We had our first when Monika was 37, and our second when she
was 39. Both were homebirths!

No, wait a minute. Stupid me. I'll be 38 the the first week of
September. I'm 37 _now_.

Gads. You know you're a grown up when you forget how old you are.....

With my last two children, I was 30 and 31. My sister was 41 when she gave
birth to her son. I also know quite a few women older than 30 and still
having babies. :o)

Surely what you really mean is "I'm 24".
"No, wait. Hang on. I'm 37."

I was 24 for an awfully long time, quite unintentionally!

[Carol Ann]

Wow!

This is great! I'm sure there are more. I'm still shocked! I'm so glad I
found this newsgroup! It is nice to know there are mothers (and fathers)
here to help and support each other.

Having stopped taking the water pills at the advice of my OB, I'm really
beginning to swell!

I went from 157 on Monday to 161 today (Thursday). I'm drinking 3 liters of
water daily. Argh! Is there ANYTHING I can take???

I had my first at 34, second at 37 and third at 41. All perfectly
healthy boring pregnancies and healthy babies with all their bits.

First one was a section because I had a stupid doctor, next two were
VBACs with no interventions. All three were 42 weeks, all three were
big kids (smallest was 9 1/2 lbs)

I had my three at 33, 35, and 37 (almost 38). My daughter has some
developmental delays (gross motor delay and a mild speech delay), but they
don't seem to be related to my age when she was born and I wouldn't trade
her for anything!

I'm 40, due September 18 with my first (and almost certainly only). Two
good friends of mine were also surprise-late-life mothers. My
god-daughter's mother was 41 when she had her daughter, and had actually
made an appointment for an abortion before changing her mind...and never
looked back, obviously. Another friend had twins at 46, and didn't even
find out until she was 6 months pregnant with them. She'd thought she was
going through early menopause. (Imagine having only 3 months to adjust and
get ready to have twins...)

Another more recent friend has just found out that she's pregnant with her
second, at 46. She had her first at 39.

I'm 36 and pregnant with my first. If my predicted due date is
correct (we'll see to that at my first appointment in a couple of
weeks), I'll deliver about a week before I turn 37.

I am 38 and expecting my first baby next February. I will be 39 then.

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

I had my DD right before my 38th birthday, and now a DS due right after I turn 40.

Enjoy this wonderful time.

Thanks everyone!

I am in the company of a very large group of mommies! I feel so fortunate
to know to search for newsgroups. I don't have any friends here in
Columbus. I came here to help my mother after the death of my stepfather in
2001 and can't seem to leave so I go back and forth from Atlanta to
Columbus...ARGH!

It's nice to know I can talk to you all!

~Carol Ann

[Valerie Rake]

Hey Carol
Is that Columbus Ohio? If so, the city has a reputation for making
temporary residents permanent. DH and I are two of apparently hundreds
of folks who came to Ohio State and can't come up with a really good
reason to leave......

Wow! There really are so many women having children later in life. I feel
so blessed......I just pray for a healthy child.

Now, how do I tell everyone???
