49 and pregnant

I am 49 years old and pregnant by ivf. I have a 25 year old daughter and 23 year old son but my second husband aged 32 has no children. He is in a wheelchair and we had to use ivf to acheive this pregnancy. I am looking for other older mums cause this is so hard compared to my other children. I would love to chat and compare notes as I find it hard to connect with younger mums. Only others of close age will understand what is happening here. One minute I am pre menopausal and the next I am pregnant!!
Is there anyone else out there???

I am 49 years old with a 10 year old son, married. I am 4 days late on my period. I think I am pregnant since I had unprotected sex with a 37 year old. He wasn't suppose to *** in me but he did.  I always wanted another child, sibling for him but my husband doesn't want because he feels we are old. My son always says he wants a sibling.  I am waiting few more days before a pregnancy test.

I am 38 and pregnant with our 4th. Even though my oldest is only 6 I feel like I'm so much more tired with this one and each one seems to be getting harder. I also love that I lived it up in my 20s and have no regrets and don't feel I missed a thing! I also feel more patient and better able to emotionally provide for my kids. Besides being the worst pregnant woman to walk to face of the earth I wouldn't change a thing about when I had my kids! They will be almost 7, 5, and 2.5 when this bundle of joy comes! Hopefully it's a boy too because we have 3 amazing end beautiful girls! But I firmly believe that every child is a gift from God! So thank you Jesus for my 4 beautiful gifts!

Blessings I am 39 and pregnant with my 6th baby I as well have all ages, 22, 21, 19, 5, 2, and 4weeks away from giving birth to my 6th I'll have 3girls 3boys.
And  I think my pregnancies at my older age a harder then the ones in my teens but these last 3 have been more enjoyable even thou I'm tired all the time. Well good luck with your pregnancy and God Bless You!

I am only 37 but feel I am in the older Mom category!  This is my 2nd child but I also have a 2 year old that was an IVF baby.  My son was a much more difficult pregnancy and I swear it was from all of the hormones!

I am 36 with a 20 yr old daughter, 19 yr old son, a 1 yr old son, and daughter due in December. My husband and I thought we were done and lived happily for many yes baby free and now we are up to our necks in diaper bags, ear infections, and sleepless nights. I may not be pre menopausal but I do completely understand the outside looking in.....no wait......that's me.....here if you want to talk.
