Pregnant after 35
Options

Intro

Hi Everyone. My name is Christina and I have been lurking the past couple of days posting here and there. I never thought I would be here again but I guess the man upstairs had other plans for me. 

I am 37 and DH is 37 as well. We have two beautiful kids, our DD is a freshman in college and my DS is 14yrs so this little one is quite the surprise!!! We found out I was pregnant on the 8th, we went to our appointment the following week thinking I am about 6-8 week along. No we got the huge news that our baby was measuring at a whopping 19w4dys!!!  So we found out I was pregnant and found the sex of the baby in a span of 2 weeks. LOL I am quite nervous about everything because I haven't been pregnant in a long time. I guess now I know why I was working out like crazy and not losing the weight.ha  

As you can guess I had a lot of test done that first appointment, everything looked good with the ultrasound, I go for my amnio on the 15th plus they are doing a much more detailed ultrasound. I am praying everything goes well.

    Welcome and congrats! I too have a bit of an age gap, my DD from a previous marriage just turned 18, she moved to her dad's in the city this summer to work and will be starting college in April. Glad to know I'm not the only one out there with a child on the way while sending another off to school!

    Did you want an amnio or do you have to have one when you are older?  I am 38 39 next month and have to admit amnio scares me.  I am nervous though since my DH does have downs syndrome in his family.  His sister has a boy who is in his 20s now.
