Anyone out there over 35 and pregnant?
Actually i'll be 39 when I deliver. I'm
nervous about the whole thing especially
the delivery! Worried about the higher
risks of defects and complications etc...
Feels strange cause my other kids are
teenagers! One will be 18 soon...Anyone
out there have any complications due to
maternal age?

I just wanted to let you know that my
mother was 36 when she gave birth to my
little brother (who is now 8 years old)
and I was only 17 when she had him (the
most wonderful birth control for me
ever!). She had a perfectly normal
pregnancy and delivery! The only thing I
heard her say was that she gained more
weight with him than she did with any of
the rest of us! Don't worry - everything
is going to be fine!!!

I am pregnant with my sixth child and I
will be 39 when I deliver too. I just had
my fifth baby last year. The only
complication I had was gestational
diabetes. They put me through so many
tests because of my age. This will be my
fifth c-section. Just enjoy your pregnancy
and block everyone's opinions and views
out. Good Luck!
