Congrats! My mother gave birth to me when she was 40, after a long ordeal with miscarriages, medical procedures and almost losing hope altogether. I think I did not turn out too bad, in terms of physical health definitely lucky so far - at almost 45 I've never had any major medical illnesses in spite of lots of self-destructive behaviors when I was younger. Being born after those struggles for my parents had the added benefit that they adored me to the best of their ability and gave me lots of freedom to become what I naturally wanted to.

I also have a good friend who has multiple sclerosis and had a gruesome journey with lost and abnormal pregnancies until she finally had two(!) so far completely healthy children in her late 30's/early 40's, with fertility treatment. They are now one of the happiest families I have known.
