Just curious how many of us on the board are "Advanced Maternal Age" (AMA)? Is this your first, second, third, etc.?
I'm 35 and will be 36 in May. This will be my third child, and the first of my pregnancies where I will be AMA. I know that my doctor will suggest some kind of free cell fetal DNA testing based on past experience, but I'm curious if there will be any changes in how they monitor this pregnancy vs. the last one. I kind of doubt it.

@H4aPartyof5, same! I'll be 36 in July and this will be my third child (4th pregnancy). I'm still being seen by my RE and won't be released to my OB till 8 or 10 weeks so I haven't been able to discuss what kind of testing/additional monitoring will be available to me. I'm curious!

@washyourhandsplease, do you remember how many weeks you were when you had the Verifi test done? It's done pretty early, right?

I will definitely be asking my OB more about it in a couple of weeks.
I'm nervous, as I had ready LOTS of stories about AMA and things that could happen... but know that those things can also happen at any age.
I plan to do any testing when asked, and hope it's covered by insurance. Is this the same test as genetic and chromosomal abnormalities? I know we will do that one.

I am 35 and will be 36 in July. This is my 6th pregnancy, I've had one loss, so hopefully this will be my 5th baby. I've never done any additional testing before, my doctor offered Panorama last pregnancy but it wasn't covered by insurance. Not sure if we will have it done this time or not. So far none of my pregnancy have been treated any different. I will say its a lot harder on me being pregnant at 35 versus 21.
