40 and Pregnant!

My husband and I just found out last week that we are expecting our 2nd baby! 👶🏼We have an 11 year old girl 👧🏻that has always begged for a sibling. We’ve been trying for 4 years and just didn’t think it would happen. So we were kinda trying but still definitely surprised when we found out! It’s been a roller coaster of emotions of feeling blessed and scared. We’re so nervous to start all over again and to be the “old” parents of their friend groups! 👵🏼

Congrats!!! I had my last daughter when I was 35 and all went well. I definitely got tired a lot easier than I had when I was younger and had my other 2 kids. but I just tried to love every moment of the pregnancy, good or bad because I knew it would be my last pregnancy. I bet your 11 year old is excited to be a big sister!!

Congrats! Parents are getting older nowadays as women hold off for careers among other things, so I wouldn’t worry about being the old parents 😉

I'm 34 and I have a 14yr, 9yr and 4 week old ^.^ Big age gap and it's certainly felt like we started from scratch again. Definitely easier when I was in younger but its all worth it ☺️

I waited to have my one and only baby at 33. My cousin, 44, just had 2 babies in the last couple years! Back to back. She is healthy and doing great. It seems it’s becoming way more common in this day and age. Good luck to you and your family! ❤️

Congratulations! I’m 40 with an 18 year old and an 8 month old. Lol talk about starting over 😅 I went from being the youngest parent to now probably the oldest. You’ll be fine though! Tired lol but fine. 😂
