over 35 and pregnant? Just a bit!!!

[Creative]

Hi
I'm 44 and just venturing back over here. I was here a year ago when I found I was pregnant ( serious shock) by the time me and my husband of 22 years and our three children 22, 19 and 13 had come to terms with it, we were all very excited and then disaster struck and I had a MC and have been trying since April last year to get pregnant. Finally I am pregnant and praying that this goes well.

Hi Creative, how far along are you?

5 weeks and a few days so not very far at all. Woke up this morning feeling really sicky which is a mixed blessing!

Sicky usually means good hormones so that can be good! Hope all goes well this time. MC can happen at any age, but like you I was so nervous first trimester. Still am and I'm nearing the end of second trimester. I'm 43 and all is going well. Lots of us 40+ have successful healthy pregnancies. This may be your time this time around.

Hi Creative,

Sorry to hear you are going through MS. I guess I am lucky in a way as I haven't had any morning sickness, but the lack of symptoms for me has worried me a little, especially lately. So I am going for an ultrasound this afternoon and hoping all is well.

I do hope all is well for you. The Ms is all day and night now. Mixed blessings!

Hi there,

How far along are you now? Regarding the MS, I have been told that ginger tea can be really good for abating the nausea and/or vomiting. So can peppermint and chamomile tea.

I am seriously lucky that I don't have or have had any of those symptoms, I am one of those people who if I start to vomit I need a doctor and an injection to stop me from going and going on. So it would be really hard. The only thing I can say is that it is most likely going to stop in a few weeks time and you will feel better.

I am now almost 17 weeks done (tomorrow) and I am certainly showing my bump now. I feel uncomfortable most of the time, like I can't sit down properly and going for a wee is difficult now too, the pressure the baby is putting on my bladder is almost too much, but so far I have not felt it kick, or I haven't recognised if it has. In a week from Monday I will see him or her on the 19 week ultrasound and hopefully it will position itself so we can tell what the gender is. I still think it is going to be a boy.

Hi Creative.... we are in a similar situation. My kids are 22, 19, and 15. Except for us we decided to try for another out of the blue a few years ago, and had a few bad endings. Then we stopped trying a year ago and had a big oops and I am pregnant again. I should be about 4+2 today, but am taking it one day at a time. This time though i had a super dark line on the frer, the other two times the line never got as dark as the control so maybe that is a good sign.

I wish you the best!
