Congratulations StepawayfromGoogle! I was also 41 when i had DS who is now 4.5. Sorry to read of your 3 miscarriages. I know that feeling as I'd had 2 previously and had given up hope when the miracle happened and i didn't even twig that i was preg for the first 3 months! Ttc no. 2 has been v hard and being 46 i am worried more than ever of late mcs and worse. Lovely to hear of your news ..thank you for sharing xx

Hi ladies, I just wanted to say hello and pass on something that I hope might help.

I was on the over 40 ttc thread just over a year ago and for about a year before that, on and off. This April at the age of 41 I gave birth to DD2 who is now a happy 13 week old. I'll be 42 next month.

I'd had three miscarriages in the year before I conceived and I was broken. I'd honestly given up hope that I might have a happy ending.

The only things I did differently with this pregnancy were baby aspirin, ubiquinol and reflexology. I was already taking b vitamin complex and ttc multivitamins. No idea if any of them made the difference.

But I just wanted to say don't give up hope. It can be a long, hard and painful road ttc in your 40s but ultimately with a happy ending.
