Q: Update On Pregnancy
asked by: Becky on July 20th, 2007

just to let you know my mum went to see the doctor this morning. they did the usual tests on her and asked when her last period was. she can't remember so he has scheduled an ultrasound appointment for thursday.

she panicked having blood drawn cause she has a serious phobia of needles. i had to hold her hand. we talked about the complications that could arise but the doctor said there is no reason she can't have a healthy baby.

hope every one is ok. catch up with you all soon

yeah she is still pretty young. I know alot of women have their first baby at 40. I guess it's cause I'm 23 and she's a grandma that it's a bit iffy. But hey, you can't plan your life Confused

he is shocked. he has three kids with his ex wife who are 9, 6 and 3 and was talking about getting a vasectomy Sad

He sais he will support mum but it's not the ideal situation. i will be there to support her though 100%. I said I will have the baby and courtney over at mine whenever she wants. she helps me with my two so it's only fair

oh, i thought she was closer to 50. 40 isn't that old, i'm sure everything will be fine and it'll be nice for courtney to have a sibling close in age.

I think it is so great that you are there for your Mum and she has been there for you. My hubby was a menopause baby and his Mom was 42 and she did not have any problems, things happen! I hope your Mum has a great pregnancy! I wish her and you all the best!
