Hello there
I am scared that I might be pregnant and am 43
I already have a 16 year old and a 15 year old
What will they think if I am and when do I tell them if I am???
Oh yes my hubby doesn't know yet either so I am in a right ol pickle...don't worry he would be the father so I haven't made the situation more complicated!
I want to do a test but am worried that it is too early yet as only due now so thought might wait until I am officially late...
Any support or helpful hints would be much appreciated, I do feel rather naive and stupid but apparently these things do happen...!!!

How would you feel OP? If you really want to check you could get a first response pregnancy test they are usually the most sensitive. I'd say just do the test before you panic about the others. I hope you get the result you want

You have to test, one thing at a time!

I'm 32wks with dc4 and I'm 41. Ds1 is 22, ds2 is 20 and dd is 5. When I told the boys I was preg with dd I think they were just a bit eurrgh to think that their mum was actually having s-e-x....... They both adore her actually.
