I am 40- 16 weeks pregnant IVF after 12 years of various treatments, a couple of early miscarriages etc so it's definitely been a journey.
I've had 4 scans (6 weeks, 8 weeks and 2 x NHS dating scans) all have been as they should be. We had the downs, patau and Edwards test at 12 weeks- low risk.
I've had no symptoms since the beginning which I know makes me lucky but it's also unnerving.
I am constantly anxious that the baby will just die inside me or already has. I know from reading other threads that this feeling is common and the odds are in my favour but I also know there is a chance that things can and do go wrong. I developed a decent bump at 14 weeks which has now shrunk, I know it was probably bloating but my stupid brain tells me it's because the baby stopped growing.
We have a scan booked on Thursday as reassurance and my mum is coming along- I'm terrified we will get there and have bad news. Anyway sorry for the long post just seeing if anyone else in same boat or can offer some reassurance that I'm not completely insane!
