in Pregnant after 35
Hey Ladies,

I am a first time Mom to be (sorry, still learning all the acronyms), 38 years old (39 next month). My boyfriend is 37. I was terrified that I wasn't going to be able to get pregnant because of everything I had read and heard from other people. We tried for the first time in October and it worked! We certainly were't expecting for it to happen that fast. I am going with the No Worries approach...I find that helps me keep my sanity. My symptoms have been minimal, so I suppose I should be very thankful. We have had our first Dr. appt and he gave us a due date of July 15/13. First ultrasound is this coming Friday. 
I'm still getting used to the idea of being pregnant, I don't think it has really sunk in yet. 

Happy to have you all to chat with....afterall, we are in a class of our own :)

    You are my twin :) I am also 38 and due on 07/15/14, with twins :) We had to do ivf do to several complications with endometriosis and some other joyful issues that prevented us until now. We had our first ultrasound yesterday and got to see their little heartbeats and I am already in love <3 Good luck on your ultrasound, we will have to keep in touch with each other.

    Congratulations!

    I guess I make us triplets, ChisB and BJL!  I am 38, turning 39 in less than 2 weeks expecting our first (and probably only) on July 11 after more than 5 years of trying.  Aside from some initial spotting that had me worried, so far I have been feeling great.  No nausea at all, just the odd sleepless night.

    I would love to stay in touch with you both! :)

    Lol. I thought the same thing! Twice! I was convinced it would take forever to get prego, and bam! First time both times. My first pregnancy was ridiculously easy. Labor was just over 3 hrs. Natural, no complications other than mildly elevated blood pressure that went away after a few weeks. Hoping for this same this May, when we have #2. Except with no elevated BP!

    Congratulations! I'm not exactly your twin, but similar in sense that I just turned 39 and got pregnant after only a few months, which surprised the heck out of us! We had to try for six yrs for #2 and #3 only took a few months! We also have a teenager (#1). This group is great for support and knowing we're not alone in our awesomely unique situations! Good luck! :)

    Welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy! I think the No Worries approach is great. I try to be that way, can't say I am always consistent, though. :)
