Who here is actually age 35+

Altho I don't mind cross-posters, I would like to be able to relate to expecting mothers in my own age group (the purpose of this form). Who here is actually 35+?   I'm 39

I'm 46 and pregnant with my fourth. The first three are 14, 16 &2 all girls..

We are very lucky. Natural accidental conception, extremely healthy baby boy! We went through extensive testing to confirm that 100%  I'm 30 weeks and healthier than with my other the pressures combined!  We're all thrilled. Good luck!

I am a 44 yr old mother of 3 girls 22 20 and 18... 1 boy 12 .... A grandma of 2 almost 3 lol... I thought I had food poisoning for 3 days ... Took home preg ... The.first day I missed my period ... Boy was wrong ... I was in shock ...I have been blessed again !!! I love my life ... I found an ob... Before my first appointment I had a bad hemorrhage 911 the whole deal I was petrified thought I lost my little booger... At 8 weeks saw my doctor was still bleeding Alittle but ultrasound looked fine baby looked great ... Placenta had torn away from uterus ... At 10 weeks I had the harmony test ... Doctor said because of my age I was high risk ... For downs ... Trisomy 21 .... The test came back a week later ... She called me in for an early appointment ... I was so excited because the harmony test is ... My blood taken ... And babies DNA extracted from my blood ... I was going to find out the sex .... She explained my results ... DNA showed the xtra chromosome... Trisomy 21 ... She said my baby has downs ... I cried ... Was drepressed ...prayed ... And have done way to much googling.... Knowing in heart I do not believe in termination ....I have come to realise after a lot of praying ... Not only have I been blessed to have a beautiful little girl .... God has blessed me with an even more special gift ... I can not wait to hold her ... To see her... To love her ... I feel so priveledged and so excited that god thinks I am special enough to bless me yet again to love this special little girl downs or not ... I'm 15 weeks now .... I hope I have not offened anyone with my opinions ... 400,000 Americans have downs ... 92 percent of women who find out they are having a downs baby abort ... It's hard to believe ... Or Understand .... But I know we all have a choice .... I'm choosing love my baby No Matter What !!!
