Any 40+ mum's to be out there?

Hi all! Im very early days (3+6) with our third child. I have 2 DS who are 9 and 7. We are still in shock at how fast this had happened, I had the coil out on 8th February, got carried away on the 13th and bfp 24th!! 

I just turned 40 in December and although my other 2 pregnancies were great and uneventful I'm so worried my age will go against me this time. I definitely don't feel 40, I'm fit and healthy etc... 

Are there any other 40+ mum's to be who can share positive stories or share the added worries with me in these early weeks!

So excited bit also scared to be if that makes sense...

I had my screening bloods come back with a 1 in 5 chance of baby having downs the other 2 they test for came back very low risk. Yeaterday i had my amnio it wasnt a very pleasnt experiance but we wanted no so as to prepare our selves because no matter what we are keeping bubba. I have 4 others 21, 19, 15 and 11 plus 2 step children 29 and 25.
