Alicia64 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I became pregnant at 38 w/ twins. I turned 39 three months after they were born. I've never been a young mom so I can't speak to that. Always an "old" mom, but I LOVE it. I know I'm wiser, kinder, more fun than I would have been even in my early 30's. It's so easy to keep things in perspective and not freak out over things that just don't matter. Also, my obgyn is preg. w/ her third baby and she's 38. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so jealous! :party: Alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elise1mds Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Oh heavens no. One of my friends had a surprise pregnancy when she turned 40 and then had two more - planned! - when she was 42 and 44! She had two kids out the door and gone by the time these three kiddos came along and all five children are healthy, intelligent, and wonderful!

mompotter Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Not at all. In fact it seems to be more and more common to have children later now. Good thing since I didn't even start until I was 34. :) You can do the math if you want. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I was weeks shy of 40 when dd was born. Congrats to you! ETA: I've known a couple of families who purposely chose to delay starting a family until the wife was in her late 30's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 If you live in an urban area, you won't even be the oldest mother with an infant in tow. Truly not too old nowadays, especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilymax Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Well, I'm sure you feel reassured by now, but I'll add my voice to the mix: deliberately TTC my third at age 40 and he was born a month after I turned 41. I did have gestational diabetes for the first time ever, but that is a risk as you grow older. (I'm heavy, and have PCOS, too.) I wish more than anything I could have one more...yes, try for that little girl, but welcome a boy gladly if that's what God gave me. DH is convinced we should stop, though, so...anyway... Congratulations!!!! I am sure you will be just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber in SJ Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Not too old at all!
