Will be 37 due in April 2016 anyone else?

[Hopeful1479]

Hello everyone, I am Brittney 36 (37 in January) and I am due in April of 2016. This is my second, actually got pregnant on my first month of trying, which really caught me off guard!! I have a beautiful little girl who will be 2 in October. I am opting out of a lot of the genetic testing this time around as it made me mad the first time around. I had a sono at 6 weeks as I was bleeding but all is well, I will be going for a listen to the heartbeat on Wednesday this week, which I am excited for as the first trimester drives me crazy with so few symtoms in my case. Hope to get to know some of you due in 2016!! Happy pregnancies to all!

Me.
I'll be 37 in November and due at the beginning of April.
This is my 6th child and very much unplanned. I was so done having children and not prepared for this. I'm tired!
I'm opting for every bit of genetic testing that I can lay my hands on, I'm really worried about the increased risks as I have to consider the children that I already have.
I've got a scan this morning at 9.30am which I'm dreading.
Not enjoying this pregnancy at all.

Sorry, that all sounded a bit low didn't it

Me too. I turned 37 in May. I am also due in April. This is our first. It's taken 10 years and 4 IVFs to finally get our first BFP. Booked in for a scan on the 9/9 with the clinic and all being well will be handed over to the local service for future scans/monitoring.

Well congrats on having a 6th and I am sorry you are so nervous and have anxiety about this one, that can not make for a happy pregnancy at all! I am just the opposite I have opted to not have any testing done as with my first back in 2013 I had it and it only made me crazy with the numbers and chances and "what ifs" so not this time around. The first trimester is annoying enough. Well keep me posted on your scans and testing, I have my fingers crossed for you!!

CONGRATS to you!! Its been a long journey, I so happy that you finally got your BFP, I hope you can enjoy every moment of your pregnancy. Let me know how your scan goes, its very exciting, I will get to hear the hearbeat tomorrow which will make me feel better, the first trimester drives me nuts, just want to get past it. Best of luck on this journey!!

Bet you can't wait to hear the heartbeat. I can't wait to see that everything is ok next week. Too early to hear a heartbeat for me though. I'm dying to know if it's one or two we are carrying. We had two embryos transferred at day 5. We saw them both on the screen before they went in-two blobs of multiple cells. Strange to think we will have seen them from that stage right through. They normally only transfer one at that stage due to risk of multiple pregnancy.

Keep us up to date on your scan too.

You may not get to hear a heartbeat but you should be able to see it! I had an emergency sono done at 6 weeks because of vaginal bleeding and saw the baby and the heart beating, so yo may get to see the same thing!! Twins would be exciting, I originally wanted that my first go around but I don't know if I could haev handled it lol. I think its awesome that you both got to see the process work and will get to experience the whole thing that took you so long to get to, it must be so fulfilling! I don't think I will have another sono until 19 or 20 weeks for gender, as I opted out for genetics testing for down syndrome which I would have had a scan at 12 weeks. But because I am classified as high risk due to age I might get more who knows I will find out today!! have a great day!

Hope all goes ok today for you Hopeful. Let us know how you get on.

I am 37 (bday in May) and pregnant with #1. We have been in and out of docs for 5 years and I tried clomid twice last year but it didn't work (no O). Changed docs and he put me on Letrozole. Got my BFP on the 2nd month of Ovulating, 3rd cycle trying. We did not expect it to happen so quickly. Baby is due May 3-5 (depends on the website).

i have my first ultrasound in 2 weeks. I don't think I will get a lot of testing done. I know I am in the age bracket for high risk for Downs but meh, I don't really care. I know that sounds cold but I won't abort if he/she does have downs so there really is no point. I worried and fretted and obsessed enough over the TTC numbers, I don't need more. If the baby is fine and heart is beating strong that is all that matters to me. I'll go for the 12 week scan but no amnio or anything like that. And we have the 20 week scan in December (I am hoping to get it done on Dec 22 for a special Christmas gender reveal).

