Hi, 38 with 13 year age gap!

[babylou]

I`m 38 with a 6 year old son,& found out just a few days ago there is another one on the way. Just when I thought I was getting my independence back,up pops this. Worried sick,scared to death......hopefully neg feelings will fade,been walking around in a daze since I found out

I had the same feelings too! When baby arrives I will be 38 with a very excited 7 year old. I completely understand your worries, I felt much the same, but feel alot more positive now, hope you do too. Remember those hormones don't help!

I feel exactly the same! I just hope I start to enjoy this pregnancy rather than worry.Feel totally shocked and dazed!!!! xx

Same here! We have 4 kids, ages 8, 11, 14, and 16, this was a total shock!! We were using something and everything I read says it gets harder to conceive the older you are, well not in our case. Having a bit of a hard time with it, everybody seems super happy for us but we are not sure what to think! Oh well, can't change it and I'm sure it will be very loved Baby who is 8 seems a little jealous though!

Think I'll get my head round to it eventually!!! Just never thought for one minute it would happen!!!! xx

hi :waves: i have a son, kyle 13 yrs and nicole who is 15mths. i was 37 when nicole was born and it was starting all over again. everything had/has changed. i had high BP and was afraid of pre-eclampsia all thanks to my silly sister (if i coughed she was off googling).

im still sleep deprived, madame doesnt need sleep, nice for her, hell for me. its been tough but loving it. and erm yes i would go again but dont tell dh, he would run far far away
