Over 35 and first pregnancy?

[tweety pie]

I am 40 and pregnant with our first and second (twins) conceived naturally.

Hello tweety! Congratulations on the twins. I would have been fine with twins but we are having one and that will be all for us.

tweety pie congratulations with the twins, how's your pregnancy been carrying 2?!

 

[tweety pie]

I am getting really fed up with waddling about now and the heat is getting me down i am only 5 ft 2 and weighed just over 8 stone and am now weighing over 11 stone but people keep telling me i look neat and that i don't look pregnant from the back, i sure feel it lol.
Because it is my first i don't really know if the pain etc is worse for twins than a singleton i have nothing to compare with.
You ladies will soon be here at 33 weeks is has flown by.

Congrats on twins and 33 weeks tweety pie

Angeluk Hi at how many weeks did you have your twins and what did they weigh? I think somedays that i will go to 38 and other days i wonder how i will get that far.

 

[AngelUK]

Hi Tweety Pie, I had them at 37 weeks by elective c-section as Sebastian was breach. Dominic weighed 3.074kg and Sebastian 2.896kg

 

[tweety pie]

They are going to induce me if they haven't arrived before 38 weeks. I would rather deliver naturally rather than a c section if possible.
One of my girls is breech at the mo but still plenty of time to turn.

Blimey that must be hard being small and carrying 2 and in this heat!! the heat isn't really bothering me, I have put on a lot of weight but only got a small bump at the mo. Come august though I hope it's less stuffy!!

Keep us posted on any developments with the babies arrival!

 

[tweety pie]

Hi all,
I'm 38 and just had a BFP this morning, period is 5 days late but I was 4 days late last month. We had been trying but then switched to NTNP. This month we BD'd a few days before I thought I would O but no more closer to that so this is unexpected had been trying previously for about a year. I'm really worried because this month I have been so focused on finishing my thesis I wasn't paying attention to folic acid or anything. And also I had a arthrogram MRI/XRay on my shoulder on the 10th of May which was the day after we BD'd and probably a day or two before O.

Since I got my BFP I have been crying, I just feel so horrible. I even drank this weekend. How could I be so careless I just never in a million years thought a BFP would come this month after all this time.

Hi try not to worry and wait and see what the doctors says regarding the xray and remember lots of ladies get pregnant and don't know straight away and have perfectly healthy babies.

Hi ladies! I've already been on this post before, but left because I suffered a miscarriage... so this isn't my first pregnancy, but I'm sure hoping that this will be my first sticky baby! I'm 36, and I found out I was pregnant a week ago and have already made it past the day that I miscarried last time, so I'm feeling pretty good about this pregnancy!

@Patooti - just remember that there are a ton of ladies who don't realize that they are pregnant until they are actively giving birth. There are a ton more that drink and do drugs and smoke actively throughout pregnancy. I think the big thing is the repetition. You know now, so now you can be careful! As for the x-ray... it was before ovulation so therefor before the baby was conceived! Try not to worry about it and just take each day as it comes. I'm a miscarriage survivor, so I know how much easier it is to say those things then to actually practice them, but my motto for this pregnancy is "I'm pregnant today and that's a great thing! Tomorrow will take care of itself." Hope that might help you too!

Hi Patooti, just had to say to you that before I found out I was expecting, I had been to a wedding in Switzerland with a friend, drinking lots of red wine and not taking my vitamins and folic acid as I had pretty much given up on the elusive BFP! We'd been trying for almost 9 months with little success so I really didn't think it was going to happen and I had decided to let my hair down! My MW told me not to worry as a one off event like that isn't going to be bad thing. Admittedly I felt exactly as you do but you can't unwind the clock so just be healthy from now on!
