Confused!! Unexpected pregnancy at 37

12 replies

Hi Ladies!
So, i'm here but i didn't ever expect to be saying this. Im 37, never tried for a baby but have found myself 6 weeks pregnant. Its never been something i would entertain but now i'm here i'm so confused. It's a miracle to be fair, i have stage 4 endometriosis, pcos, a pituitary tumour all of which are challenges with fertility. I suppose my question is, how has other peoples pregnancies been with all these issues? Not only that i'm overweight which is also not ideal. i'm scared to tell anyone because i can't quite believe it myself. Im married and have been with my hubby for 20 years, he's super supportive but i'm in a daze and don't know how to feel about this news. I'm already being sick all day every day which is clouding my mind some what. Can anyone just give me some advise on if they've been in the same situation and how they've coped with or maybe i'm panicking about it all and i should chill the heck out. Oh and how do i stop feeling sick all day everyday, its just crazy!!!

You can try antisickness meds via your GP. Also best to discuss how your health will be impacted / impact on a pregnancy and possibly having a child in the future.

If your being sick lots also make sure you don't end up dehydrated... If you are thinking that could occur then it's reasonable to go to sowewhere like a walk in centre or urgent care as opposed to waiting for the GP. Not sure if you can access 101 where you are.

Fingers crossed the herbal things help tho.

I was worried about whether endometriosis would cause complications during or after pregnancy, but it didn't and the obstetrician told me it's usually not an issue. It was all fine, and it was great not to have periods without being on hormone blockers. The combo of breastfeeding and the pill meant another year of period-free bliss after giving birth. I hope this is reassuring! I was 36.

I have endometriosis and had a huge cyst on my ovary throughout my pregnancy. I was assured it wouldn't cause any issues and it didn't.
