I can't believe that I've made it to 2nd Tri \O/ I am blessed. MS has been gone for a number of weeks, I feel my engery coming back day by day, and have a little bump (this is my first pregancy) overall I feel good. Still can't believe it though, it's all surrel for me.

Hi there ladies and congrats to you all. So I wanted to introduce myself as I think I will need some ladies to talk to over the next 9 months.

I just found out last Monday and its been an exciting shock!

My hubby and I have been married for 6 years now, we got married kinda later and pretty much said "no kids". Well, about a year ago I guess my biological clock started ticking and I wanted a baby. I told DH and it took him a while to get over the shock and bless his heart he got on board. We decided to go ahead soon as I am 36 and he is 46. We simplystoped trying not to and boom. I definately thought it would take longer.

It happened over our thanksgiving vacation and got 2 BFP last Monday. By my best guesses (I'm pretty regular), I will be due around Aug. 18th. Called the Dr. they wanted to get me in 6-8 weeks so first apt in 12/27, can't wait!

We haven't lived where we are for very long and don't know many people (guess this is a way to get to know some huh?) so I am a bit nervous. I hate the fact that due to my age I will automaticlly be consitered 'high risk', although I have read on here it has it benifits.

Here we go......

Congrats dewcob!!! The waiting for appts is the hardest in my opinion!
How are you feeling?

So far i seem to be 'text book' as far as symptoms go. First my boobs were killing me, a bit of queasiness, heart burn, crampy, hungry (but no) and tired (but can't sleep).

Heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time yesterday ... I am over the moon with glee! Next scan is Jan 18th (just before my 38th b-day) at which we will find out what the sex is of the baby. Soooooo excited. Oh and picked up some sweet mat clothes over the weekend. 1 pair of jeans and 2 pairs of dress pants for work

Hi! I will be 41 in 3 weeks and I JUST got my 1st BFP! No idea what I'm doing now that we've finally done it (3 IUIs with Femara and then injectables)!

Hey, congratulations! I laughed because that sounded like our story! Got married in my 30s, agreed to "no kids" but didn't exactly prevent it, either. When I turned 40 this past January, I had just finally graduated Summa Cum Laude with a History degree at Temple University, and suddenly I felt it: I wanted a baby! Made a few off-hand remarks to DH and one day he sat me down and said, "What's going on with all these baby references??" He had trouble imagining himself as a father, but it turns out he was having similar feelings as me! He just had to acknowledge them and get over his fears of fatherhood. Once he did, we headed straight for a fertility specialist because we each had our own issues TTC. So here we are- got our BFP this week and we're over the moon!

 

[AngelUK]

Congrats! I am 42, so got my BFP when I was 41 and we had IUI done as well. As you can see we have twins! And though it is hard work, I have never been happier or more in love As for what to do now, you'll figure it out but in the mean time this site was always a tremendous help to me. Hope it will be to you too!

Congratulations.

And very pretty and cool profile picture.

We got to see our little one for the first time today. 'Tot' was just a few foggy blobs but it reall made it real for real. The heart beat was 113 bpm and all seems well. They took a ton of blood ( surprised I had any left. Lol) and sent me home with way too much reading material. Back on 1/31 for first trimester screening now to just be as healthy as possible and hope for good growth and no problems.

Congrats to Trinity on hearing your baby's heartbeat for the first time!
Congrats Dewcob on seeing your baby for the first time!

Thanks for the compliment,Dewcob! I made the hat and dress. I'm a historical costumer (though not a re-enactor, so I can have some leeway with fabrics and construction methods!). My favorite era to make gowns is the 1880s (late bustle era), and I need to figure out how to make late Victorian era maternity gowns!
