Pregnant after 35

1st Ultrasound and appt today

Hello ladies,

I am so happy we got to see a heartbeat today. I don't remember being this anxiety ridden with my other babies, or if its just my knowing that over 35 is riskier. I was a little off on my lmp, so I am measuring 6 weeks 5 days today. I was a little concerned, but after the appt I went back and counted days, and I think I was off 4 days so that makes sense. The heartbeat was 135. Does this seem a little low?

I got paper work on advanced maternal age and genetic testing. I think I will go ahead and do the tests, at least just to better prepare for this LO. I will be weeks away from 37 years old when this one is due. 06-05-15 EDD.

At least I can rest easy for the next 4 weeks until my next appt. and I got the go ahead to keep running and working out in moderation. Now if I could just find the energy!

    Yay! Congrats! According to the great, all-knowing Google, HB over 110 for around 6 weeks should be good. Hope you can keep your mind occupied until your next appt!

    Edited: I just looked back at my first US post and at 5 wks 6 days, HB registered at 120bpm! At my last appt it was 174bpm, so I think you are good! :)

  • Sounds like a great first appointment!  

    I thought this pregnancy would be a breeze for me, but I also feel more anxiety with this little one.  I feel like a newb again!
