If your pregnant and over 40, is there anything youd recommend??

[fruitandbarley]

I'm 41 and After two miscarriages and trying for the last year and a half to get pregnant again, is there anything anyone could recommend that may help please??

Hello, I've been there too and it's so difficult. I found Preseed helpful in getting pregnant. After 2 miscarriages, it took me a couple of years to get pregnant again but when I did, I took a junior aspirin every day. I told my consultant I was doing this and he only said to stop a couple of weeks before my due date. I finally had my lovely baby girl at 46. I know that when you get pregnant you will worry every day and check each piece of tissue - but if I could go back in time I would tell myself to enjoy it - but I probably wouldn't listen either! Good luck.

Thanks crumbly, I'll get some of that. It is hard, I feel so down, and like I'm quickly running out of time. I don't think I'd ever enjoy another pregnancy like my first after losing two. If it happens I will try though.

I had a miscarriage at 40, then my little girl at 41. I was advised to take junior aspirin too in my second pregnancy, which seems to have worked! I was anxious the whole time though
.

Thanks. I've already stocked up on asprin, I just need to get pregnant now! I know there's no quick fixes, I was just clutching at straws, hoping someone might say something I'd not yet heard of.

Hi - will send you a PM

When I was trying to conceive DC2 I had every app going, tracked my ovulation every month and tried every remedy going.
Nothing was working so decided to just stop trying and book ourselves a holiday with DS and enjoy ourselves.
Once the holiday was booked I fell pregnant. Currently 13+2.
I know it’s difficult to just stop ‘trying’ but it honestly worked for me and a few others I know too.
