Pregnant after 35

First time pregnant and really nervous!

Just joined this community as I was 8 days late so decided to take a home pregnancy test and it came out positive! Well actually I took 3 home pregnancy test just because I couldn't believe the results of the first and all came up positive so I'm pretty sure that's a good sign!  

Really nervous as this will be our first child and I'm over 35 now.   We've been trying for a few months now to conceive so this is really exciting for us both...I actually don't think it's quite set in yet for the both of us.  

Guess it's time to find a OB and set up an appointment. 

Looking forward to getting to know and chatting with you all on here.

  • Congrats! I took 9 because I couldn't believe the results, either. Sometimes it still feels surreal...and I'm 25w3d.

  • Thanks and Congrats to you all!!!  hehe.  I took 2 more test this morning just to solidify the results again!

     If I did the math right (ie. 40 weeks from the first day of my last period) that would make the due date my birthday, Oct 12th, actually.  Which would be hilarious but I'm not banking on that date of course.

    We'll see what the OB says.....

    Having a hard time trying to figure out what OB to choose now.  Thankfully I have a friend whose pregnant a few blocks away from me and hopefully she loves her and they're local (fingers crossed)! 

      


  • thanks!!!  (and congrats too!!)
  • First let me say congrats and welcome aboard!!  Second, I know exactly what you mean.  I also did 3 tests because I couldn't believe it.  There are days I still don't believe that I am having a baby in May.  It seems so surreal; and I am 26w5d.  Best of luck to you during your journey.  Look forward to seeing ya around the bump!!

  • You're definitely in good company - look at these responses! And I will add to it, I still don't believe it half the time. I am also a little nervous but I find the anxiety is subsiding into realization and enjoyment. Congrats and welcome!

  • Congrats!  I actually went back to bed for another 45 minutes once I saw the positive test - excited, anxious, scared, overwhelmed - you name it!  Getting a grip on all of that now, with just over 5 weeks til my EDD.  Glad you joined - there are some great ladies here that offer very helpful perspectives!  Best wishes!

  • Congrats!  

    This is our first too and I'm 35, so I know what everyone means about it being surreal.  I also took 3 tests and am fighting the urge to take more just to make sure there's still a baby in there!

  • Congrats!!

    I did at least 5 home tests with this one and then I even went down to medical at work and had the nurses there test me - I just couldn't believe we were so lucky to be having another one. 

    It can be very surreal!

  • Congratulations!  This is an exciting time for you. I am just like you, first time pregnant with first child & over 35.  Just take it easy & don'tt worry.  Or at least try not to worry.  It is definitely easier said than done. This forum has been fantastic help & was referred by a friend that is also pregnant.  We weren't really trying to concieve till March but here we are & my man is so happy but I am only 6 weeks & 3 days....doctor appt set for next week so taking it easy & eating a healthy diet has helped me along with taking prenatals months before & eliminating caffeine & fatty food altogether.  I am nervous too but we just have to stay positive & count the blessings!
