Over 35 and first pregnancy?

Forums New posts
I'm 36 and just found out we are pregnant with our first! I'm so excited and happy! :D
 
Aww congrats and welcome to this board! :D
 
I am not pregnant, nor am I yet 35 or older (I'm 33), but I had a mmc in July at 10 weeks, and had a D&C. DH and I have been trying desperately to conceive ever since, and I have an appointment on Dec. 19th, hopefully to begin some testing.

I just want to pop in, and tell all of you pregnant ladies congratulations, and how much I enjoy this thread. It gives me such great hope to know that it is still possible for DH and I. I know in the end, our ability or time to conceive depends on the Lord's plans for us, but we still can have hope, you know?

I just love your stories. Thanks for sharing your experiences, and I hope to be joining you in your journeys to having your first child!

At 33, your chances are excellent. Good on you for being proactive and beginning testing now. Good luck to you!

I love your attitude! I'm so sorry for your loss, but I couldn't agree more with you that God has a plan for you (and me!). I hope the testing brings you to a BFP! :)
 
I'm 36 and preggers with our first too! I will be 37 before the baby is born. I'm thinking #2 will have to be tried for pretty soon after as I would like 2 before I am 40. I, too, like these threads as they all give me hope and I feel the support from everyone! H&H 9 months everyone! :hugs:
 
Hey ladies, hope I can join y'all. I am 35 (36 in a few weeks) and pregnant with our first after a MC in May. I think because of my MC have been worried that my symptoms aren't enough if you will.....I know crazy. I go for my first scan next week so trying to stay positive until then.
 
Welcome ladies!

I hope all goes well at your scan, want2b!
 
Hi all,

Just found this site, thankfully, cause I was starting to freak out a bit. Pregnant with our first & I am 45! We weren't trying, nor were we trying not to, but we are on :cloud9:!!

Had my first appt. with my GP last week & she confirmed with her own pee on a stick what my home pee on a stick said...we're pregnant! :happydance: My initial OB appt. got bumped today, what's with babies wanting to be born?? :winkwink: I thought we were going to get our 1st ultra sound today & confirm everything was normal.

The only symptoms I have had, so far, are mild nausea (almost constant) and sore, growing boobs. So when in the last couple days the boobs seem to be shrinking and don't really hurt I am freaking that something has gone wrong! Nausea is still there, & I keep telling myself it is my friend.

BUT after reading the threads on this site about pregnancy symptoms coming and going my mind is more at ease. Thank you. Been doing a lot of research on the net & well it can be a scary place.

They rescheduled the US for monday, but I still don't have the initial OB appt for another week after that. With all you hear about 'advanced maternal age' problems I am a bit nervous.

Thanks for listening.

Hi, welcome and a huge congrats!! I noticed you are in AZ, I am as well! I am 40 (41 next month) and also pregnant with my first (we tried unsuccessfully for 8 years and stopped trying when I turned 40, go figure...)
 
Thanks Gia... I'm up in the high country as you low landers say. Congrats to you as well.

HH9mo!
 
I've been lurking here but just decided to go heck with it and register. I'm 37 and 28 weeks. Hubby and I have been married 12 years. I just discovered I had Endo a couple years ago and seven months after a successful operation, we are pregnant with our first. I actually hope to carry 1-2 more in the next 5 years, which I know is going to be hard but hey, it is well worth it.

On top of it being our first, I personally am a little nervous because I've never been especially drawn toward kids. Not out of personal choice; I was just never around them much. I didn't babysit and both hubby and I are kinda loners. My friends with kids all moved away and I never made new ones. At least not close ones. So I'm a little nervous about who our LO is going to play with and how my maternal instincts will fare.

But we are both happy as bumblees :)
 
Welcome Cleo! I worry sometimes about how I will be with my kids as I feel awkward sometimes with my nieces/nephews but I have faith that it will come when my baby arrives. That's hard that you don't have any close friends with kids. Have you thought about mommy & me groups after the baby is born to connect with other moms? Otherwise it will come when your kids start preschool or kindergarten cuz of the birthday parties. Plus you always have us girls from BNB to talk to!! GL and I'm sure you will be great parents!
 
I found a website for families in my area that has play groups and other resources on it. I'm going to give that a try, and also find a good church. I will be a stay at home mom and I have always wanted to try charity work so I think now, or at least within the next year, is a really good time to start.

I also have a cousin who just had her first also at 36 years old. We don't live in the same state but we are close and talk frequently. It helps ALOT. I keep sending her gifts and telling her she's my guinea pg ;-)

Thank you for the welcome!
 
Hey ladies, I hope everyone is doing well. I just got a call from my clinic and will be going in tomorrow afternoon for an early OB scan, so I will let y'all know how it goes afterwards. So I have started having nausea throughout the day that seems manageable as long as I snack all day long (I know what a problem to have snacking all day).
 
Congratulations Everybody... it's been a while since I've been on here.... can't believe how fast pregnancy is flying by. Baby's going to be here before I know it!
