Hi
i'm 43 and accidentally fell pregnant, I am now 18 weeks. I had my last baby 25 years ago. My daughter has 2 children. I had not had a normal period in almost 10 years. I went to the doctor to be tested for menopaus.

I am 43 and pregnant without a uterus. 22.1 weeks pregnant

Oh shut up fatfamily, get a real life please, im sick and tired of your lies.

Im sick and tired of your hate--i have done nothing to you. You shut up

I am 40 and went to a gyn recently to check out my chances of getting pregnant next year. He didn't seem concerned that there would be any problems. He just told me to take folic acid for three months before my husband and I start trying.

My mom conceived me when she was 38 and using birth control. Her youngest child was 9. I was a surprise.

Hello everyone.... I found out that I was pregnant 4 days ago and am still in shock. I went off the pill to get a check for menopause...I guess I failed the menopause test. I am scared to death I have 3 children 17, 14, and 11.....I am trying to get over the shock. I wondered how common it is to become pregnant at 46 and what to expect from a pregnancy at this time in my life.....Any light anyone can shine would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

i think you will be ok as long as you are being well-monitored by a doctor or midwife.


By the way, when I was born, my brother was 12 and my sister was 9. My mother said it was great that I had siblings who were old enough to help take care of me.

Hi malory...Thank you for responding...How did you feel about your mom being pregnant? I am worried about my children being embarrassed.

I'm the youngest. She was pregnant with me.

I'm 47 and i'm 24 weeks pregnant, still in shock!!! It's 21 years since I had my last baby

does you 21-year-old have any children? It would be wild if you gave birth to an aunt or an uncle :lol:

Yes, it is cool. That is how mine is, I already have 2 grandchild. When mine are born it will be almost 2 years since grandaughter, and almost 3 years since grandson.

How far along are you now?

I'm in my early forties. My youngest is 15 and nearly had a heart attack when she found out that I was pregnant. My kids ages are 25, 24, 17 and 15, i'm not a grandmother. Sometimes I wish that I was, so I would not be out-of-practice as I am. Starting over is going to be tough.

I agree with malory that you should be monitored by a doctor or a midwife. Also, as soon as they can, I am sure your doctor will order an amnio to test for any possible genetic defects. Older .Women are at a slightly higher chance for defects than other .Women. Also, I have been reading lately that a lower birth weight is fairly common so ask your doctor if your pregnancy is at a risk for that and what to do after birth to ensure the health of your child.

My mother-in-law is pregnant by accident and just turned 40 this past year herself. Her oldest, my husband is 24, his brother is 19, and then he has a younger brother who is 14. She is due in early may and her pregnancy has progressed normally, all of her test results came back good, and even though she still smokes and drinks a little (as an alcoholic she was not able to quit but she has cut down significantly), fetal weight is normal for its gestational age.

Yes, I will have a baby sister (in law) when I am old enough to have children of my own. My husband says that he's not embarrassed but whenever we're talking about her in front of someone else, he won't come out and just say, "oh, she's fine, she's pregnant." even when people do ask him how's your mother doing, he won't say anything. I told him he better become more comfortable with it because he's going to have to explain the presence of a child in our company when everyone knows that we aren't ready to have children yet and I doubt a child that looks like him in certain ways is going to be able to explained by "babysitting for a friend."

and, to add to that, the relationship between my mother-in-law and the "father" is not very good at all. He's denying that it's his but she's already had the dna from the amnio compared to his and dna doesn't lie. Plus, he just remarried someone else who does not like my mother-in-law and doesn't want him to have to pay any child support. The whole situation is very complicated and everyone has been so hard on my mother-in-law that I asked her if I could throw her a baby shower and it was the first time she had smiled in a while. Adding to this, hopefully this will be the first girl she's ever had and she's wanted a little girl since she had my husband. I've been trying to make this a happy time because every .Woman's decision to have a child, even now, should be celebrated and there's no reason for my mother-in-law or any other .Woman to feel ashamed.

Best of luck with all of your pregnancies.

Warning that having amnio creates a risk of miscarriage. I'm pretty sure it is voluntary. You can't be forced to undergo a procedure that has risks.



I think the only reason to have amnio is if you would have an abortion if there were something wrong with the baby. I personally wouldn't risk a miscarriage just to check on the baby, when I would find out if there was anything wrong once I gave birth.


My husband cares for the disabled, including autistic children and children with down's syndrome, so if our child was handicapped, we would just deal with it. But that's just us. I'm not making a decision for anyone else.

yeah, that is a sad situation and she does not deserve to be "pushed down" right now. She needs to enjoy her pregnancy, she might have a lot of concerns weighing on her already, not to mention a lot of pple putting their 2 cents on top of it. I will pray .God gives her a happy pregnancy and perfectly healthy baby, that will give back to her complete joy--for some of the disappointments she has endured in her life. .God hear my prayer, in .Jesus name. Amen

i appreciate you, for being a "great daughter in law" to her. May .God bless you.
