Pregnant at 36

[MrsZombie]

I'm preggo with #2 at 36. I'm shocked because I tried to get pregnant again when I was 32-33 with no luck. I just finally gave up trying for the past 3 years. Then boom! Out of nowhere. I'm pregnant. I'm so worried now because I'm older and I'm scared of the risks. I really hope all goes well

Don't stress about it.  I had my firstborn at 35yrs. I'll be 39 and half when my second baby arrives. I'm not worried at all. Pray about it if you are having fear. God bless!

I've been doing good. I am 40 years old and am 34 weeks pregnant with my first. Having a little girl on April 13th.

I'm 35 pregnant with twin boys. I am high risk for a few reasons age, twins, low thyroid and low placenta. Babies are growing on track and also tested negative for downs. I opted no on amino, but any testing through blood I did. Pregnancy now with twins, way harder on me than my singletons. Its also been 10 years since I've been pregnant. Just be positive and allow yourself to be happy!

I had my twins at 45...yep, I used modern technology  to get them, but I honestly feel great!!!  I had an easy pregnancy, and would do it again in a heartbeat.  Stay strong!  It will all work out :) btw they are 19 months old, and I have no problem keeping up with them

Thank you so much everyone for your positive words. I'm feeling much better now. I guess it's time to make my first Drs appointment.

Im 37 and a ftm due in 3 weeks. As you age pregnancy is a little rougher on your body. Honestly i can say this child ive had alot of problems with. But all pregnancies are different. After 35 your considered more high risk then when you are younger. Just keep in tune with your body and if anything feels wrong always ask your doc just so your baby will be healthy. There are many moms over 35 seems more of the trend now and not just the young ones. Good luck and congrats

I completely understand being concerned, I'm 35 myself with baby number 6 then getting my tubes tied!! So much for birth control! Doesn't work for me! I didn't ever worry about any pregnancies till this one and my previous son who will be 2 in July! But I'm almost 17 weeks and my lil guy is doing great! I wish you the best during your pregnancy, good luck!

I am 36 years old pregnant with number 2 as well. I'm just 5 wks along now but super excited. I miscarried last March but excited for this one. My aunt had her first at 40 y.o. and my grandmother had a few of her kids over 40. She had 7 total. I'm sure we're fine. :-) think positive. Worse thing you can do is stress. So just be optimistic!!

Lol I'm 42 in July and honestly apart from the worry of downs which us always there I feel no different as to my daughter at 31yrs. U r only as young as you feel. I am being treated as vulnerable but NOT through age. My last arrived @29 wks and ruptured her membrane plus have a bicornic so dont worry sweetie. You will be great. Can't wait due in may

You'll be fine! My mom had my brother at 41. Stay positive!

I am 39 going on 40 Sept. Just turned 15wks, was NOT trying to get pregnant. I have three girls, this being my boy. Their ages are 19, 13 & 12. My only visit to clinic was at 8wks I had.a free ultrasound done. I will contact a midwife when I am ready to push. Other than that God got 100%. I had two no meds hospital births, last one I opted for a epidural...thinking it would be my last pregnancy. But God had other plans for me. Keep your head up ladies, remember he kept the children of Israel safe in the wilderness for 40yrs. Be blessed.
