Pregnant after 35
Options
Newbie here
I just wanted to introduce myself as this looks like a great board to be a part of. I am 15 weeks pregnant with my first child and I am 41. I have had two prior miscarriages and was terrified to say anything before I hit the second trimester.
So far things have been going good. I have had the first round of tests (NTS u/s and BUN blood tests) and both came back with good numbers, so looks like I won't be needing an amnio (yipee)! I have been blessed with no morning sickness, just a few days of feeling icky. To be honest I don't even feel pregnant (except for the sore breasts).
I look forward to getting to know everyone here and going through this with people that understand. Hugs and best wishes for everyone!

Welcome, Dawn, and CONGRATS!
.. though I don't know how nice I can be, now that you've admitted you had NO morning sickness.. *ahem*..
If you're not feeling pregnant yet, have no fear. It'll hit and hit with a vengance when it does LOL!
Happy you found us

Hi Dawn! Welcome and congratulations! I am with you on so many levels. I had 3 m/c's and I have been freaking out constantly. I have 2 docs, and one of them has the 'oh don't worry you'll be fine' attitude, and the other I really, really like, because he takes the time to find the problem and answer my questions. This pregnancy has not been without its problems, but luckily I am settling in and allowing myself to look forward instead of negatively going day by day.
Good luck to you. This is a really nice group of women, if you ever need to vent!
Congrats and welcome!
And I may be jinxing myself by writing this, but so far I haven't had any m/s either. Though I'm only 8 weeks along?it could still hit. Though my mom didn't have m/s for either of her pregnancies.
