Congratulations OP!

Obviously every pregnancy has risks and sometimes things just aren’t meant to be but I do know a couple of women who had pregnancies older than you and they had healthy children and are incredible mums.

Just a little update, baby was born 12 days ago 3 weeks early by planned section due to gestational diabetes that was difficult to control. Everything is perfect and he was definitely worth waiting 25 years for! I still wake up in the night for his feed and think it's all been a big dream!
