I want to know if anyone had any problems, and worries. the stastics scare me, but they did when I was 43 and had my son. I had a easy time with my last, much better than my first three that I had in my 20's.

  Re: Anyone here over 45 and Pregnant??? Reply Contact Hi there, I'm 45 and 30 weeks along with my 3rd. I conceived naturally and unexpectedly and my pregnancy is unplanned but not unwanted. So far, I'm feeling great other than normal 3rd trimester nuisances. Healthwise, baby and I are doing very well. Are you trying to conceive naturally? My eldest child is soon 20 and has mixed feelings about this.

  Re: Anyone here over 45 and Pregnant??? Reply Contact Hi, I just had my 4th baby last month at 45 yrs. I will turn 46 next month. Everything went really well. I did get CVS testing. I also had a baby when I was nearly 42 (and one at 39 and one at 36). This last pregnancy was really the most special... maybe because I knew it was the last. No more tired or sick than any other (maybe a tiny bit because of the older kids to care for). Good luck to you!

  Re: Anyone here over 45 and Pregnant??? Reply Contact I am 40 and I am 9 weeks pregnant and so far doing well. I have a 23 yr. old daughter and that is it. My husband is 56 and we've been together 15 years. He has 2 older children. Ok, we we tried to get pregnant and couldn't. We did fertility and I had a miscarriage in April of 2007. I went to the doctor and had a heart beat at 5 weeks but it was only 90 bpm so he said that it probebly wouldn't make it. He scheduled me to come back a week later and there was no heart beat and they did a DNC the next day. Then in June I had a chemical pregnancy and by May of 2008 we gave up. They told me that I had less than 20% chance with IVF. We cancelled the maternity insurance and moved onward. Then in February of 2009 I got pregnant w/o trying at all. It is an absolute miricle. I know that people always told me to stop trying and relax because the stress effects the ability. I guess it is true. But, I will say that I am still alittle nervous. The heartbeat was 120bpm at 6 weeks and even faster at 8 weeks. I go back at 11 weeks. My husbands count was great and the motility was also. My eggs apparently had a high FSH level which meant that they were older than me. They thought that they were older than me. So, even if I could conceive they weren't strong enough to implant. With all of that said it is a miricle that I'm pregnant know.I say,"DON'T GIVE UP!!"

  Re: Anyone here over 45 and Pregnant??? Reply Contact I am 40, will be 41 when I deliver and am 24 weeks pregnant with TRIPLETS. We did IVF - 2 eggs but one split so I have identicals and a fraternal. So far I have not had any problems at all with this pregnancy, not even morning sickness. We did an amnio and all babies are healthy. Now I just hope they will stay in there and bake until about 35 weeks. Good luck to you!!!!!!

  Re: Anyone here over 45 and Pregnant??? Reply Contact I am 45, soon to be 46, and very surprised to be having my third child in January. When I found out a month ago I was as scared as I could possibly be. My husband is silently scared to death. He is soon to be 48 and can't get over the fact that he will be 60 when this child is 12. Since the day I saw those double lines on the pregnancy test I have realized that this baby is a spectacular gift from God and I pray every day that he/she will be healthy and the biggest joy in my husband's (and, of course, my) life. Both of my children will be in high school this fall--my daughter will be a sophomore and my son will be a freshmen. My daughter found me out before I got the nerve to tell her. She was a little upset that I didn't confide in her but I was so worried about my husband's adjustment. My son, on the other hand, was completely oblivious and very happy when he found out the news.
