Dear fatima66,

My accountant got pregnant at the age of 43 and now is raising a wonderful babyboy. She was afraid of the late pregnancy and went to consult a doctor before conceiving. The doctor perscribed her follic acid, vitamin D, calmness and lot of sex. I am sure that at the age of 42 you do not have any menopause symptoms so there`s nothing to be afraid of. If you take vitamin D you`ll have to be careful with the overdosage since ot does have side efffects. However your doctor will will perscribe you the appropriate vitamins and I believe you will have a wonderful baby with the simple pre-pregnancy doctor check and without spending lots of cash. I have read lots of materials prooving that children born form elderly parents are more intelligent and clever.

So don`t worry and go ahead. At the age of 42 you are not old at all, just the conrary - you`re wiser and able to raise and take good care of a healthy baby.

P.S. Just to add - after getting pregnant my accountat worked very hard till the end of the 8th month of her pregnancy. She spent at least 8 hours at the office, moved a lot because of the parking problem around her office building and now she`s preparing her one year son to become an accountant too
