Family history of older mums?

[Seity]

My side of the family has a history of accidentally getting pregnant at 39. So, I'm being extra careful this year because we are happy with Gabriel being an only child.

lol I got accidentally pregnant at 39. I've got a 21 yr old and an 18 yr as well

The family curse continues.

Slowly coming to terms with the idea of two. I still freak out a lot when I remember how horrible that first year was with my son, but it's a done deal now, so nothing to do but accept and move forward. Physically I still feel great, so I'm hoping for another easy pregnancy, but praying for a much better baby this time.

I was totally in shock when I found out I was pregnant. I thought I was going through the menopause.

You know what they say. You never get two the same. I'm sure everything will work out just fine.

Feel free to DM me any time

I've recently been researching my family tree and I've been pleasantly surprised by how many of the females in my family were having children in their late 30s and into their 40s. Definitely gives me hope

My mum had me at 31 and my brother at 34... so not *really* late. But my grandmother had her at 40. I'm 36, pregnant with my first... and we conceived literally first time not using contraception. My partner is 48, so we were expecting to have to practice for quite a while!

this thread is awesome lol

My mother had my brother when she was 36 and my sister had her first child at 39. I am a few days away from my 43rd B'day and I got my BFP 8 days ago.

My Gran was 42 when her youngest was born and I had my first at 41 and second at 42. However, I think I might just have scraped through the finishing post in time as my cycles had decreased from 28 to 26 or so days before number 1 and as little as 24 days after number 2. And then all of a sudden, I'm on 34-35 day cycles. From using OPKs, my FSH is suddenly in the background all the way through my cycle. I suspect that the menopause is probably imminent, despite my Gran not having it until she was in her fifties (I'm 43)

Not my side, but my DH's side. His mom's mom was 38 for her first, 42 for her 3rd. His dad's mom had 9 kids but the last 3 were in her 40's last being 44/45. My SIL's one had her first at 38 and the other had her second at 40. So I guess I'm young with having my 4th at 35.
