Over 35 and first pregnancy?

[Torontogal]

I'm 35 and this is my first. I'm due May 6th, and am 5 weeks along. All of my friends have had kids already, so I feel a little alone doing this now!

LOL, me too, but the consolation prize is all the baby stuff I'll be getting handed down to me... looks like I'll barely have to buy anything - sweet!

Hi all,
I am 41 and expecting my first. I will be 42 when the little one arrives. I am just under 5 weeks. Due 15 May (I think)
I am so amazed i can't believe it.

I'm 37 and this is my first, after 5 years of trying and medical intervention. I am carrying a little boy.

LOL, me too, but the consolation prize is all the baby stuff I'll be getting handed down to me... looks like I'll barely have to buy anything - sweet!

Me too! I have a box of newborn - 9 months old clothes in the mail on its way to me, just got a changing table and a bunch of other items from a friend, and will soon get a pack n play and carseats, breast pump, etc from someone else.

Is anyone else in here that is over 35 and this is your first pregnancy? I am 39 and this is my first pregnancy. I am just wondering if anyone else is in the
"same boat" so to speak.

Oh my gosh. Is that your first? Its hard to get pregnant in that age and they said that it's hard to deliver.

Looks like you and my partner are on the same schedule- she's just over 5 weeks... Great to know there are others in the same situation - all the best!

I may be 34 (will be 35 when I deliver) and it is my first pregnancy...but I feel too young to have a baby!

I take it you are due in April? x

 

[April2012]

lol, yep. i feel completely clueless. I was never what you would call a motherly sort.

 

[DeeM73]

What date I'm the 21st x

 

[April2012]

EDD is April 15, 2012. Which doesn't seem that far away!

 

[DeeM73]

Yes, this is my first and as far as being "hard to get pregnant in that age" I wouldn't know as I was not trying to get pregnant. And I have yet to hear any delivery story, no matter the age, where I thought,"Now that sounds easy."

I am 44 with my first!!!! Nrs2772 we are nearly due date buddies! ROCK ON!!!
It can be hard to get pregnant at 22 if you've got issues....Age alone is not a barrier and certainly I have not heard about an automatic 'hard to deliver' story for older moms....If you have medical issues, you may have trouble with pregnancy and delivery at ANY age...

Baby dust!!!!!!!
