Pregnant after 35

New here and still not sure if I am excited yet!!

Hello Ladies...

I am 38 and will be 39 this year and currently 17 weeks pregnant with my first child, due to age and family history I am too worried and scared to even let myself get excited until after all my genetic testing and have not even told family and friends yet about the pregnancy. But I wanted to say HI!! 

Re: New here and still not sure if I am excited yet!!

  • Congrats! Just take big breath. It is natural to feel the way you feel . I am 42 so understand. I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy.

  • Welcome.  I'm pregnant with my first.  At 42 and due to prior losses I didn't get excited until about 20 weeks.  Congrats and everyone on here is a great support though all of this.
