Older mommies...

edited February 2011 in Pregnant
I am 36 yrs old...i have a 15 year old daughter and 10 year old son from my 1st marriage. I got divorced after 15 years of marriage.
I have dated a wonderful man,he is 37,that has never had children. We just found out last week that i am pregnant and starting into my 7th week. Due Oct 6th. He is ecstatic. His first child. I am happy but freaking out!! I am so afraid of something being wrong with the baby because of our ages. Any older mommies out there with same fears????

  • No worries. Here anytime for you. Just out of curiosity have you had your hcg level done. Mine came back at 2337 today and I was wandering what someone else's due the same time would be x
  • I had a blood test done but wasnt told what HCG levels were..
  • Ah, not everyone has them done here so I guess its the same for you. Thank you anyway x
