I have since divorced and remarried and my current Hubby and I were interested in having children. My hubby was 40 and I was 35 turned 36 once delivering our first child together. She was a healthy full term baby, I had no complications during pregnancy. We have had a second child my being 38 and he being 43 she was a healthy full term baby. I had no complications with that pregnancy either.
My thoughts are to go with your history and any health concerns your hubby could or does have. If you have had healthy pregancies before and are healthy when you conceive I don't see any reason for concern. My Dr, feels that way as well...I am currently 12 1/2 weeks along with our third child and I turned 40 earlier this year. My Dr. was not concerned about my age at all since all my previous pregnancies were fine and I was as well.
I do knot that every pregnancy is different, as I have "felt" different and had different pains and aches with each one, this current one is no different. I don't view that as a complication. Good luck and I honestly don't believe being "older" should make you worry any less than being young.
Good luck!View Thread

We were not planning another, but we were not preventing it either so it is not gonna be a big surprise or anything. My other concern is family and friends. I am not so sure they will be happy, so I have mixed feelings about how to annouce it with them as well. I am approximately 7 to 8 weeks along. I am gonna schedule a Dr's appt soon. I have miscarried in the past around 8 to 10 weeks so I am anxious over that as well, as to why I have not scheduled my Dr's appt yet. I guess I needed to get it off my chest and let someone know, so now maybe I can tell my inner circle. Thanks for letting me annouce to you ladies and any advice you could lend me I would appreciate.
Thanks,View Thread

See last time I became Pregnant with Daughter # 2 9 months after # 1 several of my family kept asking why? and Don't you know how to prevent that? and It was not in a really in a funny tone. So I know I will get talked about again because no one else around me and around my age is even interested in babies....the ones they have had are all grown up so Hubby and I are the only ones with babies in our families. He gets riddled alot too from his side he is 46 this year....
We (hubby and I ) talked about this before we got married, we want children and we are ready to spend out lives raising children now that we are older and more settled. I really don't care what others think but that does not mean that it doesn't hurt when you hear the mean words they say.
THanks for listening!
