Pregnant after 35

Hello!

Hey everyone!  I have been on here for a quite a while and finally decided it was time to post!  I am a first time mom due May 14th and will be 37 when the baby is here. I have my 2nd appointment, which will be 10 weeks, on Thursday and am looking forward to making sure everything is going as it should!  I had my first appointment and ultrasound at 6 weeks and everything looked good. Saw the baby and had a heartbeat of 121 so that was great.  I had a loss in May and still feel a little uneasy, but trying to stay positive!  I think this time is going to work out!  Lately, I have been trying the old wives tale gender predictors!  So far they have all said boy!  Haha!  I don't believe all of that, but it's kind of fun!  

Look forward to sharing the next 7 months with you all!

  • Congratulations!  So sorry about your previous loss, I too had a loss prior to this pregnancy so I know how it can make you nervous.  Ts and Ps for a healthy happy pregnancy, baby and mom!
  • Welcome and congratulations! Hoping everything continues to go smoothly for you!

    It is funny I did all the old wives tests and chinese test and whatever for fun and they all said boy but they were all wrong! I shouldn't have told my husband because he was totally convinced we were having a boy and was kind of shocked! Anyway, he got over it quickly and is now very excited about our little girl on the way! :)

     Those gender precdictors never worked for me lol. But fun to think about.

  • Thanks for all the welcome wishes ladies!  Looking forward to our appointment tomorrow morning!  Yay!!  I will also be scheduling my Materniti21 test tomorrow.  My doctor recommends it and I think it will be covered under my insurance.  I have been reading a little about it on here and other websites, any of you had this test?  

    Forgot to mention in my intro that I am from the Chicagoland area and work as a high school counselor in Chicago Public Schools.  Never a boring day!  : )    A May due date works out really well with my school calendar!  I think I will be able to take my sick days until school ends, then have the summer off, then start my short term disability in the fall.  Crossing fingers that everything works out that well!  

    QOTR - Yay for May babies!!  : )
