Pregnant after 35

Had my babies!

Hi all, not sure how many will remember me since I've been MIA most of my pregnancy. I had (and still have) horrible carpal tunnel syndrome (I literally cannot feel my fingertips!)  so I've been lurking a lot but not posting much. I'm told this will subside over the next few weeks.Anyway, I had my twins (boy/girl) last Saturday. I was 36 weeks and 6 days. My water broke at 5am and I had my babies (vaginally) by 2:00. They were each 6.5 pounds - no NICU time and they left the hospital with us on Monday. It was an amazing experience and we are so grateful to have had everything go so well!Good luck to all of the other "geriatric" moms-to-be! And if anyone is lurking from TTC 35+, know that I am cheering for you as well.

Re: Had my babies!

  • Congrats! Glad everyone is doing ok and there was no NICU time needed- which I think w/twins most people always expect. So, it sounds like everything went great for you- yay!!

    Sorry to hear about the carpal tunnel. I have a girlfriend going through that and it just seems amazingly horrible. I hope you feel better soon!

    Yay! Babies! :)

    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

  • Congrats! Those toes are so cute!
  • Wow! I am so excited for you. Congratulations on your babies! You must be thrilled.

    I remember when you first got your BFP with an FSH that was borderline like mine, I was so hopeful.  

    So sorry about the carpal tunnel. I've been having a little bit of that and it's hard and painful to type, especially in the morning. I hope that clears up soon for you.

    Congratulations again on having your beautiful babies!!!
