42 and pregnant

[Katemax82]

Hi. I'm 42 with 3 kids (18, 11 and 6) I found out this afternoon I'm 4 weeks pregnant and I don't know how to feel.about it. I feel stupid as it's unplanned. My husband is leaving the decision to me as he will support me regardless. Anyone else been in the same boat? Any positive story's of having an unplanned p
Baby at 42??

No reason why you can't have a healthy pregnancy and child. This will be a very personal decision based on your specific set up.

Best wishes while you think it over.

I had a dc at 43.2 with a gap of 6 years between the siblings!! Uneventful pregnancy tbh..

My aunt was 45 and pregnant...my gran 49...and her mum was 52 with her last one. Every pregnancy was fine 😁♥️ . We have high rate of late pregnancies in our family lol

Loads of people in their 40s have healthy pregnancies and babies!
The key questions are can you afford it, is your employment stable, is your house/car big enough, will you still be able to support your existing DC as you currently do, and do you actually want it?
