Yes, this is my first and as far as being "hard to get pregnant in that age" I wouldn't know as I was not trying to get pregnant. And I have yet to hear any delivery story, no matter the age, where I thought,"Now that sounds easy."
I am 44 with my first!!!! Nrs2772 we are nearly due date buddies! ROCK ON!!!
It can be hard to get pregnant at 22 if you've got issues....Age alone is not a barrier and certainly I have not heard about an automatic 'hard to deliver' story for older moms....If you have medical issues, you may have trouble with pregnancy and delivery at ANY age...

Baby dust!!!!!!!
I thought....well, it is going to be hard to get pregnant at my age. I have been on birth control for ages. never had children. I consumed a fair amount of wine (alcohol is supposed to decrease fertility). So...when I get pregnant the first month off the pill...I was like..."WTF!"

That's the thing, you just never know how difficult or easy it will be to become pregnant and age alone is not a factor.

We are nearly due date buddies and yes, I agree, age alone does not dictate how your pregnancy will fair. I get a little irritated when some people seem to think anyone over the age of 35 is "ancient" and should not have a baby or they treat us as though we are some freak show at a circus. Both of my grandmothers had their last child in their late thirties as do many women, this has been going on since the beginning of time.

To a large extent, it is all relative. Perhaps society should look at the overall health of the women. There are 25 year old women who are in far worse health than many 40 year old women.

Yep me too. (But very early days and had a serious scare this week where thought I'd miscarried. I've got to go back next week for another scan so not counting my chickens... and not spending much time on the PG forums as a bit too scared to acknowledge I'm actually pregnant in case it doesn't last!)

Sending you all the best wishes LancyLass. Google is NOT your friend - stay away from any negative posts they don't do any good. We are all a positive bunch on here!

Yup, I banned myself from Google last week and so far I'm sticking to it! Mind you I banned myself from the PG forums too but decided to dare to sneak a little look today!

Sending prayers your way LancyLass. I found those first few weeks to be such a scary time. Make sure you come back on here and let us know when next week's scan comes back a-ok!

student midwife in need

Hello ladies,
I hope everyone is well and enjoying your pregnancies so far! I am a 3rd year student midwife from Edinburgh, Scotland and have joined this forum for some help! I hope you won't be annoyed I have joined but I have to make a poster and leaflet regarding 'Mothers over 35'. I was wondering if any of you have any stories in the way you have been treated. Have there been any prejudice/discrimination against you because you are older? It is mainly aimed at first time mum's but if any of you have a story I would love to hear it so I can develop a theme. My poster will most likely be aimed at Midwives to inform them about care and management for women over 35. Please help if you can. Thank you!!!
Melanie

I know I'm late on this post but yes. I'm 36 and this is my first child. I noticed I get surprised looks or raised eyebrows from the nurses and medical assistants at my OB. I spoke to a nurse over the phone and she sounded surprised too.
