I'm so happy for you about your pregnancy, congratulations!

Yes, you are right about heavy women being generally less fertile as

a population than women who are of a more normal weight. It is a

delicate subject, and I wish the fertility specialists would come

out and actually discuss this fact with women of substance. This

would save them much mental anguish trying to get pregnant and money

in fertility treatments that may never work until they loose a

substancial amount of weight and their hormone levels drop to normal.

Don't worry about your age. I had an older mother and never even

noticed she was so much older than my friend's mothers; this just

never occurs to a child, as a parent's age is irrelevant to

them...love, security, nurturing and nutrition are what a child

requires, and this can be given by the mother no matter what her age

[or even inabilities due to physical limitations of their body...my

mother was not only older but she was crippled, and it never

bothered me that she couldn't do the play stuff other mothers could

do...in fact, later on when I was 7 years old, I was proud of myself

when I could support and help her when she had my brother when she

was far into her 40's.]Just another thought for the day, Lynda
