hello everyone,
for the past two to three months i've been
having hot flashes, and my doctor and I
assumed I was starting menopause. Then
this weekend I found this forum and read
that a lot of women have hot flashes as an
early pregnancy sign, so I took a test on
saturday and wow, I found out I am
pregnant!
I am 43, and would be 44 at delivery, plus
have high blood pressure which I take a
beta blocker for, so I am praying and
hoping and wishing so very hard that this
pregnancy lasts and that the baby is
healthy. I have three kids, 16, 8, and 4,
and when I was 40 I got pregnant and was
ecstatic, but then miscarried at seven
weeks, so I am so afraid to get excited or
happy. I called kaiser and am trying to
get an ultrasound to date my pregnancy,
since I really have no idea how pregnant I
am, since my last few periods were
irregular.
I could really use some words of
encouragement if anyone out there has the
time! Thank you so very much, and good
luck with all of your pregnancies!
Suzette
