Parenting after 35

one month until TTC#2 well sort of....

I agreed with dh that I would stop taking birth control and let nature take it's natural course.  We had a hard time getting pg with ds, almost 3 years.  finally an IUI with femara and ovidrel was the ticket to pregnancy.

i'm totally scared though.  I had a very rough pregnancy with ds.  I had hyperemis, preterm labor and bleeding from 12 wks on, gestational diabetes and then was on bedrest the last 12 weeks. then after delivery  had severe PPD/PPA for which I am still on meds. (ok to take during pg)

I swear I have PTSD from my pregnancy with ds.

kind of freaking out here.  I'm almost 39 so I know times a ticking away.  I also want ds to have a sibling close in age.

So dh and i decided i wouldn't temp, opk or use cbefm until 6month down the road.

could use some thoughts and prayers for the upcoming road in my life.

thanks ladies

  • Sending good vibes and prayers your way for TTC #2.  I completely understand how hard some pregnancies are.  Hopefully, the next pregnancy will go better for both of us.
