Just wondering. I'm 35 (will turn 36 right before my due date). This will be my second and I just am feeling old. All my friends have been done having kids for years. I checked out the "Pregnant after 35" board but it seems quite slow.
I will be 35 in about a month, so I will be 35 for most of the pregnancy. I feel old too (had 1st baby at 33). I feel like there are pros and cons to being an older/younger mom though, don't you think?
@ssmama34217 - right, I think the pros are that I was on the fence for a long time about having a second kid. So I waited until I was ready. The cons are that I am just soooooo tired. But maybe I'd be tired even if I weren't 35.
Turning 39 in a couple weeks! This is my first and I do thank goodness that most of my close friends, though they all have had two kids already, aren't that far ahead of me. Most had their kids in the early to mid 30's also. I always just told them I was waiting for their kids to get to babysitting age before I went ahead with ours
Me: 41 / Fiance: 35 + One DS, one dog & two kitties...
First BFP: 1/17/16 = EDD 9/21/16 (MMC)
Second BFP: 6/24/16 (CP)
Third BFP: 2/7/17 = EDD 10/20/17 🌈 *** BORN 10/23 *** 🌈
Me!!! 36 with my 3rd. Other kids are 5 & 9. Both boys will be having birthdays before this baby comes and so will I. 37 with an infant sounds scary, but I'm sure it'll be great! I think we'll tell family in 2 weeks after second u/s.
I'm 35 and this will be my first. I'll be 36 by the time the baby comes. Most of our friends have 1-2 kids already so I guess you could say we are the "late bloomers" of the group!
I'm 38 and this will be my first pregnancy! We've been trying for almost 2 years. Feeling old but my mom had my brother when she was 40 and I have a coworker who had her daughter (naturally) at 48! So these days it seems women can give birth at any age!

I'll be 35 in April and I had my first when I was 33. I'm so glad I waited to have kids, I had way too much fun in my 20s and early 30s, and wouldn't have given that up for anything!
I'll be 35 in 3 weeks and had my DD when I was 33. I don't regret waiting at all, as my husband and I had the time of our lives in our late 20's/early 30's! I feel like we waited until it was the right time for us, not when all our other friends/family were having them!
I turned 35 yesterday. This is will be my second, our LO turned 2 on Valentines Day.
The bulk of my friends are in their baby making years. It feels reassuring to have friends in the same stage of life, esp since we waited till 'later in life.' And TBH, I was nowhere ready even a few years ago.
Hi all-I'm 40 and he's 44. Good to see all of you here! Baby is due around my birthday so we'll see what happens. This is our third pregnancy in 5 years but first baby. Crossing all our fingers and toes. It's been a long road.
Hi everyone! I'm 36, pregnant with my 3rd.... my two daughters are 12 and 8 - everyone assumes this baby was a surprise but we wanted one more :-) Ginger-beer cheers!
I'm 35 and my birthday is in September so will be 36 when the baby is born. This is our first. Glad to see others posting who started at 35ish and had more than one child. We are probably one and done but keeping our options open.
I will be 35 in August and my due date is October 5th. I had my first child when I was 31. Glad to see this post. As soon as you hit 35, you fall in to this bracket of high risk. So annoying but I guess taking precaution is good.
I asked my doc about the significance of age when I was pregnant with DS. She said maternal health was a much bigger factor than age. I try to keep that in mind
Weekly checking in sounds fun to me too! I find myself not connecting with most of the other groups around here. Must be my "geriatric" status. get off my lawn!
Hi ladies, I am 37 my Hubby is 32. This is our second baby, our son is 16 months old. Most of our friends either have older kids or none at all. Happy to see so many mamas in my age range!
Hi ladies I'm 38 and DH is 39 we will be 39 and 40 when the baby is born. This is our second DD turned 9 earlier this month. Happy to see so many in this age range. A couple of my close friends just had their second as well so don't feel that far behind everyone.
Re: Anyone here age 35+?
I turned 35 a week after getting my positive test. This will be my first kid - most of my friends are on to their second.
@deadasthatsquirrel lol at your gif!
@deadasthatsquirrel hilarious! I love the GG
I'm 40,will be 41 when I deliver.
I have a 8,7,2 and 1 year old as well, it's like I wasn't fertile until I hit 30!
On my last BMB, I was one of two or three 35+ ladies. I'm glad to see there are so many of us here!

I'm 42, will be 43 when due. This is our first and we didn't start trying until a little over a year ago.
