This is my only viable pregnancy and most likely the only one I’ll have. DH has a 13 year old boy so the age difference has me concerned
Were in for an adventure!

I new baby AND a 13 yr old boy? You don't need advice, you need prayer!

My advice? Try to enjoy it, especially if you're not likely to have another one. The 13 year old boy shouldn't be an issue, he'll likely want nothing much to do with a baby!
Follow your doctor's/midwife's advice, rest while you can, and enjoy it. I hate being pregnant and struggled to enjoy it with both of mine, but the second the baby arrives it will blow your mind.

Agree with NH's advice! Hope you feel wonderful throughout. My first pregnancy was tough - my second was a pleasure. They're all different and I hope yours is great! I'll bet the 13yo will be ok. On one of the sister forums to this site a young man who has recently graduated high school has a brand new little brother and he is smitten!

My son was totally putty in his niece's hands after she christened him "Uncle Fuzzy" (full beard and curly hair)

Congrats!
My advice is to do whatever the h*ll you want
But in all seriousness: Take care of yourself, and use common sense along with government recommendations on pregnancy care. Many women get really guilty and nervous about what to eat, how they sleep, where they go etc etc. Especially if they've had miscarriages before. It's good to be aware and informed, but if you're healthy and everything is progressing well, try to relax.
Good luck my dear, each pregnancy is different and I hope this one is wonderful

No need to worry about your 13. Boys love to be looked up to. Remind him that girls like boys who are good with babies! my boys are 8 years apart. 10 and 2 now. It's awesome!

Well Kathleen Grace decided to grace us with her presence a whole 10 weeks early! She was 3lbs 4 oz and 15 inches long. In about an hour she’ll be two weeks old. Night before last she weighed one ounce above her birthweight and has been eating (via feeding tube) like a champ.
