Pregnant 40+

[WolfMother326]

Hello,
Just curious if there are other mums on here 40+ who are currently pregnant?
How are you feeling?

@Chelle2406 congratulations! I just had my 2nd baby at 40, I had my first 3 years earlier and a miscarriage between the two. I hope this will be a great pregnancy for you.

@WolfMother326 thank you so much. I can't get excited. I'm so scared. I want it so much. I haven't told anyone, not even my partner, because I'm scared of something going wrong

@Chelle2406 I totally understand. I was a nervous wreck my whole first trimester. How far along are you?

@WolfMother326 I'm 6 +5. Last time I found out at my 12 week scan the baby had just gone and I started bleeding so heavy in the scan room. It was horrific and I'm scared it will happen again. Apart from sore breasts on and off I don't have Any other symptoms so that's freaking me out too

@Chelle2406 that's so tough. I had a missed miscarriage too, it was awful. But then my next pregnancy was normal. It's really uncommon to have them happen twice though. I'm sending you lots of good thoughts. Let me know how it goes ♡

I’m 40 and pregnant with my third (7th pregnancy in all but had a few late losses). I’m only 13 weeks but have felt much sicker this time. I have a 4 year old and 1 year old to run round after though so don’t suppose that helps!

Just got my screening results back today and although classed as low risk they’re much much higher than when I had my 1 year old so it’s got me a bit worried tbh.

Hey ladies,
I dont really know where else to go and spill my heart so im hoping someone here may have some advice or guidance, im a mess 😢 . Im nearly 41 and found out we were pregnant, bit suprise, but really excited 💝 were now 13 wks 2days and i have 7 and 4 yr daughters who are equally excited.
We had our dating scan at the hospital yesterday. The baby looks so fine, cute, ws wriggling, opening their mouth etc 🥰 but the lady explained they measured high fluid, 5mm. She breifly explained theres a number of reason that could be, chromosome conditions, cardic issues etc and there is a small chance it can correct itself. But she said on 3 occasions, im really sorry to be giving you the bad news today. Like she knew something 😢😢

They did my bloods immediatelt and phoned me lastnight to as us to go in this morning to see consultant who will re scan. They explained the consultant may be abke to then tell us whats happe ning.

I am a mess. I feel empty and just so scared. I feel guilty to both the baby, my partner and my 2 daughters.

The baby looks totally fine in itself, the lady even confirmed, all there, looks fine, legs, arms, head, brain, heart etc im just so confused and scared.

Has anyone had anything like this before ??
Sorry for the overload but i really dont know where else to share where people will understand 💔
Xx

We had a high nuchal measurement of 6mm a couple of years ago. Everything looked fine on the scan apart from the NT measurement and unfortunately for us, after a lot of tests/scans the baby was found to have a severe chromosome problem (not one of the 3 main trisomies they screen for) and we ended the pregnancy at 20 weeks. I read so many of similar measurements where everything ended well though so try not to lose hope. It’s a really difficult time having to go through all the tests etc, I hope you get better news soon.

Hey lovely,
So sorry to hear what you went through, heartbreaking 💔
We went back today and scans confirmed concerns so we had a cvs.
Also had a phonecall about the combied trst blood results and its high, theyve given us a 1 in 2 downs syndrome and 1 in 125 edwards/patau.

My hearts just frozen its so emotional 💔

Were waiting on a call with cvs results in a couple days 🙏🙏

I hope your family are all happy any healthy now lovely xxx

@Kimlpool I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I really hope you get positive news and good support.
