Hi ladies!
12 wks and due 7/22/15. I have a 4 yr old boy thru c-section. This is my 4th pregnancy though. Had two m/c one before and one after my son was born. Though my first pregnancy was super normal with no problems, I am terrified thanks to docs always mentioning "Advanced Maternal Age". Enough to get all those screening done. Have to wait 2 wks to find out the results. As for symptoms I was super tired the whole first tri unlike last pregnancy. But I also work 3rd shift so that doesn't help. Looking forward to seeing all the babies that are due soon!

Yay! This is awesome! Are you going to find out the gender? We were team green last time and only sent MIL the gender reveal paper from the Dr's office cuz she wanted to know. She is a big planner. We are going to stay team green again and I really don't want to know and nor do I want anyone else know before me and DH! Does that make me selfish? LOL! DH says that's the only magic left in the world. When people ask what we are having I am sure people give me a mental eye roll. I tell them if God wanted me to know and every one else to know my belly would have become see through for all to find out.

You ladies are amazing with your supports! Thank you! I blew off all the testing and got nothing done at 35 but 5 yrs later.. my perspective is a whole different story. LOL!
@cneidling, that is not cool! I can't believe they would tell you that. It's bad enough that they code it that way but to worse to tell/call you geriatric/elderly! It's offensive actually IMO.
And ITA about the testings! With my first one I was 35 and even though they called me AMA and wanted me to do all those tests I passed. I am much more nervous too for having the tests done and dreading the phone call.
