I'm 35, my daughter is 19 and I'm 19 weeks pregnant with my second baby girl. Totally unexpected but very excited and thankful. I feel like I'm a mother for the first time again, when I had my 19 yo I was very young and my parents helped me tremendously. This time it's just me and my husband so we've been doing lots of reading and reaching out to friends with smaller children. Congrats on your pregnancy :)

Thank you ladies... Things are way different now a days. The crazy thing my 14 yr old is the most supportive one. Lol Maybe because everyone else are boys and they're more like we'll just wait till the baby gets here.

I'm 36 and 19 weeks. I will be 37 when the baby comes. My son will be turning 20 a few weeks after this baby is born. Already I've seen a different in how the Dr does things and the prices of baby stuff has gone up alot. You're not alone here. There's alot of women in the same boat as us. Best wishes.
