Pregnancy: After 35 Community
Pregnancy after 35 brings challenges & issues younger women may not experience. ... more
I am 41 and 25 weeks pregnant with my 6th child:) I have had two miscarriages since this past November, it was so devastating:( Long story short got on progesterone, and a single round of clomid and here i am!! I have read researched and pounded the internet getting info, and I have seen way lower chances, such as like 1 in 6 for downs and find out their child is perfectly healthy!!!! I also have a 2 year old, and I was pregnant at 38, never have had the blood testing done because I know as you pass age 30 those tests automatically throw you into high risk category just by age alone, my ob is so against them:) Now, the Harmony test! Yay! I would never get amnio after my miscarriages, I would be so terrified, but I also got the Harmony test done, this past week, I think my sample went into them on the 21st, and I am also waiting on my results, omg. it seems sooooo longgg, I pray that all goes well for you and your baby, keep me posted! I will you also, please please try to not worry so much, I try, and I know that it is practically impossible, but you have a way higher percentage chance of your baby being absolutely perfectly healthy than not:) My 20 wk us done at 18 1/2 weeks was perfectly normal in every way they could see:)
