Im 41 and pregnant!

[rockermommy]

Hi everyone! I am 41 and just found out I am again pregnant (4 weeks)! I am so happy, but really scared. Here's a bit of history......At 27 I had an abortion because the man i was with was not ready to be a father and I didn't want to raise the little one on my own. I felt it wouldn't be fair to raise a child with one parent. Many years later, at 39 I met the man of my dreams and shortly after we got maried. In December 2010 I found out I was pregnant, but ended up having a miscarriage at around 10 weeks. Now I am REALLY scared! I want everything to go well this time. Does anyone have any pointers, suggestions, anything for me? Or has anyone else out there had this same experience? I don't want to experience that type of loss again (miscarriage). Thanks!

Thanks for checking up on me! My husband and I go to get our ultrasound done on Thursday.I will be 6 weeks and a couple of days.  I am both nervous and excited to see everything. He says it hasn't all "sunk" in yet, hopefully when he sees the baby on the ultrasound (like last time) it will! :) I am trying to eat well....craving tostadas for some reason...lol! Everythng else is good, my breasts are not as sore as they were (don't know if that is a good sign or not) and I haven't gotten any morning sickness (as I did not before either)....so hopefully everything is still ok. No bleeding this time either :)

Sending you lots of luck on this pregnancy.  This is unfortunetly no way to guarentee that nothing will happen.  If it's a good egg, it will stick.  
The good news is that you are conceving naturally.   Best Wishes to you!!

congrats on your pregnancy! :)   I would just suggest taking it easy, relaxing as much as your life will allow, and putting your feet up when you can.   Just let that lil one snuggle in tight!    I hope you have a successful, uneventful pregnancy this time!

Hugs!
