Pregnant after 35

New to board

Hi All,

I am 34, but I turn 35 in September and my appleseed is due December 26th. This is my 2nd pregnancy in 6 months but hopefully my first baby! Since I had a mc in December, I already saw my Dr. to confirm that I am pregnant and I have my first ultrasound in a week - I am getting myself a little worked up about this because I have only had 2 ultrasounds before. One showed that my baby was not as far developped as it should be, and the other showed that it had gone. I also have absolutely no symptoms, which is making it difficult to believe that I'm pregnant!!

All this depressing stuff being said, I am excited for the potential that this could be a healthy pregnancy resulting in a healthy baby. I think I just don't want to get my hopes up too high because of what happened last time!

Any advice and support would be appreciated!!

  • Welcome and best wishes for you.

    My only symptoms were feeling like crap... I had no idea I was pregnant until 7.5 weeks in, so don't let that concern you much Smile

    The first ultrasound was totally surreal.. all I could think of was.. that can't be a baby in there... (We weren't trying to get pregnant).

  • Try to think about other things before the u/s appt. or you'll drive yourself crazy.  I'm 7.5 weeks and have had barely any symptoms.  A little nausea and some fatigue starting a couple of weeks ago.  Sending happy thoughts and hugs Left Hug your way for a happy and healthy baby.

  • Thank you both for the responses. Most days I'm pretty positive...but today seems like a paranoid day!! Hopefully this will pass. Thanks for the encouragement. Wishing you both happy and healthy 9 months.

  • Congrats and welcome! So sorry to hear about your previous loss. Wishing you ALL the best with this little one. I don't have much advice...except to do things for you to get through the worry-phases. I am 38 with #3 on the way in Oct. I remember finding out at 5 weeks and then counting down each week until at least 10...then I started feeling better about things. I will say that this board has been really beneficial with support and helping normalize some of my feelings about pregnancy in general. I hope that you find it as helpful!

  • Welcome to the board! Good luck to you and your LO for the next 9 months!

    Other than one serious bout of smell-induced m/s, I have had absolutely no symptoms.  I guess my breasts feel a bit heavier than normal but that is about it.

    Don't worry about it too much - I think those of us who don't get really ill just don't talk about it too much because others suffer something awful.

  • Welcome, congratulations and piles of sticky dust!

    I had pretty much no symptoms through the whole first trimester, except for getting tired more easily and, of course, paranoia that something was wrong.  Try not to worry!
