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

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

38 & TTC. My youngest is 10. It's a matter of perspective. Do you think you're too old? Are you happy to have another loved one to cherish? Somewhere in the middle I bet. I'd just enjoy what you have.

To be honest here, there's no right or wrong age to have a baby.  However the older you are, the less energy you will have to chase after the baby when it starts to explore.  It'll be a lot of exercise for you.
