first pregnancy at 38

Hi I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant and I'm turning 39 on Feb 2021.

This is my first baby and my age really concerns me.

I heard baby's heart beat today and i have tears of joy.

Honey, you are not old!  I had my first pregnancy when 38 as well.  :>))  Many of my friends had their first children later like this too.  I had two kids as I had a second child 15 months after the first.  They are teens now.  Both pregnancies were unremarkable.  Give yourself some extra rest, take your prenatal and you should be fine!!  Congrats.  Was this a planned pregnancy?  How are you feeling?
