pregnant and confused

I'm 40 and last week I found out I was pregnant.  Very unexpected.  I have 3 sons already ages22, 20 and 10. My fiancé is not exactly supportive.  I'm very scared and feel very alone.  I don't think my older children will be too please. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you ladies for sharing. I'm praying that things will turn around but either I'm keeping my little one.

I really understand your circumstances. I am 36 with 2 children ages 22 and 16. We just got our first grandchild in Jan and in Dec I found out I was 13 weeks. Now at 26 weeks our kids are super excited about the baby coming esp since its a boy and we have girls already. I dont think reality set in for my husband either until the 20 wk scan when we found out its a boy now he's excited too

Im 34 almost 35 pregnant with my guy of 8 years who is 59! Who has 3 adult childern from prevuous marriage ages 19, 26, and 30!!! And i have a 10 yr old son from a previous relationship! He not to thrilled nor still has told any one in his family! But i know he will be different onces its a reality! Im 26 weeks and showing! Im scared though how he will be if his kids shut him out because if this! I thought long and hard on my choice to keep this pregnancy! I just asked myself is this something im strong enough to do on my own and i decided it is!!! My choice! Yes it hurts not having the support but i made the choice as if I was in this alone! So i was not as crushed and heart broken when I did not get the support and happiness from him during my pregnancy!
