I found out Friday after a doctor's appointment due to stomach pain, I'm 28 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How Could I not have known. I feel like such an idiot. I am in total shock. I am 40, have three kids already (16,11,and 3. My husband and I decided two years ago we would have no more. I had accepted this and started to move on.
I am now expecting a baby so so soon!
I feel like a complete fool, the doctor actually laughed.

I have cried all weekend and realised I will now have to tell the dc?
I am so worried what they will be like.
My mother was so unsympathetic, she just kept saying I can't understand how you couldn't have known. I was on the pill and I thought it was early menopause as this is common in my family.

My dh husband is so pleased, I am just so shocked.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Congratulations OP :)

Hopefully, once the shock wears off it'll be a lovely suprise after what sounds like a hard year x

Just told the kids! They took it very well! My three year old is excited but she has insisted it will be a sister. My DS 11, was surprisingly very excited (I think he wants a brother as he has two sisters).
And my very, darling sweet eldest daughter just gave me a big hug and said
'Everything will be fine now mum, and this time I can give you loads of help, and this baby will be the luckiest to have you as a mum"

I now have to start getting organised!
