Going to try for a baby at 35

[mumcatclub]

Hi all,
I have some internal worries that I guess i just want to get out there, see if there’s any advice to ease my anxieties?
My husband and I have decided we will try for a baby, we are really excited.
I had a baby at 16, gave birth naturally, the pregnancy was fine. Since then, over the years, i have had a few abortions. Now i am 35 and i actually want to have a baby, i am worried it won’t come easily, and its making me anxious! Life is so different for me, in a good way and i am making all these plans to benefit my body such as reducing my sugar intake, take folic acid, am looking to reduce stress from work and live healthier to hopefully benefit us with our chances, but i have little dread/guilt cloud feeling like it wont work because of my age now and previous unwanted pregnancies.

OK. Cut out plastics and phthalates from your lifestyle and take coq10 and eat folate rich food.

I don’t think previous abortions reduce fertility? But maybe check with a GP
if you’re concerned.

Not sure they would do much until you had been actively ttc though.

The age is no problem at all. I fell pregnant first month of trying at 35. Sorry can't advise on the other past medical issues.

I had a surgical termination when I was in my 20s and when I was ready, fell pregnant on my first try aged 38, gave birth at 39. Try not to panic!

At 35 your fertility is only about to start declining slowly. At 35 I got pregnant with every unprotected ovulation, but unfortunately 2 were chemical pregnancies and one a miscarriage at 6 weeks. Fourth pregnancy was successful with no complications. Miscarriages are more likely the older you and your partner are
