Pregnant and 46

I just turned 46 and am pretty sure I am pregnant. I have been reading all I can on pregnancy at my age, and am trying to stay positive. I have a 13 year old and 10 year old, both very healthy pregnancies. I know I am considered "high risk" but all the things you here is that I am a very high risk for an abnormal child. I am very healthy and live and eat a healthy life style, I look and feel like I am 35-38... should I be as concerned as what I read?

Is First Years or Evenflo Breast Pumps Any Good?

When my son and daughter were born premature, the WIC offices where I lived provided a motorized Medella pump supplied from a medical supply store. Obviously this was very good. I know that Medellas are sold in Target but I also seen other brands. Is there an "off" brand ie, Evenflo, First Years, etc. that is comparable but without the price??

She Knows Now, Pregnancy, Motherhood Can Be a Lonely Place

Remember the question of would you attend the shower if yours was blown off? Briefly, I did not attend but I sent a gift on time. Anyway, she had the baby January and called me yesterday and we talked for almost 2 hours, I gave her a lot of tips to help her get organized which seems to be creating a lot of chaos for her.

Her spouse works, she's staying home. She...
