TTC after 35

TTC at 38 with baby #2!

I am 38 and hubby and I want another baby. We have a healthy happy 2 1/2 year old boy! I have the go ahead from my OBGYN but I am so scared of the baby being downs or worse. Are there any other 38+ trying for a baby?

  • Well you will find few of us here, I am 39 (well two weeks shy to 40) is trying my first.  Got pg in Feb and had a misscarriage in April.  But I am not losing hope and I am keep trying.  Welcome to the board, this is a group of very supportive women! 
  • Thanks for your message. Are you nervous about any illness? Ex downs?
  • Thanks for your messages. I wish you both luck on getting pregnant with a healthy little bundle!
  • Actually, I am not.  There are so many tests out there you can find out a lot of information in the early stage.  I guess I will take it one day at a time, you only can worry so much in life.  Best of luck to you.

  • I'm 39 hubby 41. TTc our first. Had MC in Dec. little nervous of a Downs baby since hubby's nephew is Downs but now just worried about mc again!!!

    On the 2 ww now for this month!!!

  • Like, JChow said, there are quite a few test out there to help, either before with a saliva test/blood test to see if, either one of you are carriers or when you get pregnant to check at an early stage. But, I can understand not wanting to make that decision, once you are prego.....so, talk to your doctor about your options and creating a good plan, so that you are not facing that type of situation.  I am assuming that you are TTC naturally? 

    Best of luck.
