I am 39 years old.

I am 39 years old and I am 5 weeks pregnant. I have two boys 8 and 4 and half. Am I too old for third time pregnant?

Sue, congratulations! I'm 37 yrs old and 29 wks pregnant for the first time. I talked to my doc as well as did some research about coffee. It's ok to have 2 small cups a day. I usually drink just one in the morning but sometimes I have another one in the afternoon to survive a long day at work. Keep in mind that sodas, tea or chocolate also contain caffeine.
Wishing you all the best!!

Hi Ladies,
Is it to drink one cup of coffee every day. I love my morning coffee.  Thank for your all support.
Thanks,
Sue

I was born in 1975 and I am 38. I'm pregnant with my third,  seventeen years after my last. I have two boys, too. (Well, they're young men, now!) I'm thrilled to bits. I'm not too old and neither are you. You can really enjoy this it time around because you've done it all before. So, CONGRATULATIONS! Forget your age and have FUN!

I'm 39 and just had my third. There are more risks involved the older we get but they will monitor you closely -- or at least my ob did but everything went perfectly. Congrats. Wishing you a happy healthy pregancy!

I just had my third at 37! There's a 10 year gap between this one and my second son. I think i am more patient this time around, but i must say it is very tiring meeting the demands of a newborn, but i guess you get that at any age. Enjoy it, it truly is a blessing!

Obviously not, since you're pregnant.  Do you mean, will you be more tired taking care of three kids instead of two?  Sure.  But you plan for that.  You don't mean, will you *look* too old to other people?  No, you won't.
