Too Old?

Just found out I'm pregnant with my third. I'm going to be 39 when this baby is born.  My younger is going to be 6. I think I'm too old for this! Anyone else start over older in life? Curious how hard this is going to be.  TIA

How nice to read this topic, I'm not alone. I'm 35 and will be 36 when the baby is born. My oldest daughter is 13 almost 14 and my youngest daughter is 9. So it was a bit of a shock and I'm a little bit scared starting over again. But it's also nice that my daughters are so involved and helping out with everything.

Had my first at 29 and my fourth at 39. She is almost 1 now and an absolute dream. Labour and birth was hard drug free but quick and I am loving being a mum at this age. It's meant to be so enjoy it, I wouldn't change it for the world xxx
