communities by age

[SuzannesHalfDozen]

I laughed so hard reading the comments on the post below. First of all people are so upset that they were in the wrong forum and had no idea it was divided by age as opposed to stage of pregnancy. I guess since the first forum starts at 18, everyone early on in their pregnancy should be evicted from the sit?!? LOL. Next, so many people said they would rather talk to people at the same stage of prenancy rather than their age. As a 38 y.o mother of 6, I would rather talk about balancing high school children & an infant, or about genetic testing & amniocentesis as opposed to your baby's daddy or what you should name it.

Mama87 do you perhaps mean *you are? The word can be shortened to *you're. Your means something someone owns or a behaviour trait belonging to them..... I assume you commented meaning the ladies in here were wrong in expressing the thoughts that it is nicer to be in a community that they can relate to? Also easier to.understand the spelling and grammar in?

I'm new here. Downloaded the app yesterday. I am 36 and trying for #5.  I read this thread and HAD to check out the 18-24 page. The first post was "i'm 8w 4d prego and got my navel pierced march 1st". I had to stop right there...

I honestly had no idea at all it was divided by age, but honestly I will continue to not post in the 18 to whatever age group. Mainly because I can not stand having to struggle to understand people because they can't spell. Also, I may be young, being as I'm 17, but I would much rather get advice from older, more experienced mothers. That is just my opinion though. (I hope I don't come across as rude or anything of that sort. Just simply stating my thoughts.)

OMG, that has been me for the last 3 months.  I thought is was by how many months!  Reading about all of these young girls getting pregnant for the second time and still in high school.  I am 37 and pregnant for my 2nd.  First was our IVF miracle baby and we are calling this our love child.  After spending tens of thousands of $ to have the first one and this one conceived due to a day off on valentines day!  Best day off ever ;)  I am now in the correct age group!

I am 35 and this is my 5th pregnancy but the only one to make it to this stage (13weeks).  I have had a lot of fertility investigations and ivf so I find it quite an anxious pregnancy and am still in denial that we will have a baby at the end of this year (although very hopeful and know stats are on my side now).  It is extremely unlikely an 18 year old has been in this situation so I think the age divisions are helpful.  I know there are a lot of 35+ year olds who get spontaneously pregnant and don't even consider miscarriage (lots of my friends in fact) but it is good to hear from people in the same mindset as you for support and to know you're not just a negative person being a bit more emotionally reserved (like I've only told a few close friends now and feel scared to tell in case I have to tell them it's failed again- yes i know it's silly but it's how I feel!)
