I'm 34 today and just found out I'm pregnant!

Mypreciouskid · Mar 5th, 2012, 12:16 PM

I'm 34 today, is it ok if I hang out here? I haven't had a baby in almost 6 years and I'm very nervous. I don't know what to expect this time, at my age. I'm wondering if my OB will recommend an amnio?

I really look forward to chatting with all!

Congrats to you! An amnio will certainly be your choice and your choice only if that sort of testing is something that is important to you.

I am 41 and pregnant with my first and I chose not to have an amnio after having an n/t screen and bloods at 13 weeks. Though not diagnostic as an amnio is, I was happy with the numbers (risk assessment only) that were put in front of me to have made the decision not to go forth with an amnio. Im sure some other ladies will chime in with their experience and you will find this is a small and very supportive group.

Welcome and again, congrats and wishes for a happy and healthy 9 months!

Oh, and a very Happy Birthday to you!!

I agree what a lovely birthday present. Amnio is personal choice but you are usually given a fair indication of your odds with the bloods and NT scan. My odds were 1 in 20,000 which is as low as you can get! I'm 38 with a daughter who turned 13 today and a 10 yr old son...all new for me again but these ladies are fantastic supports. Congratulations hun. X

Welcome to the board Heidi and congrats! I'm 41 and this is my fourth. I have a 17yr, 13yr and a 7yr, so it's been awhile for me too. It's seems odd, but everyone is so excited. I can't believe I only have 4 wks to go!! LOL, give or take, depending on when baby decides to come.

I, too, didn't have amnio. Or any screening at all for that matter. It's in God's hands, and we'll deal with any problems when/if they occur. Good luck, whatever your choice.
