So, unexpectedly, here I sit 21 weeks, very bumpful and healthy. I was initially devastated, very scared of the increased risk of problems and felt irresponsible getting pregnant at my age.
Midwives, friends and family have been so supportive - treating me normally.... because that's what I am! Only extra thing we have done is have the nuchal fold scan at 13 weeks - all was fine.
The stats tell us there are more risks at 45+, but they also say you still have much more chance of all being OK than not.
