Hi from a newbie

My husband and I just found out we are expecting #4! We are excited and I'm a little nervous since I haven't done this in almost 9 years and I'll be 37 in four days. I have my first appointment on Aug 15th. Not sure what to expect this time around since I'm over 35.

Welcome, and congratulations! Usually all it means is you are offered more testing options.

Congrats and welcome! Probably not much different from last time you did it other than the "advanced maternal age" stamp

Welcome and congrats. I expected all kinds of medical hoopla when I was pregnant with Maddie because I was 38 when I conceived. It really wasn't any different except I chose to have an amnio.

Congratulations and welcome. Yes, some extra testing has been offered but this us my 2nd AMA pregnancy and treated no different by my MW.

At age 41 (my OB likes to call it just an age some Dr came up with and I can keep having more babies) I was offered a few more different test then I did when I had my pregnancies.

Hi and welcome from another newbie! I am 37 (38 next month) and we are expecting our 7th in April. There is a 6 year gap between my last baby and the one before him and I found that I got *A LOT* more ultrasounds. I also never had genetic counseling before and that was a bit off putting. Otherwise, pretty much the same. Congrats to you and Daddy!
