I was expecting a poll I'm 35, will be 36 when babe is born. I have one son born two days after my 33rd birthday. I'm feeling totally fine about it, particularly because the ladies in my family are/were older moms (my mom was 38 and 10 months when I was born, her mom was 37 when she had her).
Hello ladies I am 39 I will be 40 once my baby is here..I had a MC last year and I am super nervous and scared but at the same time super happy..My daughter is 14 and has been praying for a sibling so hopefully God gives me the privilege to carry my bundle of joy to full term...I try not to be negative but it is very hard to enjoy my pregnancy as I am always scared
34 now, but I'll turn 35 a couple of weeks before baby is due. I'm not thinking it'll change much about my pregnancy. Turning 35 is just the cut off for the paperwork.
I turn 35 next month. I had my daughter almost 5 years ago, and at the time my OB's office said I was their youngest patient (at 30!) I think late 30's is the pregnancy norm in the west LA/Santa Monica area...
BFP #1: 10/2011, Pre-eclampsia in last 6 weeks, emergency C-section, DD born 6/25/11
BFP #2: 8/16/14, Ectopic Pregnancy & Methotrexate Inj. 9/5/14, Adverse MTX reaction, HCG levels down after 2 weeks
I turned 35 in January and my OBGYN started to get worried...we had been TTC for over a year. Had our first appt with a UR on 2/11 to discuss options to deal with DH's low count/motility & had just taken the first step to get me set up for testing. And then BFP magically appeared 2/15!
37 and this is my first time being pregnant. It's a welcome surprise, but definitely a surprise. We're just hoping everything goes well and everyone is healthy.
I didn't realize there were so many! I'm 35, will be 36 when the baby is born. I have a 12 year old and a 19 month old. For sure, I wish my kids were closer in age but if I could choose, I'd wish I had my 12 year a little later rather than the other way around. I had no idea what I was doing at 23. Of course I didn't realize it then. I thought I knew everything! Ha!
I am 37 and have a 2-year old son. Went in for my first appointment last week at 8 weeks and the doctor wasn't able to pick up a heartbeat on the fetal doppler. He kept telling me not to worry, that it's totally normal not to hear it that early, but it's freaking me out!! I'll go in again at 12 weeks and I won't have an ultrasound until 20 weeks. Makes me so nervous!! I just want to make sure that everything is okay...
I'll be 35 in a few months. This will be our 4th kid and it's my 6th pregnancy. The nausea is not as bad this time around but I'm noticeably more tired! Opted to get the NIPT done this time and we've never done any testing before.
I am 39, but will be 40 shortly before baby arrives. This is our first. We tried for three years to conceive and managed to do it naturally. We're very excited!
I'm 34 and the baby will be born 3 months shy of my 35th birthday. So I'm not quite there but may I be in this great club, anyway? I had DD when I was 33.
I'm 35 and this is very different than my other two pregnancies, when I was 22 and 26 years old. Eek! I'm more worried this time, yet trying to just enjoy the journey!
Married 11-11-11 TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year. BFP 02-15-16 with our first IT'S A BOY!!!
I will be a couple of weeks shy of 40 when my LO arrives. I have 2 daughters that are 20 and 14 so this experience seems new to me. My husband and I are so excited!! So happy to see so many other responses.
That has to be tough! I thought I had it bad by not getting an ultrasound till 9-10 weeks! If it makes you feel any better, my doctor had trouble finding the heartbeat early on in both of my other pregnancies. They haven't even tried this time... Just try to think positive. I finally decided that if my choices were to be happy or miserable, I was going to choose happy. I don't think being happy now will make the future more difficult either way things turn out.
Re: How many moms over age 35?
I am nervous but very happy about this new baby.
