Baby in late 30s

Hi! I have a 5 year old daughter and me and my husband have decided to try for another one. I am so excited but also a bit anxious. I’m currently 35 (36 in august). Everywhere you read it says how your chances of getting pregnant is lower and pregnancies are riskier, so I guess I’m just looking for some reassurance that everything can go fine! 😅

My husband and I decided to start trying again in December 2024 (our little girl was born August 2019).

We fell pregnant twice last year, both pregnancies ended in the first trimester, one before heartbeat was seen and one after.

I am now 38 and 13+1 with what appears to be a healthy pregnancy 🤞🤞 and we've had two reassuring scans saying all looks well.

It is definitely possible, but there may be bumps in the road. Wishing you luck x

Had my youngest at 34, classed as geriatric 😂 I had my others in my teens and early twenties and there’s something different about having a baby mid 30s, my baby’s dad is 40, definitely not too old

Just had my 2nd and I’m 37. Pregnancy was fine, if anything they may monitor you a bit more. I think there’s risks with all pregnancies no matter the age. Only thing I probably get tired and ache more 😂

or plus sized pregnancy ♡ I’m plus sized and I’m not really stressing about the weight gain, I see a lot of other pregnant women obsessing about not gaining any weight during pregnancy. Some of them say they have lost weight and my midwife says she doesnt want me to lose ANYTHING. Thoughts? She emphasized it so much that there should be no weight lost during pregnancy so I’m confused that other women are losing weight?

Scared about dangerous side effects from MMR - did you and/or your baby have problems with it?

I had a really bad reaction from it when I was 1 and I’m nervous about giving it to my baby because of that. Then again that was 27 years ago so I’m wondering if it was just that time. Did you have a bad reaction? Did your baby?

Please don’t judge me!!

I went on bumper cars with my 4 year old and didn’t even think about the fact I’m pregnant!! This kid was a maniac driver lol and we did some bumps as it was a small course. I’m 5 weeks along. Should I worry about the baby??? I’m stressing now. I legit didn’t even think about it as my mind went to doing something fun with my toddler.😭😭
