Just read through your thread. First I want to say Congratulations! I think you are especially blessed to be able to do this again. Second, you are starting out in better shape than many younger moms! Third, I can not believe how your family has treated you! It's appalling really. You deserve to have positive loving people in your life! I'm sorry you are being treated the way you are.
I am almost 39 & expecting baby #8. Trust me, I get more than my share of negative comments. My dh is turning 55 right before this baby is due. I can tell you that the difference between him & is peers is striking! He is aging so much different than all his friends. He really feels that he is the luckiest man in the world to have babies and also toddlers and teenagers. The love, attention, and affection he gets everyday is keeping him young.
I wish you the best of luck and all the love and happiness that comes with a new baby!

Congratulations, I would love to follow your journey. Heck with the naysayers!

Thank you to all the lovely Mom's who have posted here! I appreciate your love and support and your stories. It's so encouraging to share! We are going for our 22 week check up on Monday and are hoping to find out the gender. Fingers crossed! Will keep you all updated. Love to all! ☺

I wanted to say Congrats on the blessing.

My DH(41) and I(42) are currently trying for our 3rd. We have one of each already, they are 14 and 12, but really want another baby to complete our family. i have been spending a lot of time thinking that we were crazy to be trying this again, at our age. I have read both negative and positive posts everywhere on having babies in your 40s. I feel that every baby is a blessing, and although I hope and pray everything goes smoothly, I will love who ever comes along....assuming I get pregnant, lol.
