OMG my MOTHER is PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LadyTambaOfTambaTown]

I am very very very young too! Really I am!

I'm 24, so youngish

Ahhh how young are you then ruhbarb...

Well if she's been trying for 2 years and is really happy good on her, how wonderful. don't get why so many people are so 'ed tbh. she's 43 not 75! My mum fell pregnant when I was in my late teens but lost the baby. i'd love to have a really young brother or sister now but it wasn't to be. Congratulations to you and your ever growing family.

cam I can see my mother buying \link{http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.silverts.com/productimages/25010_tbnl.gif&imgrefurl=www.silverts.com/products/index.cfm%3Ffuseaction%3DProductList%26CategoryID%3D6%26gender%3Dwomen%26classificationid%3D10&h=120&w=100&sz=6&tbnid=-TWVki2JCh5IMM:&tbnh=83&tbnw=69&hl=en&start=127&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtracksuit%2Bwoman%26start%3D120%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN\any one of these}

not that I'm a world away from the age of Tamba's mum myself

Congrats to your mum. Dh has 2 dds - now 21 and 18 so ds's sisters are a generation older than him. That said, when it comes to men having a second family a generation apart, it's accepted as pretty standard.

I'm younger than dh bubblez! And much younger than Tamba's mum too!

again you would have been one of the ppl that I would have put in the 30something bracket along with practically everyone else.... funny that

CHEEK!

Just so long as it was at the lower end of the 30's bracket then!

surely she's saying you sound mature and knowledgeable?

is a compliment

Ah yes, well if you put it like that! Of course!

Thank you cuppacino after all it's not as though I have anyones looks to go by. If ppl sound mature I automatically assume that they are older than me.... Oh god what does that insinuate about my own maturity..lol.

my DS is a year older than my youngest brother.

its bizaar at first but you kind of get used to it..they are like cousins now. its pretty cool really.

just freaky to know your parents are still "doing it" lol

I was soooooo hoping this was a miracle 'pregnant at 50' story, alas, your dear 'old' mum is my age (but there are nooooo more pregnancies for this old bird .

LadySherlockofLGJ sorry been busy here entertaining two small monsters :o. Yes I'm in the States in Colorado!!!! It's lovely and hot here so we've been running under the sprinkler.

I just hope she doesnt suddenly discover MN !

Hee-hee! I'm 43 & my youngest is 2 so it doesn't seem that strange from my point of view but def weird for you.

I'm pg and OLDER than your mum (45 in Sept), however, am v immature...

it must be a great shock to think your mum has > been 'doing it'

fab news
there is a gap between me and my eldest sister of 14 years and we are very close and always have been.
she is 50 now, seven years older than your mum

Lol Capuccino at the Easy-care, Easy-wear

Even my mother (78 this year) wouldn't wear that gear

And as for my MIL (86) she wears Jaeger and other dead smart stuff

This happened to me - eighteen years ago. I was eighteen and my brother sixteen - my mum was forty seven and thought she was having the menopause.... Found out five months in she was pregnant (she was quite plump so this was possible...though still seems amazing to me..). All went fine - she was v anti abortion so it wasn't an option for her then even though she was pretty old and by no means that healthy. though I think my father was looking forward to retirement and no kids... Seeing my mum pregnant was very weird - and not really in a good way. I hated her vulnerability and the whole thing just felt not quite right. But now eighteen years on - i have a very sweet sister who is a great babysitter and has just done her first weekend with my kids while we went away!
Good luck with it all - for you and your mum. x

I have a brother 23 years younger. In fact my eldest sibling is 11 years younger than me. It's cool. Great for DD, who has uncles and aunts young enough to be really interesting. Though I guess in your case the baby will be your DCs niece/nephew.

Well, I'm 44 and DS is will arrive in two weeks' time. Good luck to her, I say!
