I am going to be a 1st time mum at 42 in 2021 and I am terrified! I have a million questions and am so lost in a world of emotions!

Any Mum’s of a similar age able to give me some advice or reassurance? Thanks

Hey,
I'm 36 and am feeling exactly the same.
How far along are you??
I'm 12+1 and have my 12 week scan on Friday. I've been suffering from HG and been in hospital once on a drip so its all so overwhelming and I am full of anxiety so your not alone :)

Me! First time mum and will be nearly 41 when baby arrives next March!! I know that it seems much more common now for mums be early 40s but it doesn't make it any less scary!!

When are you due? Have you had a good pregnancy so far? X

Hi Kelly

You poor thing, sounds horrible. Thankfully I’ve not been too bad sickness wise, I hope it eases soon.

I am 8 weeks and will have my scan in the new year!

Ano it is more common now to be an older mum but it is scary and daunting x
