being pregnant it’s never an easy ride
and too make things more complicated I’ve no idea just how pregnant I am as my periods never returned after my last baby!!!
im so scared
my husband is fantastic but even he will be panicking when I tell him.
oh goodness I’m so so terrified…… ( I have anxiety issues as it is)
im too old for this to be ok arnt i?

You’re not too old, plenty of people have children into their 40’s.

That said, you don’t have to proceed with the pregnancy if it’s really but what you want.

You are not too old and will find space for little one, can you book a private scan for dating so you know where you are :)

Lots of people are having babies in their 40s OP.It's your decision though what ever you decide to do.

*your

You're not too old, but you do need to sit down with dh and work out how and if this will work for you and your family as it is already.

Have a scan, then decide with your husband what to do, as others have said you will find space, the older teen will be away soon and you have a one yr old anyway so you’ve got the children lifestyle for years to come one extra isn’t going to make much difference.

Thanx for everyone’s replys
my eldest daughter will be staying at home due to having additional needs so it will be 7 of us. I’ve calmed down a bit,cryed a bit,and my heart is racing. 5 kids just seems such a large amount too me! It’s just so unexpected I was half thinking it may of been menopause rather than this!! Doesn’t help that currently I don’t have a GP as we moved and the new local one has no spaces. This is just crazy…….

You can get advice and support from BPAS. Good luck.
