    That's fantastic! I'm 41 with a 9-month-old and 3 year old and my partner is 48 (need to update my sig). If I didn't have such bloody awful pregnancies, we'd be trying for another.

    FWIW, I didn't cop any comments about being an older mum. Someone told me that the average age of mums at the private hospital I went to is 39 and certainly in my circle, all my friends have given birth post-37. One had her second at 44.

    Infact, I usually tried to ram my age down the health professionals' throats expecting/wanting them to tell me I was a miracle but none of them really raised an eyebrow

    Congrats and welcome back.

    I'm 38 expecting twins and have an 18 mth old DD as well (all through IVF), so you are definately not alone in being an "older mummy".

    Congratulations
    I was 40 when I had Samuel and had just turned 45 when I had Daniel. My next two pgs though were twins both times and both times m/c at 10 wks. I am now 47 and would love another surprise.
    All my pgs are natural with no medical assistance
    Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy

    Congratulations on your pregnancy and do not worry about the age. I am currently 6 and half weeks pregnant and I will be 44 when this baby is born. Had my first at 42.
