Its very common these days for women to hav thier babies later for various reasons, medical community needs to take that into account! I wouldnt change a thing!! I was pregnant at 33 & had my first at 34, this one I will turn 38 by time baby born!

I turned 35 in June and due in Nov, because I turned 35 during pregnancy I am considered "high risk." For my sono I had to drive an hour away to a high risk hospital and have a high risk Dr do my sono. I have NEVER had any problems with my other babies, this is my 4th,  my last baby was 20 mos ago!! So this is all new to me as well, everything is fine with this baby and no problems! Btw my bby hb is 150's, it's a BOY!!

You are not old at all! I am am older than you and I am having my baby number 3! A lot of women are having their babies after 35 even after 40! As someone mentioned here the fertility drops but it is bit impossible to have healthy pregnancy therefore healthy babies!!! Have a good day !!

I think since most of the maternity community judges the fertile years as they begin to decline at 30, then more so at 35....dont feel bad. Maybe the more appropriate term should be mature maternal age, instead of advanced ;)
Is it bad that I have no idea what my kid's heartrate is? Maybe she said and I didnt pay attention. Im having a girl though...lol

They told me the same at 35 so you're too young before 25 too old after 35 better get your stuff straight in 10 year span according to medical community or you're just doomed
