35 at delivery

in Pregnant after 35
My dr considers me high risk because I will b 35 when the baby is born. I'm taking progesterone shots weekly and having weekly ultrasounds. We didn't do the genetic testing even tho the risk is higher but I don't think I want to know if there is a problem. Is there anybody else having priblems

    I am 36 and the only thing that the Dr considered me HR for was my GD. My age has not factored into it at all.

    Just because you'll be 35 does not mean you're high risk automatically... Just fyi... Good luck with the shots and check in again!

    I will be 37 at delivery and my high risk doctor didn't really care about my age.  I'm high risk because I had a late loss at almost 20 weeks in 2011.  But I've had a healthy baby girl since then and I got pregnant on my own this time.. so far no issues at all.  They didn't add any testing because of my age.  In fact, we cut down on ultrasounds since having my daughter in 2012.  I had weekly cervical length checks and ultrasounds with her.. but this time they aren't doing anything until I hit about 17 weeks.

    I'll be 35 when the baby is born as well and I have had 2 extra ultrasounds but really nothing else special. And really the ultrasounds were to determine when to schedule the c-section (long story). My dr said something like I'm technically considered "high risk" just because of my age but bc I'm on the way younger end of the spectrum, healthy, etc she's not concerned.

    This might be a stupid question, but what are the progesterone shots for?

    I will be 37 at delivery.  My OB doesn't consider me "high risk," but he did offer me the additional testing because of m age.  I have decided to do the extra testing just to feel more confident that everything is ok, but I personally haven't experienced any problems yet.

    @Samuelismomma I didn't realize you had epilepsy. I had it growing up. But haven't had issues since I was 16.

    I will be 3 months shy of 47 when baby is born. My OB is not concerned. Never did any genetic testing as we used donor eggs. Good luck!

    ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
    Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive.  Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)

    DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN  DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!

    I'll be 36 and I love that the extra tests are covered. It would be annoying to be, say, 34, and have to pay out of pocket for any tests. 

    I'm not considered high risk, but "advanced maternal age" is noted in my file (my favourite phrase for this is "senile primigravida" -- the cutoff used to be age 25 some 60-70 years ago, ha!)

    @mandyreads yep..probably had it little absent but wasnt diagnosed until early twenties. I went into status epilepticus. I have complex partial . I control it with two meds and a vagus nerve stimulator( pace maker type device with wire on vagus nerve sends current to brain) kinda why I'm late having kiddos and my first H was an ass! Lol...current H awesome and cute! hahaha

    Hi! Glad things are going well! I'm 43 and met with a MFM today who told me I simply don't need him, as both the fetus and I are as healthy as a horse! We did do MaT21 testing at around 12wks. Results came back normal. I wish you a healthy pregnancy!

    @harmonicbabe26 the people who come up with these should have "primarius idiotus" appended to their signatures...
