48 and pregnant

I just found out that I am pregnant yesterday. I'm 48 already have 4 other children and I have a few medical conditions. One is hypothyroidism but under control. The other is high cholesterol due to genetic disposition and the other is anxiety.  
What should I expect. I actually thought I was about to go into menopause. So I want to be happy through my fear.  Anyone have advice? ??
