Hi there,
New here, and just wanted to say hello! I'm Lisa, and this is my second pregnancy. I am 44 years YOUNG, and I am almost 7 weeks pregnant. This was totally planned and we did two rounds of IUI to get here. We are beyond thrilled!
Just goes to show that you can still teach an old uterus new tricks!
Hi to all my fellow 40+ yr old preggos, and we're in this together.

43 here, with a planned pregnancy, no assistance (found out the day before our first appoint with the RE, in fact!).
I'm glad to see other 40-somethings - I was starting to feel like the old lady around here!

I had my first baby in my early 40s and am now pregnant with #2. I was happy, active, and felt great for most of the first pregnancy (My son was late, and I went hiking with my husband on his due date). Hoping for another smooth, trouble-free 9 months.
Best of luck to all the 40-somethings. You're only as old as you feel!

I am not 40 yet but will be when this one is born. This is my second and I am just happy to be here
I also have a teen. He will be 15 in January.
I went to the dentist this morning for a cleaning and had a new hygienist. We started talking and she shared that she was 15 when her little brother was born and he's been her world ever since (in a good way). They are really close and she also said he keeps her mom young.
Nice when the right person crosses your path at the right time - it was a relief to talk to her today.
Congratulations! I am a FTM due in October and am 41 years young.
This baby is due at the end of December, a few weeks before I turn 41.

Over-40 parents...what we lack in vigor, we make up for with cunning.
When is your due date? Congrats to you on your new little addition.

Hello,
I am 45 and just found out I am pregnant again after two miscarriages probably caused by low progesterone levels. Immediately found a wonderful and caring fertility doc and he put me on progesterone supplements, baby aspirin, a light steroid for autoimmune issues and a blood thinner. Everything seems to look good so far. Great sonograms, good heartbeat. Due February 11, 2014. Have grown kids, so this should be an adventure! This will be a true miracle if he or she makes it all the way into this world!

Congratulations! I am 47 and pregnant for the first time. I will be just 2 1/2 months shy of my 48th birthday when I deliver. I was ready to celebrate the ending of my 14 years of para-menopause when I for some reason decided to take a pregnancy test. To my surprise the results were positive. I never thought that I would ever be blessed with having a child of my own. I am 37 weeks pregnant and I have had a very easy pregnancy and my baby girl is doing very well. I can't wait to see her and hold her in my arms.
I wish you the best during your pregnancy and miracles do happen!
Hi
I just found out I was pregnant on Saturday. I am 41years old and my husband is 50. We are so excited but I am really worried about everything going well. I am an avid runner and have continued to run but not sure if that si the smartest thing to do being so much older. I am looking forward to reading everyones posts.
I turned 40 in June and got my BFP with my first on July 26 and RE confirmed on 7/29. I am 4 weeks exactly as of today. We got pregnant thanks to clomid and IUI. With a little help from synthroid (for my hyperthyroidism), metformin (for my PCOS) and bromocriptine (for my hyperprolactinemia). I go back for my hcg level check again tomorrow morning. They were 52 yesterday which is good, but please pray that they increase as they should.
Thank you for starting this post. It's so reassuring to find other women in the same situation.
