Pregnant at 40!!!

[lovetapdancingandrainbows]

Hi all,

I found out this morning via our friend the ClearBlue digital that I’m pregnant - 1-2 weeks! It’ll be my first baby and I’m scared to death.

I suffered a miscarriage 2 years ago and since then, nothing. Until now!! My partner isn’t exactly over the moon about it. He’s got 2 small children to his ex-partner and didn’t really want any more children.

It’s always been my dream to be a mother. Except my partner isn’t supportive - he tends to disappear for hours drinking when he’s not seeing his kids. He owes me thousands of pounds which he doesn’t pay back (except for a few hundred pounds here and there).

I could probably manage on my own, but am aware that this isn’t going to be easy. I’m scared that I’ll have another miscarriage (my last experience was awful and really, really scary - bleeding profusely at home).

I guess I was just looking for reassurance!! For any other Mums that are elderly like me he he :) And for some support, given my useless partner.

I’ll call my GP on Monday and hopefully get an early scan as soon as it’s possible to see a heartbeat. Fingers crossed. It’s a bit of a dream come true for me - I thought that now I was 40, there was no hope - especially after 2 years of trying.

Thanks for reading and hoping for some positive encouragement!!

I just wanted to tell you all that I’m bleeding. And it’s substantial. So that’s probably me done - in terms of being pregnant that is.

I just wanted to say thank you for all your love and support and I’m very grateful. Here’s hoping it’ll happen for me sometime in the future. Who knows? But I’m the meantime, thank you all so much xxx

Sorry if this is the case, hope you are stil getting the support you need to make a new life whether with a baby or not.

Not all bleeding means miscarriage, hugs and good luck x

Thanks everyone - sadly it is certainly a miscarriage. Was confirmed today. The doctor said I’m to go for another scan next week to make sure it’s all come away. It’s so very sad.
I’m still determined to make a better life for myself, even though this will now be on my own. Thank you for all your support during the most horrific time. I really, really appreciate it xxx

Awww I'm so sorry lovetapdancing, I could see how much this pregnancy meant to you. I miscarried a couple of years ago so I know how utterly devastated you must be feeling.
Big big hugs, I hope you have good family and friends to help you through this xx
