I'm 46 years old and hoping to become pregnant, unless I already am! Feeling some apprehension about carrying a child at my age, have a 23 and 26 year old at home still, so it's been a while. Anyone out there tell me what it's like? ... I also worry about birth defects, what can one do to stay positive?ects are a worry too. ↓

Hey Carolyn i'm 43 and expecting my second child. Like you it's been awhile my other is child is 22. I'm two months along and it's much harder this time. My morning sickness is really bad and i pretty much just stay home a lot. I can't really seem to stomach to much food right now. Have you taken a pregnancy test yet? ↑
