First time pregnant at 42!

Hi All,

First off, thank you for letting me pursue all the wonderful posts on this board.  I just recently found I am pregnant with my first.  I have never been been pregnant before and this is a true miracle.  We are still in shock and disbelief and with that comes the worry.  According to my last period, I was 6w1d last Thursday.  I had an ultrasound done and they saw a TINY sac but no yolk (sorry if I am using the wrong terminology, this is all new to me!)  They think I was closer to 5 weeks so as of today I am just about 6 weeks I am guessing.  I had bloodwork done back to back to back and my HCG levels were 1439 and 2936 respectively.

I am trying to stay calm and relaxed (and happy) and want to do everything in my power to make sure this pregnancy is viable.  I am healthy and strong and praying that the next several weeks go smoothly.  Deep breaths!!  I have to remember to enjoy this part of the process :)

Look forward to becoming a long term member of this board!