 

[Bekah78]

Congrats on your BFP Aayla.

Congrats you!! How very exciting for you, you and your husband must be over joyed!! I too have opted out of testing like you said as long as the scans don't show any defects and the heart beats strong then I am good. Keep us posted on your 12 week scan, love to hear and or see how the baby is growing!! How are things going right now for you any symptoms?

 

[Hopeful1479]

Well ladies all is well, I thought at 8 weeks I would get to hear the heartbeat but sadly no they told me at my 13 week sono, which I can't remember from my last child. So this time I just had an internal check with some cultures done and I set my future appointments. I go Sept 30th for a sono and they will make sure all things are present and make sure I am progressing right and on Nov 12 I will have my gender sono!! Again I am going to vent about the next 4 weeks being so annoying as I really need proof of life, my only symptoms are soar boobs!!! Hope you all are doing well. I am going away for a long weekend so I might not be back on until Monday or Tuesday!!

Right now I still get on and off cramping but most of it has gone away. I had a load of symptoms start at 3DPO. I was feverish/flushed, tingly, oily skin and my allergies went crazy. I knew I was pregnant. Some thought I was getting the flu. lol Most have tailored off. My boobs are heavier (even hubby noticed), some tingles in the boob area but they don't hurt. I am not sure what to expect in the boob area because I had a reduction when I was 18. We had no idea how that would have affected anything until I got pregnant. So far it's been pretty mild. Although there are times when my nipples stay hard. That's annoying lol and the baby doesn't like chocolate. Gives me nasty heartburn. I've had 2 bouts of nausea so I am hoping that stays mild.

I can't wait for my first scan. Just to see the heartbeat. I'm hoping to get pictures. I will be 21 weeks on December 22 so I am hoping that we will get to see the gender. I have a big reveal planned for the family on Christmas day. Everyone thinks we are waiting until the birth but we want to know.

Hi im 37, 38 on March 3rd baby no 5 due March 1st, this is our rainbow after a loss Last June n another just this may, caught this one literally Straight away no period inbetween, I'm mptr

 

[emma33]

Sorry...
I'm more nervous this time than any pregnancy, just wanted to say hi, I've had my downs results as 1 in 15180 n fluid measurement as 1.3mmbut honestly I wouldn't Have any further testing, happy n healthy 9 months ladies xx

Hi ladies!

Though I'm not technically over 35 yet (my 35th bday is this weekend), and I'm actually due at the end of March and not April, I am definitely concerned about this whole AMA thing and hope that you will all welcome me here anyway.

This is our first after nearly a year of trying and 1 miscarriage in June. Since I wasn't yet 35, my doctor would joke that our 1 year of trying (and thus time to be referred to a fertility specialist) would coincide with my 35th bday. Thankfully we ended up not needing any extra treatment, just more careful follow-ups for my thyroid.

I have my first scan next week (12 weeks) and am both excited and nervous. We're doing the NT-testing and the accompanying blood work, but are not opting for the NIPT (Harmony/Panorama) because it isn't covered by our insurance and the province only covers it for moms 40+. Hopefully all is well with baby... it's what I keep telling myself every time I'm nauseous or throw up... which has become more often since weeks 9-10.

 

[Bekah78]

Sorry to hear of your losses Emma. Fingers crossed this pregnancy goes well for you.

 

[Bekah78]

Sorry for your loss too Chrissy. Hope your scan next week goes well.

Where in Canada are you from?!! Fellow Canadian here!

 

[penelopejones]

May I join you? I just turned 38 and am due in April with #2. My daughter just turned 2. We tried for over a year and used IUI to conceive. I haven't thought about testing yet, but we won't due amnio or anything too invasive. I heard there is a new early blood test that can also tell gender? We will find out the gender but I liked seeing it on the 20 week scan with my daughter, not on a sheet of paper.

I'm Canadian too (from Ontario) but now live in North Carolina!
