Advanced Maternal Age and Pregnancy (is 35 geriatric??) 

Love that!

Love that! Enjoy the moments mama! That's very similar to our 4th for ages for me and hubby, I was a bit older

I am 41 and just found out today that I was pregnant. I have never had a pregnancy scare and had tried in the past with 2 partners. I'm in a newer relationship of 1 yr and assured him I wasn't able to get pregnant. Now I am and am in shock. I hope you're doing well!

I’m 37 and took two test that look positive. I had twins at 33 naturally

zero judgement. There really are pros to having babies "later" in life!! Enjoy

27??!!!? I hope you told that person where to go!!

Good gosh girl 🤐😔

What kind of vitamin deficiency?

Normally D and B12

You’re crushing it ♥️♥️

Here pregnant at 38, unexpectedly.Im extremely happy, currently 8 weeks.

I hope you get the good news you're waiting for very soon💖💖💖

Wow, Twins?!? I can't imagine twins period...haha, what a warrior! You could have a baby without Mr Right if you wanted to (some days they aren't all they are cracked up to be, lol)

I am planning for baby at 40 too !!

My condolences, dear. I hope your heart heals. Wishing you the best.

I’m 36 with no kids…..I wish you luck with your journey. I’m considering freezing my eggs.

A lot of them are not physical but situational. So more settled in life, usually more financially stable, bigger network of support people around you to help with mental health and getting breaks to be more balanced, usually more informed, able to care for yourself more thoroughly. Basically the things that come with being an older adult can all lend to an improved birthing and postpartum experience.

I can only imagine the joy a few newborn babies bring to women in their late 40’s or even later!! Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro are in their 80’s and making kids!

♥️

There are pros to having kids later in life too! Everyone focuses on the “negatives” 👎🏻

I missed this message!! My goodness that’s a full meal deal you had hey??

I think though we don’t know what anyone is going through in their life so I really try not to pass judgement. I have a child on the spectrum and he is just incredible ♥️

I don’t think there’s any screenings for autism during pregnancy. But Down syndrome yes.

♥️♥️

Oh gosh that’s a scary rabbit hole!!

I’m pregnant at 35 and I had all the optional chromosomal test done and my baby is low risks for all of them. Which is the best option they give you. They can’t guarantee it so they say low risk. You can have a healthy pregnancy at 35. Try not to panic. I got pregnant first time trying to conceive.

Best person to ask this is your provider on when to try for your next baby but as long as you know there are some risks and you enter into another pregnancy with as healthy of a lifestyle and mindset then it’s a totally personal decision that would be so individual to each person! 🩷

So……. You had a lot of blood tests with this pregnancy- because of two previous miscarriages.. Were those two miscarriages not a clear enough signal that getting pregnant when you’re old isn’t a great idea?

@@jaymiller6009 not at all as miscarriages happen at all ages - it happened once with me before my first baby. I just gave birth to a healthy baby boy last week at 38 years old. And in six months my obgyn said I could stat trying for my fourth baby. I still have fertility and God blesses.

@Greentree_ Congratulations on the birth of your son! If your OBGYN said to start trying again for a fourth in six months, then I sincerely wish you all the best and hope you get pregnant quickly. If not, then make sure to have plenty of fun trying! Clearly your OB knows you, your health, as well as all other relative particulars. I definitely owe you an apology. My comment was completely ignorant and out of line. I don’t know you and I don’t know your situation and had no business making that comment. This won’t excuse my comment but perhaps it might help to explain it a little bit. A friend of a friend decided she wanted to try for another child before menopause set in, even though she had two sons and daughter who were all teenagers at that time. She was 46 and was told that it was extremely risky, her family physician was against it, etc. Her and her husband apparently spent tens of thousands on fertility treatments. She became pregnant and was told after a couple of ultrasounds and bloodwork that the baby was most likely “not healthy” and was told that terminating the pregnancy was something that her and her husband might want to consider. Well, because there was a chance the baby might be born healthy, she went ahead and brought the baby to full term. It was a baby boy with many severe defects. They kept their child for a few months and then surrendered the boy to some long care facility because they didn’t want “It” anymore. I am literally crying right now because I still remember those exact words from her and the tone in her voice when she said it; and that was over 20 years ago. That is what was fresh in my mind when I rattled off my comment to you and hit send. Again, for whatever it might be worth; I’m sorry for what I said earlier. I have no idea what it would be like to experience a miscarriage; let alone two of them. What I said was well beyond insensitive and was extremely hurtful. I feel ashamed of myself that I said that to you. You 100% most certainly did not deserve that… Not from me; not from anyone. What I can say is that I was there for the births of both my daughters. It was a life changing moment for me because when my first daughter was born, my life finally made sense to me. When I looked at her for the first time, I literally felt a change within me. My best guess is that it was probably some sort of natural hormone surge. I knew right then that her life mattered far more than mine did and I would do anything for her and would protect her at any cost. I experienced much the same thing with my second daughter two years later. I mentioned this because this is most likely what you just experienced with your son recently and will experience again within the next two years. Take care and I sincerely wish you all the best.

@@jaymiller6009 That was very kind of you, thank you so much. The story of your friend was very sad, she was indeed very old to have a baby.

I wish you the BEST of success with your sobriety and hope that your family is a happy solid one :)

Best of luck and wishes. I've been pregnant 3 times, first one i was 21 was a termination at 12 wks (I hadn't known until I got morning sickness, we made the decision for several reasons including having taken drugs, drinking at a party - we were ggoingg through hectic things and Lookin back was so young andimmature. Second pregnancy a miscarriage and third an ectopic... Just turned 32 and ssamee partnerr bought up tthee risks after 35 but I've become So scared of having children. I want them to be in a good place. We both deal with mental health issues, I just don't feel equipped even though I had always wanted to bee a parent

Right? Like pardon??

It's true lol

I'm actually not too sure. I am Canadian so the health care system is different. You would have to check with your provider or insurance to find out.

Are you going to kill your baby if they're not perfect?

Autism has nothing to do with chromosomes. I haven't researched it but I would vote no :)

That's caused by vaccines.

Autisme is a fate!!! Most of Autisme came from heredity...

@@mohamadaliffshafiqazizan2788 Autism isn't "fate". It absolutely is not genetic.

Women who aren't feminists give birth later in life too.
