“Advanced age” and pregnant

Kimberly

I’m 42 and just found out I’m pregnant. 8weeks 4days to be exact. This was a shock but the nurse at my 1st appt didn’t help by always air quoting my “advanced age.” And what all will be different than when I had my last baby 16yrs ago. I guess it’s better than being called geriatric…lol but it’s not helping me get excited. Anyone else dealing with this? Due date is May 6th but said I will be induced 1-2 weeks early. So don’t know how to plan for that.
