Anyone in this forum actually 35+ "years" of age and pregnant?!

Would love to swap experiences, regardless of how many weeks or months pregnant you are.

I'm 41 and 14 weeks along. I also have a 13 year old and 19 month old toddler. My last pregnancy went really well, and I'm hoping this one will, too.

I'm a few weeks behind you at nearly 6 weeks, am 40 and will be 41 when baby arrives. This is my first and at the moment the father isn't interested. A scary but exciting time lies ahead.

This baby is a huge surprise and has a big family to welcome it into the world..
Btw, I'm 41 and recently been told I have gestational diabetes, so we are getting monitored regularly to keep an eye on our progress.

I'm glad I found this page as Ive hoped to hear from other 'older' mums xxxx

I'm 45 & not to be a downer, so happy for everyone here doing well. I was pregnant with my 4th, & miscarried. Rough time there physically. Anyway, the reason I'm posting is because, this actually wasn't a surprise, sort of... we hadn't been NOT trying and my husband - married 3 mos wants a baby so badly. He is an awesome , good man. Mine are 24 (with her own 5 yo), 22yo son & 6 yo daughter. He is so awesome with her. Anyway, I really didn't think I'd even be able to get pregnant, percentage way low at 45. I'll be 46 in oct & love this man & would have loved to have a baby w him years ago. Not opposed now just nervous, esp now after the miscarriage. & thinking it's crazy & not smart & scared. So guess I'm just here looking for some ... idk what

It's nice to see so many women on here in our age group. It would be nice if they could update this app so we can stop hearing about end of pregnancy questions every few minutes lol!

@ brimorais, thank you  :-) I am going to try to get my toes done, but I've heard that can cause labor and my ob said I can go into labor this week, but I think she's wrong. I've been getting some last minute house cleaning done, getting rid of useless furniture and etc... I want the girls to come so I can, get into the mom mode and not feel so nervous.

@beccah2014, try to get a mani/pedi, or maybe a new hair cut this week to distract yourself. I'm sure you'll do just fine and well be an awesome mom! Don't be scared, you'll know what to do once you have your girls in your arms. It's nature! :-)
