Hi fairytoes

I haven't looked into them yet, I haven't booked my first antenatal yet either.
Still trying to believe I am pregnant .
But I have had bladder infection so on antibiotics as was getting a lot of pain in stomach lower back.
Feel so so shattered all the time

I do not think you are too old at all! I got pregnant @ 40 and had my son @ 41. I just found out I am pregnant again (I will be 43 in 6 days). Both were natural conception and I feel very blessed! I was nervous and scared with my first as well, that's completely normal. I actually ended up with a very easy pregnancy...no complications, no morning sickness, etc. Enjoy this time and the journey and don't spend a lot of time worrying about "what if's", just focus on "when the baby arrives..."

Hi,

I just had a baby in February 2013 at the age of 44. My 45 th birthday is next month and I will have a 4 month old baby. This is my first boy, I have 3 girls, 19,15,11. He is healthy and so was I.

I started trying at 42.5 years and felt pressured by my age. I took the doctors offer to take some meds. They worked but didn't produce pregnancy. I then rushed myself through IVF. It' didn't work. I ended up getting pregnant spontaneously. Probably didn't really need the help but was so worried I couldn't. Everything went well.

I am loving life with my little guy. My girls loove him and he is a joy. I look at least 10 years younger so people never question my age. I rather enjoy telling people I am 45 just to see their jaws drop. They so don't expect that.

Good luck and you are not too old.

Great story. Thank you! People like you give me hope, and I absolutely agree age is just a number, we're as old as we "feel".....but of course I worry my eggs don't know that lol. Enjoy this time!

I'll be 43 in November. A natural pg here too. I did use herbal supplements, vits/folic acid, ....grapefruit juice & Robi for CM... basically most of the little TTC tricks(Preseed lube, Softcup after sex) but no ART.

I did do accupunture and energy healing. I even thougtht about adoption but the waiting time was so long. My mom had me at 41 in the 60's on accident. Age is an interesting thing. Along the way I meant other older moms who had aspiring stories and I think that helped my attitude. There is nothing like a failed IVF and my 7 failed IUI's that made me get crazy. When I relaxed and did nothing I got pregnant.... The accupunture and massage plus I switched to a positive doctor. Took 14 months total to get pregnant. That really isn't too long at 43/44.

My doc says I was in the middle of her age. She was helping 45-47 year old other doctors get pregnant. She believes in using ones owns eggs as much as possible and not taking them out of the body. She also promotes DHEA but I never really took it that much.

I also had a friend who was 41, had a fourth baby and I visited her and held / smelled the baby. I swear that got me pregnant.... Somethimg about smelling a young baby up to 5 months. It's amazing.
