Pregnant after 35

New to this world!

Hi! I'm just diving into this pregnancy world. I'm 16 weeks, 35yo. After about a year and a half of trying, finally success (and the most unexpected month timing wise). I had decided to explore fertility options (and pretty much given up in my head), but then baby happened and we were shocked. It's been a little personal adventure since. We discovered baby a couple months before we were moving to a new city. Moving and first trimester blah didn't mix well, but we made it and I'm finally settling into pregnancy and the 2nd trimester boost of energy helps tremendously. I had an episode of spotting and two ultrasounds in the first trimester, but seemingly smooth sailing since. I'm excited and also feel like I'm hunting and gathering advice and stories of similar experience mostly because I lack a close female peer/support group, so I'm glad to have stumbled to TheBump. I feel a little less alone in this new city and this new experience. :)

  • Welcome. Congrats on your pregnancy! I had a similar surprise, went to an RE and was supposed to have testing, but got a surprise bfp before we even scheduled anything! I am now 18 weeks and couldn't be happier. I also understand the difficulty of feeling isolated as my friends and family are all far away. I hope the board will bring you some relief and support.
