I am 38 , I have a 20yr old , 18yr and a 14yr old (am 34weeks pregnant)
my 3 children come from a previous relationship , me and my husband have been together for 13yrs , on our 2nd yr together we have thought long and hard about trying for a baby though my husband had told me previously he had been told he couldn't have children due to a injury as a teen (was trying out steer riding in his teens in rodeos and steer crushed his testicles) we saw a fertility specialist several times and after many repeated tests told us we would never be able to have a baby , that my husband had a 0% chance of fathering a baby and for us to not waste even a penny on fertility treatments but to buy sperm , which we chose not to do , after several years we had excepted we wouldn't have a baby but in may this year we found out we are expecting (due jab 7th) a little girl.. so starting over is very exciting and say to people never give up :)

Glad I'm not the only person starting over! I have a 17 year old so and I'm 6 weeks, 6 days pregnant. I'm due 2-3 weeks before his 18th birthday.

I am 36 pregnant with my 3rd child. I have an 18yr old and 1 yr old. I didn't want my 1 yr old to grow up alone. Starting over hasn't been easy but it hasn't been necessarily difficult.  I enjoy my children.  Looking forward to this one although I have had miscarriages last in 2012 where I lost my twin girl at 32 weeks! Praying this one makes it. I'm 20 wks today

I am right at 6 weeks. I have 2 16 year olds and an 18 year old. I just turned 40 in November.  I know exactly how you feel. It sounds as if we are in the same boat. I hope your partner is supportive. I don't know what I would do without my husband!

I am 36 and have reconnected with my high school sweetheart. I have an 18 year old daughter and he had 2 sons ages 3 and 5. We decided that we wanted to deepen our family connection and I am now 6 months pregnant with our little girl. Our kids are all very excited about the news and love feeling the baby kick and talk about her like she is already here!

Actually, i am also 5wks..i have a 12 yrs son and a 7 yrs. I don’t mind to start it over, however i am really upset snd disappointed with my hubby recently. Because i feel the negetive pressure from him. He did not want to see me get tired and leave the house chores for him to do.He makes me feel that i should not have the baby. I feel so depress......
