I'm Pregnant!

Quote From: tandric

I am 42 and am 20 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby. My first is already 19 years old!!! and my 2nd has just turned one. It's been a long time between drinks for me. My partner and I planned these babies, but unfortunately the stress got too much for him and we have separated. We have recently discovered that he may have Aspergers Syndrome, and stress is his weakness. When he gets stressed in any way, how whole personality changes and he gets nasty. So here I am at 42 with almost 2 little ones to bring up alone! Not quite the way I had planned, but I still consider myself very blessed in other ways.

Cheers

I bet most people think I'm crazy but I'm 43 and I have a daughter,20,w/baby, 10mos, a son,18, a daughter,15, and 3 yrold twin girls. With just the last three home and the twins heading for preschool this year(they'll be 4 in the fall) I already feel like an empty nest and I want another baby! Am I totally crazy or what? My first three were born before I was married to my husband and we had the twins together. He wants a boy now and I just plain love babies and being pregnant. Am I being unfair to the ones we have now to spread myself so thin? I just wondered what you might think as an older mom. I think I'm a way better mom now than when I had my first three.

I know just how you feel!  

  

I had not planned to have baby #4 either and it was a total shock to me too. I only found out I was pregnant after my dh and I had decided we were over, so I am on my own with this baby too. I already have 3 sons (between 7 and 11) so I have my hands full as well, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I see this baby as a blessing and hopefully it will be the darling daughter I have always wanted but don't really mind as long as it's healthy. I am 18 weeks now and hopefully will find out what sex bubs is next week when I have the next scan. 

  

I hope you are feeling OK with everything now and are taking it as easy as you can (yeah I know easy to say but hard to do).  

  

Take care,
