Pregnancy at 44!!!

[WhyWomen26]

I can’t believe I am writing this,
thought I was having menopause symptoms go agreed and was getting ready to prescribe hrt had just given me all the info to look at and decide and women in family all had early menopause so expected it before now really.
however after more symptoms and stop start period that didn’t really start
I decided to test and it’s bfp!! I am shocked to say the least as was using birth control also
i feel petrified and considering going ahead but feel I can’t as well as my age dh is 47 next and we already have five kids!!! Two are practically adults and youngest three are 4, 8 and 10
the last was supposed to be the last!! We haven’t really got room and two share a bedroom and means two more will have to
plus our 7 seater for holidays won’t be enough, costs etc
dh feels too old I struggled last time mentally with pnd and lack of sleep
Anyone else been in this predicament? I’m just struggling mentally with it all

I was commenting on the fact the poster used the wrong age. So not correct!

Keep the baby. Forget about these woman who keep saying that it's your choice.There's a living human being inside you who adores you anad counts on you to be there for him/her. Just stop feeling sorry for yourself and love the child.

I was 29 whilst pregnant and 30 giving birth in 2008 and my notes used the geriatric mother term then!

my sister had her 4th at 44, he's perfect and was definitely the missing bit of their family. but that's her not you
you say older ones are practically adults - how old? are they like to move out or go to uni?

if op is considering a termination, then the foetus isn't still very early. it lol isn't having feeling or adoration and hope! and it is ABSOLUTELY ops choice about what is best for her, and all her offsprings
