  • Congratssss. =) im not 42 but my aunt is. Shes pregnant with her 2nd child. He first is only 3. Shes excited but anxious because shes not sure how the baby will be with her being older
  • Thanks everyone. When I had my first, I was younger than most my friends/coworkers that had kids. Now I am much older! Not many people I know can relate
  • I am 39 trying for my third. I too feel older than everyone! Had my first at 31 and 2nd at 34 good luck!
  • I will be 45 when the baby is born in Oct., worried about all the possible complications I may have but trying to be optimistic, prelim. Results of my CVS, the FISH test came back normal, now just have to wait for the final results in 10 days. I hate waiting!
  • I am 37 and I am so nervous with this one because of my age. I had a nuchal scan last Friday so waiting on results of that to come back.
  • Yay!! Congrats! My mom was 42 when she had me n she had had her tubes tied for 7 years. This baby will definitely keep u young!

  • My mum was 40when she found out she was pregnant with my little sister. Within 5 months of finding out my brother and sister both told her they was expecting too, so she gained a grandson and grandaughter aswell as her own whilst being an older Mum. This was 14 years ago. With my bro and sis theres an 18 month age gap then she had me 9 years later, then my little sis 13 years after me. Talk about big gaps ha!
  • My mom had a baby at 40. I think that is awesome. I think she was getting lonely at home since most of left the nest years ago. (it was obvious that she was lonely)lol So her grandson is 5 months younger then his aunt. She is a wonderful mother.... to 6 of us!!
  • Yep. I just turned 40 on Sunday and this is our first! \:D/
  • @babyruth Hi, Im 41 and pregnant myself.. Im due in July.. Nice to meet you!!

  • I turn 39 this Friday. Pregnant with my first, due 10/31.
  • @jenzoe1 hi back :) did you have tests for high risk ?
    Natalie
  • @babyruth. I had a million tests done before I even conceived because of multiple miscarriages. And, yes, I have been seeing a high risk Dr. As well as my own. Had amnio Done @16 weeks. Now going through weekly non stress tests. Happy to report I have a healthy baby in there.:)


  • 38 here. This is my third. Finally a girl!!!! 24wks. Bloods came back abnormal but amino came back perfect. Congrats to you.
  • Congrats ! It was meant to be! I am 26 ans my bf is 38 and this is his first and my second..we are bth really xcited and weve decided to leave my tubes untied since he is prepared to make a baby factory out of me lol..truth is he wished we had tried sooner no matter what age babies make life and intimatcy a wonderful journey as opposed to boring routines..enjoy your new adventure!
