Who has gotten pregnant after the age of 35?

Question

How was it? I am 34 and wanting to get pregnant but am scared it will will too difficult because I am older or that my baby will have problems. Any advice?

Answer 1

I delivered our first child when I was 31, our second child when I was 36 (both are healthy and happy) and we're not completely sure that's it, we may want one more. 34 is not old, the most difficult part of having one in my later 30's is I'm more tired and achey, that's all. If you're healthy and your doctor doesn't think there's any medical reason you can't have a baby then go for it. These days women are having babies into their early 40's, and with no problems. I honestly think it's better to have a baby in your 30's, by then you probably have a secure relationship, a secure career and you know yourself - in your 20's you're still trying to figure out who you are. I can definately handle the daily in's and out's of children since I'm older - I partied and had a good time in my 20's and now I'm having fun with my children and it's good.

Good luck.

Answer 2

I will be 39 when my baby is due (which is on February 2).

I will be honest and say that this pregnancy is a bit harder on my than my last (I was 32 then). I seem to be a bit more tired this time around. And a bit more achy. AND the chances of Down's Syndrome increase a bit after age 35. But I think you are young enough to not have to worry about that. Just have a blood test done when you are around 16 weeks.

All in all I would not worry if I was you. Start an exercise/walking routine now to get your body ready. Start taking pre-natal vitamins now BEFORE you conceive. Talk to your family doctor to make sure he agrees that you are healthy enough for this big step you are considering.

Best of luck to you!

My final infant became into born whilst i became into 38 years previous. My being pregnant became into surprisingly uneventful different than I stepped forward Gestational Diabetes, which will nicely be something mothers over 35 handle greater in lots of circumstances. It became right into a marvel being pregnant and we've been presented dissimilar opportunities for sorting out, yet we declined to take them. We have been conscious that the possibility for beginning defects does bypass up with the aid of fact the mummy gets older, even though it became into no longer an selection for us to terminate the being pregnant so we did no longer relatively locate it mandatory to understand if there have been any issues. My hard artwork and transport went purely advantageous and our infant became right into a superbly healthful 6 kilos 14 oz. born at 40-one weeks. that's considered necessary save in mind that jointly as the hazards do strengthen with the aid of fact the mummy's age will strengthen, this would not mean that all and sundry mothers of a definite age would have infants with issues. Many, many infants are born to mothers of their 30's and 40's or perhaps 50's without issues.

Answer 5

I had my first child at the age of 41. My Grandma had my uncle at age 44 so I figured I would be fine. I had a great pregnancy and gave birth to a happy healthy baby boy. I had an amnio to see if there were any problems and that eased my mind. My suggestion to you is...."Go For It" I was concerned but it went very well. You will be fine.

Answer 6

I got pregnant at 40, had the baby at 41. He's perfectly fine. No problems at all.
34 is still quite young, really.

Answer 7

I am 36...just found out 3 weeks ago. I can say I am terrified. My husband is happy....I guess I am also, but more afraid of the starting over with a new one after the oldest is 16 and the "baby" is 12. WOW...just go to doctor, have all necessary test done, and remember....you are not old, but your no spring chicken when it comes to "eggs". Take care of your health...and the rest will go fine. Good luck trying.

Answer 8

I am 35 and 32 weeks pregnant with my third. It is difficult on me personally but I have pre-existing medical conditions that make it more so. For most, pregnancy at 35 is not difficult.

Answer 9

I was 37 when I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't trying, obviously. I wanted him very much.

I had an amniocentesis( which was no big deal) and he was normal.

I had a healthy baby boy at 37 weeks a month after I turned 38.

He is 14 now and the light of my life.
