Pregnant after 35

Found out - it's a girl xoxo

I just want to post this somewhere and I frequent this board a bit.  I am so happy and I had a gut feeling (or wish) that it would be a girl!  As many, I just want a healthy pregnancy and ultimately gender doesn't matter so much but this is the news I wanted to hear!
I don't think my BF's mom is too thrilled just yet.. she likes boys, has 3 sons and is not crazy about girls which saddens me a bit.  But hopefully she will come around.  My mom is excited beyond belief but his mom isn't showing much emotion.. kind of hurts but she doesn't live in this country and we communicate via Skype so she's pretty distant all things considered.  Plus this is her first and probably only grandchild and I am "one and done" so I feel badly for her.
Not sure why her feelings matter so much to me... but aside from all that.. WE ARE THRILLED!  Admittedly, now I am scared though.  It's really really real!!
Hope I can maintain this pregnancy!  Good luck to all of us!  Thanks for letting me share/vent.

  • Yay!! Congratulations! I had a feeling from the very beginning I was having a girl and I was right. I know my DH wanted a boy and I could tell he was disappointed at first, but he came right around and became excited and was able to focus on the fact that our baby was beautiful and healthy. I'm sure the family will all come around and be happy for you with a little time. Celebrate your joy, this is a wonderful moment!!! :)
    Me:41, DH:41 Positive for MTHFR mutations- one copy C677T, one copy A1298C. One daughter born on Thanksgiving in 2013. Six losses.
  • Congratulations on the happy news! I have been getting some unexpected/confusing reactions from a few friends and family, too, but I'm trying not to let it bother me. Keep talking to the ones who are as thrilled as you are and the rest will soon come around.
