35+ yr old moms to be

swaincaswainca member
in July 2015 Moms
I will be a first time mom at 37, I'm 7 weeks 3 days currently, and anxious about the upcoming chromosome tests. I know worrying about things will not help but am curious how other mothers are coping with same issues.

    The 35 and over group is also pretty good. I'm 35 and worried about these upcoming tests but hoping it's all ok. Just another 4 weeks to wait!
    @jefa621‌ Hope all goes well on Tuesday.

    Thanks Jefa621 for your kind words and I am sorry to hear about your worrisome ultrasound. I hope Tuesday will ease your fears and you receive good news. The waiting is the worse. And I too am trying to stay positive and enjoy my pregnancy

    Waiting is terrible but I'm sure everyone is worried 1st trimester, especially us first time mums. To ease my worries I think of all my friends over 35 who have had healthy babies

    37 with my first and trying not to be a pile of worry. Dr has me taking 4000 mg of folic acid a day since I have a genetic disposition to have a child with spinobiphoda, which doesn't help relieve any worry....except that I'm glad I know so I can be taking extra precautions!
    I didn't realize there was a 35+ board either, I'll check it out. Congrats ladies!!

    I think it's officially called "pregnant after 35". I've been lurking a bit over there too

    First tri is the worst. Thankfully the holidays are a good distraction.

    I'll be 38 when I have this LO. I've had multiple losses, so that's not helping my anxiety. First u/s is Monday at 5w5d, fx something is there.

    BFP #1 March 24, 2010; missed m/c May 26, 2010 @ 12w 4d; D&E May 28, 2010

    BFP #2 Oct 20, 2010; My little boy was born on July 5, 2011

    BFP #3 April 30, 2013; Chemical Pg May 5, 2013

    BFP #4 Aug 22, 2013; It's a boy.  Loss discovered at 24 weeks on Jan 15, 2014 (cause CMV virus)    

                                  <3 We love and miss you Timothy <3

    BFP #5 April 6, 2014; missed m/c May 15, 2014 @ 9 weeks; Misoprostol May 15, 2014; D&C May June 3, 2014

    I was 36 when I had my daughter and will be 38 when #2 arrives. I am not having any tests just trying to relax and trust in God.

    My mother had me 3 months before her 38th birthday. I was her 4th child. She refused any of the tests and just knew that she would love me no matter what. I turned out awesome! B-)

    I'm 36 and this is baby #3 for me. Baby is due July 26 and my birthday is July 28. So I could be 36 or 37 when it's born. :-)

    35 here and pregnant with #2. Just trying to relax and not stress out. Seems more and more of us are having babies 35+ these days and that makes me feel better.

    I will be 35 when baby number 3&4 grace us with their presence. This has been a journey thus far but, we have faith and taking it one day at a time. I wish everyone the best of luck & a happy stress free pregnancies.

    I'm in the 35+ club, too.  I definitely think about the risks, especially downs syndrome and other trisomy.  But, I keep reminding myself that the odds are far, far greater that everything will be ok.  I'm 8w4d, so not too much longer until I can start testing.  

    I'll be doing all tests that are recommended.  I just have this need to know stuff.

    40rh birthday today and due with my first. 10 weeks 2 days today. NT scan and blood test on Monday. Having all recommended tests. Was anyone else totally bummed out to be called "AMA"? I get it, but feel we can come up with a better term! I don't feel "advanced"! :)
