Doesnt being older make a huge difference.  I bounced through all my other pregnancies.  This one has other plans. Ive had my blood pressure go up and down like a yo yo and vertigo.  Not a nice combination.  Occasionally felt sick but no vomiting.im exhausted most of the time. All my complaints aside im thrilled, we're thrilled. Thanks for the well wishes.  Its welcomed and I wish each of you much happiness and the best of luck.  So my goodness how have things changed over the years. We used to laugh and say "im only pregnant", its just not the case anymore. Its taken very very seriously.  Do you think its a bit extreme in some ways.

Congrats to you and your new partner! I have 3 kids from a previous marriage and now pregnant with twins with my new husband. Big difference being pregnant at 35 with twins compared to my twenties with singles. Its been a roller coaster ride, medical issues plus high risk factors. But I'm 25 weeks babies measure right on track, no downs either. Let yourself be happy and try not to worry.

So how are you feeling? I am 39 as well and am now excited about the new edition. This has been a mixed emotion roller coaster because we were not anticipating being parents again, but God doesn't make mistakes. We are also wanting so much for baby and I to be healthy. Hormones have also played a factor in the up's and downs.

I have had mild but consistent morning sickness. A little sleepier than usual but other than that I feel amazing. I am 9 weeks today will do ny harmony test next week to become informed about any issues the baby may have. This test would allow me to find out the sex, but we are going to keep it a suprise until the baby comes.

I am just babbling, but thank you for reading...

How pregnant are you? Due date? Boy or girl? And if you don't know what would you want?
