Is that too old?????

I don't think its too late! Many American women are having children much later than before. Some after a long career. Some things which I have read indicate an older parent is more patient and other benefits as well including having more wisdom. We all know the older one gets, or the younger as some people say ;-) the more life means to you. This could be the reason older parents succeed.

Well my Mom had me when she was 45 years old. I think that it's a bunch of bunk when people say that a woman is not very fertile in her 40's (Lol! Be careful of that one!) So you're never too old, it just depends if you want to spend those years raising a child or not. But 35 is definitely NOT old.

MoreThis is a reply to # 55,498I'm 37 and 4 months pregnant with my second child. My daughter is 4 years old, so I started my family a little later than some people. So far this pregnancy has been fine. Because of my age, my doctor wanted to do more testing for birth defects including amniocentitis. I declined and just went with blood workup called quad screening. I am going for the ultrasound in 3 days. The doctor is sending me to the hospital for a special ultrasound instead of doing it in his office. I noticed that the doctor was more pushy to do more testing because of my age but this is just what his training requires. I plan to go back to work after 4 weeks off and will breastfeed this baby like I did my daughter (breastfeed to age 2 years). A supportive husband and family and a commitment to being a mother again is all you need.
Good Luck!

This is a reply to # 55,506Be careful with this screening, it can often give false results.
I know many women that have had false alarms with this screening, a couple were even told to abort! But chose not to and delivered very healthy and normal babies.
If your mind is made up to have a baby, no matter what happens it is almost best to do the least amount of testing as possible. Cuts out a lot of stress also. - Re: How Old is too Old to get pregan... onthejourney

This is a reply to # 55,506Good point. Unless you are going to abort the baby if they find a defect, then the tests are of no use and can even increase your risks. So don't be bullied into all of the tests.- Re: EXACTLY onthejourney #69242

What IS the point then? They tell you of all these tests, but they don't SOLVE the problem. They worry and cause stress. Also even the Sugar test, Im thinking I will pass. I hope I wont make them to mad! oh well!- Re: EXACTLY onthejourney onmyway

This is a reply to # 55,518You should reconsider the Sugar test as it will indicate if you have developed gestational diabetes. If you have, it needs to be addressed, mainly through diet. If it is not taken care of, your baby could have problems at birth with hypoglycemia among other things. Not to mention all the health problems it could cause for you. It could even result in serious problems for your baby before he/she is born.
If it is found that you do indeed have gestational diabetes, or are "borderline", it will most likely be treated through dietary changes, whilch will result in a healthy baby and a healthy you. (Gestational diabetes goes away after the baby is born)
For the record, I totally agree about the genetic testing. I wouldn't abort anyway, so why take a test that MIGHT indicate that there MIGHT be something wrong. Pregnancy can be stressful enough without all that!- Re: diabetes #69242

This is a reply to # 55,519Yes I know the Sugar test is the least harmful, thanks for the advice.
I still have not decided but I really hate taking things I think are a waste of time.
If I had gestational diabetis I would treat it with herbs, I do not believe in mainstream reasons and cures for diabetes. Its not something I fear right now!
But I do need to cut sugars, and I know just having that glucose with the preservatives arent good for me!
take care!

Just trying to help!:-) I didn't think I would have a problem either, but I was borderline gestational diabetic with my second pregnancy (I have 4 children). All I had to do was cut out sugars and watch my carbs. I too believe in alternative medicine, but I also know that alot of herbs that are perfectly safe for us are not safe for developing babies. I'm sure you know that gestational diabetes isn't even an accurate name as it is actually insulin resistance. Your pancreas produces plenty of insulin to deal with the sugars in your blood, but due to the hormonal changes of pregnancy the body is unable to use the insulin provided.
Anyway, that's just my two cents. I think it's better to know about harmful conditions that are able to be fixed or delt with, ensuring a healthy baby.
I hope I didn't offend you in any way. I certainly didn't mean to. Like I said, just my two cents.
Have a happy pregnancy! :-)- Re: diabetes #69242

This is a reply to # 55,521Yes I agree with you! I just hate having to do things that I think I dont need to.
I have had 4 children and never had a problem, doing the Sugar test everytime.
I do agree, at least with the glucose test, you can solve a problem, not like other tests they want you to do.
Its a good two cents and thank you for that! :-)
I'll put that tuppence in the bank!
Thanks!- Re: diabetes onmyway

This is a reply to # 55,522I didn't realize you were an old pro at this baby thing! You know exactly what's going on! I apologize if I sounded preachy or anything. I just hate for first timers to pass on something that is non-invasive and can actually make a difference in the outcome of their pregnancy simply because they don't understand what the test is all about.
And I'm right with you on not wanting to do stuff I think is unnecessary. And I HATE the glucose intolerance tests to the point that I tended to put them off till past the optimum time and my doctor would get "cranky" with me. I AM glad that I did it though, since it turned out borderline once. That way I was able to correct my diet before there were any consequences.
Good luck and I must say, I'm a bit jealous. My fourth was my last, mostly for financial reasons. If things were different, my husband and I agree there's no telling how many we'd have!Advertisement

This is a reply to # 55,523OH I would go for it anyhow! Come on just one more!
Actually this was a surprise we did not plan it.
We have a belief, and thats with every soul brought into this existence, the creator of that soul has sent down with it the means for it to survive.
I truly believe the blessings are sent down with the child, and all will be good.
Of course you have to work too lol!
You just never know! :-)
And no offence taken, it is good advice you gave with a good intention!
take care!

This is a reply to # 55,498My mum had me and my twin brother when she was 37 and my dad was 38 and I am 31 now. She had absolutely no problems conceiving or carrying except the usual complications associated with a twin pregnancy.

This is a reply to # 55,498I had my first baby at 31, my second at 33, my third at 35 and my fourth (and last!) baby was born 6 weeks before I turned 37. My husband is 4 years older than me, which made him 41 when our youngest was born. I didn't have any of the testing for "older" mothers. I think they are unreliable, give too many false positives and cause too much stress.
I think if you don't have any major health issues, you have several good child bearing years left.
Good Luck!
