Pregnant or ttc over 35 with teenagers?

[future_numan]

I suffered from the samething when pregnant with Emily and was told it comes back with every pregnancy.. but I didn't get it this time.
It started around week 26 last time so I held my breath waiting but thankfully it didn't show..
One thing they didn't tell me was that it is still sore after birth for a little while..I guess till all the joints tighten up again.
Try not to lift anything heavy ..

Oh really future??? That sucks it really hurts huh!!!
Well my husband had a scare yesterday he thought he was having a heart attack and rushed himself to the hospital, and after extensive tests thankfully was just a strained muscle near the heart they think but I'm just so happy he is ok coz he isn't a spring chicken anymore he is approaching 50 and he Is a little bit over weight not much but enough that it could affect his health soon so I'm going to put him and myself on a health kick after I have recovered from the baby!!! I want him around for a very long time and tbh I was really scared I was going to lose him yesterday well thankfully it all worked out in the end xxxx
38 weeks and 4 days.....
6 days to go woohoo no longer need to write in weeks only days now yay xxxx

How very scarey for you and your DH..
I know what you mean about worrying about DH health.
My DH is a cancer surviver and I am starting to notice little things from the treatments that are effecting him now as he ages..
Your so lucky 6 days
You might just beat me to the punch..
I think lil' man is comfy in there and in no rush to meet us..

Hello all,
I know most of you are in your third trimester... I'm just at 5 weeks right now... my DD is 15yrs old so it's been awhile since I was pregnant. I don't remember any morning sickness with her, but this week has been hard on me. Did any of you have it? what did you find helped with it? and most importantly.... did it go away 2nd trimester like it's supposed to??
Thanks Ladies!

There was 17 yrs between my last daughter and Emily so I understand.
I was lucky enough that I never suffered from MS till this pregnacy
and sad it never really ended. I have also found alot of foods make me ill at the thought of eatting them ( meat esp)
I lost 13lbs at the begining and have only gained 10lbs back..
I hope you don't have to suffer long

AFM, for the love of god what was I thinking trying to do all this stuff in one day
It was HELL..
The MW wouldn't check me but said that if I don't go into labor by the time I am 10 days overdue she will induce..that's May 18th !!!!!!
Oh lordy
I have my daycare kids back on the 21st
Please, please baby come this weekend..
My mom really wants to head to the cottage and is making me feel guilty by holding her back ( she is suppose to watch Emily while I deliver)
So I am trying to find someone else who can watch her for us.. either that I will just deliver baby alone at the hospital while DH stays with her..
I told my mom if I haven't had the baby by Sunday to just go..
It upsets me that she will jump for my brother but if I ask something of her she changes her mind if she finds something better to do..[/QUOTE

Hi Future... I'm just about to head to bed, but wanted to say I'm sorry your mom is putting you in such a rotten spot. Too bad she couldn't take your little one with her to the cottage! I hope your DH can be with you!

Thanks Phil

I don't think I would trust my mom alone with our toddler at the cottage.
She tends to have a scatter brain and since the cottage is right on the water, I would worry about her leaving Emily alone outside while she did something.. like cook dinner.
The lake scares me
My dad and step-mom has come to my rescue. They have offered to be on call for me.
I am more dissappointed with my mom more than hurt.
When she moved back in Jan. it was DH and I who were the ones to do it for her.. my brother stopped answering his phone and later had an excuse why he didn't help.. yet when he needs her , my mom drops everything and runs.. he called yesterday to complain he couldn't find some stuff ( cause mom put it away when she was there) and mom offered to drive the three hours to his house to find the stuff for him.. which would mean delying her trip to the cottage since his place is the other direction.

My mom said that she would take her computer so when I have the baby I am suppose to e-mail her.. she wants to know his name since we have kept it a secret..
DH basicly said we will " e-mail" her when we get around to it.. could be days after the birth.. since there is no connection at the hospital.

Hi Future,
Yay! for your Dad and Step-Mom coming to the rescue! It's important that we have our support systems with us when bring our little bundles into this world...
Too bad about your mom.... that sort of thing happens in my family, too, and you just sit back and scratch your head wondering how they don't see it themselves...
One day maybe she'll realize how many precious memories she's missed because of her misplaced focus.
I like your husband's idea of 'emailing' when you 'can'.... if she can't be bothered to be around, then obviously she's in no rush to be a part of it all? It's not like you won't be busy or anything....
I, for one, am happy to have found this forum and I am so excited for all you ladies who are so close to having your babies!
Here's to minimal drama in the last stretch!
Good Luck, Future....
phil.

When are you due, Phil ?

 

[mumof3girls]

I'm so happy your dad and step mum have come to the rescue, u are in the same boat as me with my mum actually walking away from us 3 years ago makes it really hard for me but thankfully my dad and step mum to be have said they will be there for us when bubs comes into the world shows who really cares at a time like this!!!
Well I have 5 days to go until that happens I wish I could have some time with my dh before it happens though coz I feel like I hardly see him he promised to take us to the organic market yesterday but because he was in hospital on Friday he had work to catch up on and couldn't so I doubt there will be anytime left now until Friday because he will want to finish everything before the baby is born sucks !!!!
38 weeks and 5 days..
5 days to go xxx

 

[Dorian]

Mum, glad your dh is ok. That must of been scary.

Things are going ok here. Isaiah has a hernia though it's common in premies/underweight babies though. Can't operate now though, have to wait till he's a bit bigger. Unless it gets bad, then they'll operate.

 

[mumof3girls]

Oh Dorian that's awful I have had a hernia and they hurt poor baby just give lots of cuddles xxxx

When are you due, Phil ?

Hi Future,
I am due January 5th, 2013.... but I'm telling all my family and friends that we are due on Jan 20th in case I'm late again. I was 4 days late with my daughter and everyday I got a call "have you had the baby yet?" it was frustrating!!
