surprise!

I am 39 years old, was told my entire adult life that conceiving children would not be an option... here I am at 25 weeks along, only knowing for two days now! I am single, have an amazing support system, but I am very scared. My first official Dr appt is Tuesday. Any advise, things I must know, expect, anything? I am so shocked, amazed, and excited right now....yet I feel like a deer caught in headlights...Thank you for any info you can share!

Congratulations! The app helps a lot with what to expect in physical changes. You are halfway there but it doesn't matter because you still have a lot of time for it to sink in. Being scared, even if you were expecting it, is normal.

Congrats!! I know exactly how you feel , except it was my husband that was told he would never be able to make a baby ever 0% chance the specialists said (several times after several testings years apart) we were told to buy sperm if we wanted to have a baby as that would be the only way it would happen. we decided to not buy sperm and just continue life as it was and now we are 16wks 3d pregnant. :) so congrats momma we understand :)

Thank you so very much! I have crazy movement (told myself for the last couple weeks it was gas...) it is funny, all of the symptoms I have clearly had! I feel silly now, but for 20 years I have prepared to be childless

First off congratulations. You should start feeling kicks any day now. They will take blood and do an ultrasound and you will be able to see if you are having a girl or a boy
