January 2013 babies!!! Happy New Year!

[Celestine]

Hi Ladies,

I have been waiting for a January 2013 baby thread for those over 35 and surely I cannot be the only one!

Who's in?

I'm 41 and pregnant with my 1st. Looking to start a thread for those ladies over 35 and due in January so we can give each other support!

Hi,
Congratulations, I'm 36 on monday, just discovered I'm expecting baby number 5 in January, my kids are 15, 9, 7 and 5, the 2 younger ones are delighted, the older 2 not so pleased, so happy to be pregnant, but gutted by their reaction, feeling abit upset and hormonal by it all the minute, but hey! x

 

[Celestine]

Congrats to you Miley and Happy Birthday!! It was getting kind of lonely in here. What a wonderful range in age of children. I'm sure the older two will come around soon enough but glad the younger two are excited. That certainly makes it easier! Did you tell them right away?

I went to the Dr. today for a scan and saw the heartbeat...was so amazing. I was dumbstruck. January 2013 can't get here soon enough. DH and I have been trying for 3 years and this feels like such a blessing.

I'll sit in the January corner with you guys! I'll be 36 in August, this is number 4 for me (17 girl, 12 boy, 9 girl). Second time around for both hubby and I, he has 3 children also (20 boy, 17 girl, 15 boy). Hubby had a vasectomy reversal last June and we were starting to worry that we'd never concieve naturally ... Just as we "gave up" and stopped obsessing, VOILA! It happened! We are over the moon! Baby is due on 11th January

[crazymam]

Hi I'm 42 and due baby no 5 jan 13th , I already have four gorgeous daughters, 18, 14 and twins aged 9. They don't know yet, can't believe I'm scared to tell them haha

 

[Celestine]

ChattyB- Pretty amazing that it happened when you least expected it. Congrats!

babydusting- (love the name) I pray that you have a sticky lil' bean!!! Wishing you also have a H&H 9 months.

crazymam- I've heard if you had twins previously the changes are greater that you will have another set! Is that an old wives tale? Either way, congrats!!

Hope we all have a very healthy 9 months!!

 

[crazymam]

Celestine you are quite right, my chances of having twins are higher! Also I was told last time the more pregnancies you have and older you are also increases your chances of having a multiple birth! Off to docs this morning so expecting to be booked in for an early dating scan.

Congrats to all!

Due sometime in January with my third--haven't even gone to the doctor yet. Had a miscarriage at the beginning of last month, so this is very happy news. But very hidden news for now, too. Afraid of what might happen again, even though it probably won't.

Have a feeling older kids (they will be 14 and 6) will be none too pleased with the news, but hoping I'll be wrong!

So far, symptoms include migraine, some dizziness, cramping, bloating, tiredness.

For those of you with kids that outnumber the parents, what's it like? DH is so nervous!

 

[Taurus8484]

Hi All, I will be 38 on Saturday, 5 weeks pregnant with my first...

Hubby and I are feeling excited but cautious still.

Bit worried as I have no symptoms yet, some cramping and bloating and thats about it. Oh, and gassy!!! Sure they are on their way or Im just very lucky!!!

Due 19/01/2013

 

[ssjad]

Hi! I'm here too! I'm 36 and have three kids - 10, 17 and 18. My partner is 53 and has four kids - 11, 14, 17 & 19. We had a miscarriage in March and this bubby is due January 3rd.
Nice to meet you all!!

 

[chattyB]

How's everyone this morning? Feeling pretty good here! Bbs are incredibly sore and I feel like I've been hit by a train by 3pm .... SO exhausted. Getting a few "funny turns" now and then, feeling a little dizzy if I get up too quick, and the odd wave of nausea. Any else feeling boiling hot in bed? I spend the night throwing off bedclothes and waking up to grab them when I get cold lol.

 

[Luckystar]

Hi everyone!

I am 40 in August and (cautiously) pg with my 2nd. My DD will only be 19 months when this one is due, which is 7th Jan .

It's fab to have this thread, so thank you!

Symptoms are different this time, no sore BBs just a bit tired. Secretly wishing I had more symptoms, just to reassure myself . I've got my first midwife appt on Mon

Wishing you all lots of

 

[crazymam]

Well I much more tired with this pregnancy, and think I am going to need new bras much sooner! very sore
I have first midwife appointment monday, and feeling weird sensations in my tummy, probably wind

how do I add a ticker?

 

[mandmandp]

Luckystar, I like that description--cautiously pg. I'm already looking ahead to the 12 week milestone, and feeling oddly grateful for any symptoms!

chattyb-- can't seem to get the covers right either. Definitely feeling warmer than usual all the time.

Anyone else waiting a while before letting the other kids know?

 

[ssjad]

My partner told his kids already. I haven't told mine yet. Luckily they don't see each other (his kids refuse to have anything to do with me :/) so there shouldn't be a crossover of information.
I'm going to at least wait until after my ultrasound next week. With the last pregnancy that I lost the oldest two were happy and my ten year old was very unhappy. She's basically been the baby for a long time now!

 

[mandmandp]

Feeling so nauseous today...that's a good thing, right?

There's nowhere I'd less like to be than work right now.

 

[felicity0444]

Hi ladies! I will be 36 in Nov. My husband is 38. We have a 15 yr old and a 16 month old. After a miscarriage in March we decided to try right away, and we did it! I'm 7 weeks and due between Jan 2nd- Jan 8th! We are crossing our fingers this one sticks. Had my first appointment/scan. Everything looks good! Heard my sweet baby's heartbeat We are waiting to tell just about everyone until we get to the 12 week milestone, but it can't come soon enough!!! This will be our last one, so we are really hoping this goes well....Congrats to everyone!

 

[mandmandp]

Congrats Felicity!!

I have a teenager and a preschooler, so I think this might be it for us too! Both hubby and I are 36, but will be 37 by the time this one's here.

 

[gaer]

I am 38, preg with unplanned #4... with unknown health issues under investigation. My kids are 2, 14 and 17 (graduating this year too)
I am thinking I am due mid Jan, 2013.
I saw my Dr regarding other tests and told him I am PG. He said I have to book my prenatal next week. He did send me for a gallon of blood work at least.

Congrats ladies.
