That's so awesome. congratulations. I'm not expecting, but 42. Just got married last month and now seriously forging ahead in trying to get pregnant. Nothing has happened in the last 8 months and now I'm in panic mode. Just online today trying to research, figure out which ovulation kit to buy, etc. Trying to avoid IVF, but that may be wishful thinking. Hope you don't mind me asking for any advice you might share. Had everything checked out and I seem fine. Just sadly...I'm old!
When I first found out I was pregnant I said omg I am so old but as each week goes by I become more excited and I forget about my age. Your not to old keep trying. When you least expect it it will happen. Keep your head up and and if you want to talk I am here to help.
Ditto! Glad someone else is in the same boat. We are both so fortunate. I am 35 weeks. So far, so good. I was nervous for the 1st 12 weeks, convinced that I would miscarry due to my age. Never happened. Then, I was scared to death of the genetic testing results- again, were fine. When I went for the 20 week ultrasound, everything looked good. Now, I am a little over 4 weeks left and can't fathom how well it has gone, healthwise, for the baby.
As for me, been struggling with crippling fatigue, horrible heartburn since 2nd trimester, about 6-12 bathroom runs a night- but aside from my "issues," the baby remains healthy!
Have hope and know that it can be done and all work out well.
