Hi ladies! This is my first. I am 37 and peolpe use to say to me: are you pregnant with you first at what 40 or not.I would say i am 36 and this is my first thank you and age does not matter! it is hard. Now at mothers group all the first time mummies are in their 20s! They say to me the same thing!

Hi everyone.

My son is 9 and i'm 42. My partner has kids of 28, 18 and 17. I must say that all my friends were delighted when they heard we were having a baby (due in 2 1/2 weeks time) but some of my partners male friends said some horrid things like ' are you mad' 'are you going to have the baby' 'are you going to stay with her' etc. I was really quite shocked.

But the people that mean alot to you are the ones that are happy if you are happy. I am sooooooo happy that I am having another baby - didnt think I was going to get the chance to. Good luck to you all - we are all so lucky. And.....second time round plus being older I feel much calmer and my 9 year old son is v excited about the arrival of his little sister in a couple of weeks time.

Am counting the days now....this last 2 weeks seems to take forever doesnt it!

Lotsaluv

I LOVE the age gap between mine, my boys are 17 and 8 (he will be 9 when LO gets here). To me, it's wonderful because they don't have the competitiveness that creates jealousy. They are wonderful buddies and love each other's company, and their needs have always been different so I never felt pulled in too many directions at once. It's great to have the one-on-one time with your new baby that is so special, and also have some older helpers for additional support. Fantastic as well that your older ones are on board and excited. No one can make the judgement that it's the "wrong time" for your family to embrace a new member! Forget what people say and enjoy every bit!

I'm 37, my DD is 15 and DS is 14 and I get the same thing...why would you want to go through that all over again when your kids are almost grown? All the women in my family have kids really young and get them out young..I'm not sure why because they then sit home and complain how empty their house seems

I don't really give a thought to what anyone thinks We've been trying for this pregnancy since DS was born and have had 3 failed IVF attempts and finally out of the blue it happened naturally so I'm over the moon and no one is taking this excitement from me.

Aww congratulations!! x
