There is reason to believe I may be pregnant - at 42! I have heard there is a greater risk of Downs Syndrome and other genetic conditions. I have greatly mixed feelings right now!

HI there! I am 43 and just had my sweet baby Scarlett. There are many testing options out there while you are pregnant if this is a concern of yours.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I have 3 older boys and have found that there is something so great about being an older mom. It is hard to explain... maybe the patience that comes with age - whatever it is being an older mommy is such a gift that I tear up at times with gratefulness.
