Pregnancy at 37

[slimfiz]

Hi, I am 37 and just found out that I am 5 weeks pregnant and I am soooooo scared. I want this baby because God put him/her there for a reason but I want to make sure I can get through this in one peice. Anyone in my shoes?

Wow ...in the last couple of weeks I just wanna eat everything and I crave foods that weren't that much of an interest to me. I feel like I can't get enough to eat and I am only 10 weeks along.  Who feels the same?

I will be 37 by the time the baby comes so I am sure you will be fine

I am in your shoes hun!  I am 37 and just  found out I am pregnant. I was terrified!!! I am now going on 10 weeks. My main concerns are "Am I going to get throught this safely"? Your not alone, and yes god put him/her in us for a reason. I am accepting that this will be not only a beautiful, but safe pregnancy. I am just doing everything the doctors asks and yes there are going to be a few extra precautions that the doctors want us to take like additional testing to make sure everything is going well with our wonderful mature bodies. The best of luck to you sweetie!

I had my first baby at 37, 2nd at 40, and now I'm pregnant at 44. The first 2 pregnancies were great-no problems. My OB said he would rather take care of a healthy 40 something than a 20-30 year old that does not take care of themselves. I'm in your shoes, but older, so I understand your concern. Make sure you have a good OB. Good luck!
