Too Old?

[jaf9407]

Just found out I'm pregnant with my third. I'm going to be 39 when this baby is born.  My younger is going to be 6. I think I'm too old for this! Anyone else start over older in life? Curious how hard this is going to be.  TIA

I am 38 years old & pregnant with my 3rd...actually my 4th. My 3rd child died at birth. My youngest now will be 8 years old. I did not think I would be pregnant again. Cause I've lost 2 pregnancies. One died at birth & the other was a miscarriage. I am so scared right now. After a long time being pregnant again.

No you're not too old" I'm 37 will be 38 in June. I've had 3 m/c's.....one at 7wks, one at 18wks(girl), one at 16wks (boy) and a chem this past June2016. So feel privileged and your 6yr old will be able to help out.  P.S. We're still TTC

Hi, hun! I'm 40 yo. Finally I started family and we both want to have babies. I had unsuccessful tries TTC for 13 months with no result previously. So we applied for help in a fertility clinic overseas. Tests showed nothing but a low amh. Apart from being 40, and having extra kilos they found no explanation for my infertility. I'm finally due to start injections as soon as my period starts. I'm so over waiting. I'm a little beside myself. I believe I have needle phobia so can;t take it easy at all.
This was a little background. So we're struggling to have a baby at 40 yo. I'd say this is because I failed to have the right man by my side earlier. I wanted to start my family first. Then I wasted time on relationship with my ex partner who brought nothing to my life but disappointment. Now I'm blessed to be together with my dh. Yes, this is ripe age and some unknown issues, but it's definitely NOT late to have babies! If only we could pass our ivf cycle successfully..
I'm happy for you and you LO. Get rid of negative thoughts and enjoy your pregnancy to the full! All the best of luck x

Hi and congrats. I am currently 38 and will be 38 when my baby is born. But this is my 5th pregnancy and I was determined to have a baby and not only that but something just would not let me give up. I don't think this age is too old, I used too. Society would have us to believe that we are too old but I got to thinking that before these "babies" started having babies we weren't too old not we are. As long as we are healthy and are up for the challenge I think you will be just fine. I started getting healthier before baby because of my age and I wanna be able to keep up with my lil one :-) and after he is born I am def getting back in the gym. I wanna be able to run and play with my baby not watch someone else enjoying all that time with him. I wish you all the best MOM, you got this

No you're not too old. I'm 38 years old. I understand how you feel about starting over. I have an 18 year old 9 month old and the baby due in November. It's like I have two sets of kids.

That's awesome though hungrylady.  I'm happy for you.  How's the pregnancy going this time around?  Is it different from when you were younger?
