I'm so excited and this is some welcome good news for our family as we've been through a tough time.

She thought she was going through menapause when she was late!!

She is 47 (had me when she was 17) and has been for a CVS or something? Anyone have any experience of this? Has she put herself at any risk?

I feel like a small child! I grew up with 4 little brothers so this could be my long awaited baby sister!!!!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

aww, that's lovely.

She's very lucky to have a fab daughter like you as well.

dp's sister is 25 years his senior and his nephews and niece are similar in age to him. They get on fantastically - your little bro/sis is also going to be very lucky
