Older woman decided to have a baby- again!!

[Lollysunshine]

Hi,
This is my first post so please be gentle with me!!
My partner and I have decided to try for a baby. I am really really nervous and apprehensive because I'm 38 so not a spring chicken any more!!
I have to children in their late teens and my partner, who is 30, has none.
I know I have to knock booze on the head but does anyone have any other advice?
It's ironic I've spent years trying my upmost not to get pregnant and now I'm going to domy best to do just that!!

Hi Lollysunshine - 38, pah! Some of us on here have years on you

But yes, it makes sense to get yourself fit and ready. Quit booze and cigarettes (this goes for dp too), get/keep your BMI under 25, take folic acid, get to know your ovulatory cycle. Most of all, have LOTS of sex (hooray for 30 year old dps!)

Good luck, Lolly - hope it doesn't take you long.
