AMA Mama Check In - July

Didn't see this started yet and since I know the first few weeks can be the most stressful I thought I'd get this going:)

Re: AMA Mama Check In - July
How far along are you? 3+5...still super early
How are you doing with everything at the moment? Better than I expected. I feel so much less stressed for some reason this time...but it might just be because it doesn't feel real yet. I wasn't sure we would get here again but I'm so thrilled that we did. Hoping so hard that this little nugget gets to come home in March. I keep reminding myself that I had DD2 at 40 and that was only 2 years ago...so my body can't be that much different...right?
Age: 40
How far along are you? 6w3 according to LMP but I think it’s probably more like 5w4 or so.
How are you doing with everything at the moment? My son’s first birthday was yesterday and I’d been having a lot of anxiety about experiencing a loss around his birthday. I wanted to celebrate him fully and not have that day clouded. It ended up being a great day so I’m thankful for that. My first US is a week from today so just trying to stay calm really. I know even a perfect US won’t erase the anxiety but it’ll be an important step.
@rachelredhead same as above ^ I'm glad the party went well and you got to celebrate your little one.
Age: 34 (35 Friday)
How far along are you? 4+6
How are you doing with everything at the moment? I'm technically not AMA until Friday but I assume that getting pregnant 1 month before your 35th birthday probably counts. When we discussed trying to get pregnant, my Dr seemed pretty confident that having had 2 successful pregnancies previously would work in my favor. I'm interested to see what the differences are as far as care/testing compared to my other 2. We'll see how it goes!
How far along are you? 4 weeks exactly.
How are you doing with everything at the moment? Overall okay, but with some low level anxiety. I’m fretting over the lines getting darker on my pregnancy tests. I think I’m in my head too much. My ultrasound will be at 8w1d.
I’m also glad I’m not the only one who’s “ama”. I was afraid I’d be the only one since my last bmb was mostly younger mamas. Ps I hate the term ama!
@elle-0409 hopefully those lines keep getting darker! I was just there too. Can you get in for some hcg testing? They didn’t hesitate when I called.
How far along are you? 5 + 4
How are you doing with everything at the moment?
Overall, I’m feeling ok, tired and moody but no real nausea yet. The ob-gyn for my last two pregnancies was not concerned about my age and said she didn’t really consider one AMA until 42. I am in the process of finding a new doctor to follow this pregnancy so am curious how the new physician and care will be. I received a referral today and am hoping I’ll have a first appointment soon.
How far along are you? 3+5
How are you doing with everything at the moment? Symptoms are already coming on strong. I'm sooo bloated and gassy, my breasts are bigger, and I'm already getting aversions and waves of nausea. The symptoms make me feel hopeful after 9 months of trying for this baby. But of course I'm not looking forward to full-force morning sickness either. I never really thought of 37 as AMA before (my midwife encouraged me not to worry about it when I was 35 last time around) but the RE I was seeing the past couple months said my age was interfering with conception so now I guess my age is one more thing for me to have anxiety about oof. But I'm getting betas drawn this week and hopefully an ultrasound a couple weeks after that so hopefully that will put my mind at ease.
I’m 36 (37 in a few months)
I’m 4+6
Overall doing well, a little on edge just hoping things progress normally due to not wanting to start over again due to my constant aging and not wanting my littles too far apart in age 🤣
Doing pretty well, it’s all still sinking in that this finally happened. Last time I made it through a full pregnancy I was 30, so I’m sure this will be a reality check for me.
Mostly doing okay. Glad to have this board to let out some nervous energy while I wait to make appointments and stress about everything. 🙂 Also thankful for a group of AMA moms to talk to! I was 31 when I had my first, so I'll be curious what (if anything much) is different this time around.
Freaking out! Just found out today. We were planning for it but it was our very first month of “trying”. This will be baby #3 but my first ama baby. I’m a little nervous because I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. I feel like I have two healthy boys and had two healthy pregnancies I’m freaked out that something is bound to go wrong this time.

How far along are you: 5w and 3d
How are you doing with everything at the moment:
This is my first pregnancy and I’m really struggling with thinking about everything that can go wrong. I’m not having many symptoms which makes me nervous. My husband and I are traveling next week and while the doctor assures me the plane will not cause a miscarriage, I’m still nervous! I think I will feel better after the first doctor visit.
How far along are you? 8 weeks 4 days
How are you doing with everything at the moment?
I am doing well so far! Normal symptoms I suppose- boobs hurt so bad, bloated beyond belief, headaches, little nausea but not too bad.
Thank you to all for sharing your journey with me.
Age: 34 but will be 35 next week.
How far along are you? 7+1
How are you doing with everything at the moment? I’m okay. Feeling icky but not nauseous or anything. Just feeling like I’m sick, if that makes sense. I don’t have my first appt until 8/17 and this is the longest I’ve waited for a first appt. I’m nervous and excited to see the baby on the ultrasound.
