Hi, just wondering if there are other women here who are pregnant and in there 40´s ? i really hope so, it would be could to talk to others in the same situation...

i hope it goes well for you to, yes I will do the same, take it one day at the time and hope for the best, I think I am 6 weeks as well, just downloaded an app and it said 6 weeks :) and i would be 5 days from 42 :)

Congratulations! I'm 45 and 22 weeks pregnant. There's quite a thread of us older ladies on here... If only I could remember what it was called... Baby brain!

Also there is a geriatric mum's Facebook group which is apparently excellent, though I've yet to join, as like you, I haven't actually gone public officially.

Though people are starting to look at me strangely, I can see they're caught in that - is that menopause fat or a baby- thought process!!

Mine was a total suprise too...

"Any older expectant mum's out there?" Thread.

Lots about the triple and harmony tests which you might find useful

Congratulations! I had my little girl at 42. Tiring but wonderful. Your teen will hopefully be a wonderful help. I wish I could have more but my one is enough to deal with! I’d have no issues with having 2 more 😨

45 and 38 weeks, totally healthy mother and baby, new downs / Edwards blood test 98% accuracy just from a drop of blood v reassuring

I had dd 3 weeks before my 41st birthday (although age us only 3 years younger than DS). A friend has just had her 3rd at 44 after a 12 year gap! She’s living older morhrhood.

Love reading these stories, living vicariously (as they say), through you all.Im 48 with a nearly 21 year old and I still have crazy fantasies about another one 🥴🤣 . Good luck to you all 😁

Massive congratulations I'm 41 had DS at 39 actively trying for my second

This is so great reading all your stories, they really help... I told my spouse, hehe he couldnt believe it, but was happy as well, just very very very surprised....

I had my firstborn at 41, second at 43 - they're healthy and lovely, and I am keeping in shape running after them

Congratulations!

How lovely. Huge congratulations!

thanks and I am happy it all worked out so well for everyone :) I will take this one day at the time and hope the pregnancy goes well :) spouse is quite happy i think, shocked, but happy ;)

Congratulations. Slightly different but my mum had me at 17 then my youngest sister at 33 so big age gap but I've always been able to help with baby sitting! Also my mum said the older she got she had more patience bringing my younger sister up

how great that all the siblings with years apart work out so well, I have actully the same, my little sister is 19 years older than me and we have a great relationship.

i just called my doctor and asked for an appointment, I think the ting I am most scared of is a miscarriage, maybe beacuse I think this is my last chance... hmm but I will try to not be scared about that, since the last time everything went so well... even if its 15 years ago.

ubs, I mean she is 19 years younger than me ;) hehe my mom had me at 20 and her at 39

Where do you find “mum-groups” for similar due-date or month? :)

Congrats OP, what a wonderful surprise. Wishing you all the best.

Thank you :)
