Geriatric mummas (only playing hate that term)

[Sunnierdays7]

Hi,

I am new here. I am 42 and ttc baby number 3. I am scared and going into my second month.
Previously no issues falling pregnant but due my age am worried it may no longer happen.
Am looking for any success stories and advice on supplements etc.
Be nice to connect with more mummas. X

Hi ladies I'm 35 birthday was Jan 22 I'm also a bigger lady size 22/24 I've already lost nearly 2 stone so far so between my age and being bigger built I've convinced myself I will struggle ttc anyone else a larger lady tia xx

Hi CC, I conceived, carried, birthed and breastfed all three of mine with a BMI of around 40. Currently pregnant with 4th. Every body is different - just be as well as you can be, physically and mentally and you have as good a chance as any of having children. My last midwife was bigger than me and pregnant and says the NHS massively over-exaggerates the negatives of being overweight. Good luck!

@Beachsidesunset thank you so much we put so much pressure on ourselves I need to think more positive appreciate your comment xx

@Beachsidesunset that's very reassuring. I've just been told by the consultant to lose weight. My BMI is 27.

@Thejoyfulstar I've started conceive plus fertility and ovulation support vitamins there is 50 mg of CoQ10 in the ovulation tablets per day after 4 vitamins would you recommend a separate higher dose to take along side my other vitamins tia xx

@Gabby82 I just ordered the amazon's choice one! I gave then away after I got pregnant so can't remember the name sorry. It was in a black container if that helps!

3DPO and dtd twice in my fertile window... feel totally normal, my god this is a head fuck! 🤪

I woke up with some sharp cramps this morning, they’ve dulled right down but haven’t gone away. I’m between 3 and 5DPO I think (according to symptoms and a calendar!) Could that mean anything?

I also had a dream I got spotting, for a good year when I first had my period as a teen, I used to dream the night before that I’d come on. It became so reliable that I was able to pop my San pro in ready the next day.

Hi all hope you don’t mind me joining. I’m 42 and TTC #2 after 2 miscarriages. Nice to see I’m not the only ‘geriatric’ still trying 🤣 Due my period in a couple of days and getting obsessed with symptom spotting!! Hope everyone doing ok xx

At the grand age of 47 I am pregnant. It doesn't feel real, except for the bloating and slight cramps and I'm trying not to get too excited. There is a long way to go and such early stages yet.
I don't feel at all like a geriatric but I am sure I will get some stick for being pregnant at this age. Is it just me that feels like this?

May I join your chat?

I’m 44 and thinking of ttc baby number 6 🫣

Congratulations!

Currently 22 weeks aged 45. Had a low risk Harmony test result which was a relief! Good luck to everyone here 😀

I'm 35 and just found out I'm pregnant with baby no 2 due on the 26th of December.Wishing you all lots of baby dust.x

Good morning ladies! I am 41 and TTC number 2 after 3 losses. I have a 2y old who I conceived at 37 first time trying. I developed an autoimmune thyroid disease after my pregnancy so have certainly had some challenges. Have a plan now if I fall pregnant again. So now it just needs to happen!! Due period tomorrow and certainly feel it's about to arrive! Good luck to all and congratulations to those pregnant ❤️
