Pregnant and scared to tell anybody

So here I am trying ivillage again.  I feel so all alone and don't know where else to go. I am 42 and pregnant with my third child due next March. (7 weeks and counting)  I have not told anybody except my husband.  We started late in life, 37.  My friends all have kids in college and can't relate.  My mom doesn't know why I want more children and thinks I'm too old that I should concentrate on the ones I have. Other people trying to conceive over 40 have told me to count my blessings and not to dwell on the fact I wasn't getting pregnant since I had two already.  (it took over a year to conceive this time around.)  I worry all the time about miscarrying or if this child will have developmental issues.  I also worry about having another C-section.  I think that's all the worry for today.  I'm sure there will be more after the doctor visit next Tuesday.  Thanks for reading.
