Congrats and welcome hun! Just wanted to pop by and say all the best and may have a happy and healthy pregnancy! xxx

 

[oldbirdni]

ah thanks and same to you , god how scary is this ???? x

Congratulations! I'm 38 next week and due in March also. This will be my third child and my youngest is 7. So, in a way, I feel like I'm starting over a bit too. Seems like forever ago. The first trimester is so hard especially now being over 35. I hear so many negative things. Then I remind myself that their are plenty of women over 35 having happy, healthy pregnancies. Also, I've tried to stop reading and stay in the moment to enjoy it!

Anyway, welcome and again, congrats!

 

[oldbirdni]

And congratulations to you too , we can be bump buddies !! i am stopping myself checking out anymore websites cos all it does is worry me!! lol , I have now decided to just take it as it comes !!! just wish the boobs would ache a little less !!! :haha and i'm taking the cramps as a positvie too!!!

Congratulations!! I am 39 and pregnant with our first (after a missed mc last year) and yes it is VERY scary!!

Hopefully we can support each other through this! Honestly, I am terrified something is going to go wrong, it is so hard to relax

Hi Beachcomber and Animalcracker , great to have some bumpbuddies out there, I feel a bit like the grandma of the group at 44 , had given up any hope of conceiving , and felt terrible for my dp as he is 7 years younger than me and has no kids of his own , and although he's brilliant with the 3 I have I so wanted him to have just one of his own too and well fingers crossed it looks like I got what I wished for !!! I hope you all have healthy and happy pregnancies and if you need a chat anytime I'm here cos I'm sure I'm gonna freak out at least a thousand times in next few months and I'll need you to keep me sane !! Lolxxx

 

[Bambers]

Congratulations OldBird x x It is so exciting isn't it? I have a 20 year age gap between my first and second, so it will literally be like starting all over again.

Good luck to all you over 35 scrummy mummies. x x

I am sure we can keep each other sane! LOL! I will admit that due to the mc last year, I am really anxious to get through the first trimester safely..and the rest of the 40 weeks!!

How are you feeling? Any crazy symptoms? I only have nausea and sore boobs!

 

[oldbirdni]

I know exactly what you mean , I'm desperate to get past the dreaded danger time too , sorry to hear about your loss last year I'll have my fingers crossed for you all the way this time!!!
My symptoms are boobs that are so sore I could easily cut em off !!! Lol
Am soo tired that I feel like I haven't slept in days , although I'm not sleeping great to be honest as sleep pattern seems to have mind of it's own just now !!
But one thing that I'm finding is really strong stretch type pains low down in my grOin area and lower abdo, everytime I stand uP sneeze or walk too long ?? Lower back ache too which imfinding at bit unnerving but just taking each day as it comes just now and quietly ecstatic to have got thrOugh another day unscathed !!! X

 

[oldbirdni]

Bambers !! Sorry about that thanks butt

You and I are in same boat aren't we , hope I have at least half the energy we had then when this one arrives !!!! Xx keep me posted how your doing xx

 

[Bambers]

I am doing well thank you BirdNI...this pregnancy has actually gone smoother than my first one when I was a young snip of a 19 year old. I have the dreaded pregnancy heartburn and my hips get a bit achey but other than that...all seems well. x x

How are you getting on? Have you got the dreaded morning sickness yet?

I hope you're well.

I'm 41 and almost 18 weeks along with my first pregnancy (I have two wonderful step-children: 27 and 24). Ditto on the scary stuff - you have to filter what you read. Information is power, but it's also anxiety-provoking.

Relax and try to enjoy your pregnancy! I wish you all the best (I wish all of us the best)!
