Can't believe I've only just found this thread! I'm a 39 year old 1st timer who very luckily got pregnant straight away. Reading through all the posts I too had many Mr wrongs until I met the unlikely Mr right a whole 9 years younger than me also all the ups and downs of pregnancy are so familiar, especially the anxiety of the 1st tri, which i think is especially tough when you're a bit older.

Anyway congrats to all of you ladies with your pregnancies, I'm due the beginning of November and still can't quite believe I've made it this far

Hello all,

Also posting in the due May 2013 thread but as this is my first pregnancy and I'm 37, this thread and the first time mommies over 35 thread next (all going well) seemed appropriate.

We were TTC for 7 months and had just approached a doctor to start fertility investigations when I fell pregnant anyway. Still early days yet for us, though, so trying to keep it quiet, but we're so excited we just want to tell everyone!

Same! 36 year old first timer who found her bestfriend after going thru every Mr. Wrong she ever met. And he's also 9 years younger. It seems its a good gap! We hadn't planned babies for another 2 years or so and this baby is a very welcome but sudden shock. I feel blessed. I look at everyone TTC and feel almost guilty. Only just discovered this thread and I hope you'll have me. Baby and bump has taken over from Facebook addiction and I learn so so much from all the mummies on here! I love the fact that there is no such thing as a silly question!

 

[charlie15]

Congrats kat, yeah it's a really informative site, I've also learnt so much that i never knew about pregnancy and I hope it'll be just as useful once bubs is here as think that's when I'll really need it!!

Hi all
I'm 37 and pregnant after a loss- fingers crossed that this little one will be a sticky. we've been NTNP since May this year and i'm currently 9+5 weeks. Just waiting on my midwife appt.
Ive been a lot more symptomatic this time, tired, nausea, sore Bbs. I've had lots of bloating feeling, some mild aches but nothing like before.
Will be glad when i get to that 13 week mark!

hiya

im new on here and looking for people to chat to......im 32wks now, how are you? and how far along are you?

 

[KittiKat76]

Well the highlight of my day so far has been buying maternity pads. How sad! But its officially the first thing in my hospital bag! Saving most of the shopping til I start maternity leave in 3.5 weeks. Scared of being bored and going into work and begging them to let me do something!
First day off work for 6 days and I can't find the energy to move from sofa. I guess cleaning can wait.

 

[charlie15]

Hi AJ74, welcome to B&B, it's nice having a section for us oldies! but it's very slow moving but people are still here. Have been told about a nice forum for the over 35 1st time mums in the lounge area, so you know once you've had your baby....think i'm going to need all the advice I can get!

About shopping, I think I'm done with that now, i really have such little energy and sleeping is becoming a challenge!

Hospital bag packed! just need to get motivated to clean and do some sorting of the house!

 

[Runlikeagirl]

Thank you! Right now sleeping and eating are all I want to do!!!

HEllo Maybeason!!! I'm 36 and usually VERY active with running and weight training..... I got my BFP 9/4/12 and my first appt last week... saw my sticky bean and a flickering HB of 156 But I swear ALL i do is sleep and I only eat beacause I know the baby needs the nutrients~ I'm 8+2 and everyone keeps telling me the 2nd trimester is much better!!!!! Hoping we regain our energy~~~~

You will! i was exactly the same in 1st tri which i found really frustrating too as normally active at gym and running, also had no appetite either. All became much better for me after 10 weeks when i felt human again. Everyone is different but you should start feeling better in a few weeks

Congratulations. I didn't have trouble eating But had a terrible time sleeping thru most of the pregnancy. It never got better ! And I am a fitness instructor / personal trainer and worked out until 4 days before he came. I actually tried to evict him with 2 hours of Zumba but still didn't work ! He loved mommy's tummy . Had to ended up having a induction that turned into an emergency c-section. Important thing is that he is here. And I love my little man.
Oh, and by the way, the second trimester was the best!!! Third was the hardest!

 

[KittiKat76]

3rd is definately the hardest! Uncomfortable due to babys position, symptom spotting, hard to sleep, hard to be on your feet all day at work. Agghh

 

[julesjules100]

Eeek, not looking forward to third tri then if its the toughest!

I'm just getting to the end of first tri and while I've been super lucky with sickness (only just really starting with it now in week 10 and incredibly mild), the insomnia is killing me, despite being shattered all the time. I never used to wake to pee but now I do between 4am and 6, after that I can't get back to sleep. Less of an issue on the weekend as I can nap but quite full on night after night when you have 10 hours at work each day and are getting between 4-6 hours sleep...

I haven't been working out in first tri (do normally but I have been WAY too tired to do it). That coupled with the appetite of a horse has meant that I have now gained 6lbs in my first tri. I need to nudge that down a bit now as it's too much. Have over the last week started brisk walking again but it's really all I had the energy to do. Hopefully in second tri my energy will improve and I will be able to try some lighter work outs in the gym again.
