Just checking in to see if anyone is active here?
I made an intro here a few weeks ago, I'm 9wks3d today. I'm counting my blessings every day, as I have a history of multiple losses in early pregnancy.
I had an ultrasound yesterday and baby was moving around and heart rate was 182. Huge relief and a great source of encouragement
Tomorrow I have some blood work and meeting with a nutritionist.
This will be my 5th child, but my fiancé's 1st!
Would love to connect with other pg women over 35!
Re: Hi ladies, anyone here?
Last year there was a group of women on here that I was close with from TTC after 35, but they've all gone on to have their babies!
I am planning to do the genetic testing
The nurse I spoke with did talk about it over the phone and said she ordered my labs, so hopefully tomorrow at my prenatal intake I'll know more.
Even though we conceived naturally, we had been seeing an RE and they've been monitoring betas and scans. I've officially graduated, so I'm preparing to meet our midwife next Monday.
Thanks for answering my post!
is your fiancé super excited too? Thinking of you and that this little one sticks in hard ❤

My DD took a couple of years to happen and I had 2 MC before she arrived. I figured if I wanted a second, I should start trying since it could take awhile. Turns out not so much! Thankful this one is looking healthy.
Best of luck to all of you!
FTM (first pregnancy for that matter). I had been trying for 4 months. Just under 5 weeks now. First appointment not for another 4 weeks. I have a mild symtoms, just don't like feeling so tired but I'll take it!
I know some of you are pretty far along. I'm wishing you all the best and pray to get there, too!

ETA: I can't math today.
Going to "interview"/meet with a midwife at a birthing center this evening (meaning midwife center not hospital). I'm feeling somewhat ambivalent as I had the most amazing pregnancy/birth experience with my first in Berkeley, CA but now we live in Portland, OR. It's sad to think that all of my children won't be birthed at Pacifica (center in Berkeley), but I'm so grateful to be living in another place where there are many options for non-hospital births. I'm confident I will find a good fit! *No judgment to those with hospital/home/other births - you know what's best for you and your baby!
Otherwise feeling well - shared the news with close friends and y'all, but waiting longer to tell family. My SIL is due with her first 7/27 and wanting to let her baby be born before sharing our news.

We'll be back for a visit in a couple weeks, can't wait!
I've done check-ins before on other boards but am traveling for a bit. If anyone wants to get one started, I'd be available to help in August.

I checked in here in May when I was pregnant for the first time, ended in MC. Now, I'm back in full effect and my only goal is to support this LO sticking!! My EDD is 03/04/18; I'm 4w2d. I'll check in here...quiet board is not so bad. It gets wild on the other ones. Too many posts for me to digest and get anything else done.
