Hi i have just found out in pregnant i am 34 dh is 50!! We have 3 children all girls 11,2 and 1 years, it has come as a bit of shock and we have talked about it but for my dh he’s concerned with his age being 50 which is understandable he will support me whatever choice i make but termination for me isnt an option, i just want to know if anyone has been in this situation or children that have had older parents what was your experiences? Dh is an amazing father and yes its going to be super hard with 3 under 3 lol, am i over thinking all this or shall i look at this as a blessing! And yes i will w getting sterlised after this 😂

Okay - but you do understand that not all women of your age have knackered knees and hips.

I do - but many have are in much worse physical shape too.

I really wasnt posting on here for backlash i was just looking for advice an experiences! First and last time i will post on here! its just made me feel much worse 😔

I agree op - it can be incredibly harsh here. FWIW, my husband was 47 when we had our youngest (and 45 when we had our eldest) and no children before. We are just blessed that we had them at all and they are our life and have given us so much joy. You will all be fine xx
