I dont eactly know where they are attached, feels like down by my ovary's. Dr's still trying to figure it out. They dont believe me, they were thinking I was crazy. But.... This last time I seen my dr she didnt act like she thought I was crazy, and she referred me to a .Dr who knows about abdominal pregnancy. Since the "normal pregnancy" tests do not come out for me. I go to see him on wednesday the 15th. I cant wait.

Greetings everybody out there. Just a word of positive advice. 40 is just a number. Your pregnancy will be fine as long as you are healthy, exercise and have no complications. I have seen much younger woman go through more complications than me - just turning 40 this year ! I have 2 wonderful boys 18 & 8. And got pregnant one after the other last couple of years and still feeling 25! So all those ladies who want a baby out there in your 40s. Go for it.

To become pregnant at 47, you are surely a blessed woman! Congratulations! (PS My mum was 48 with heart trouble when she had my brother and, apart from getting a bit tired towards the end and being taken into hospital for a rest two weeks before the due date, mother and baby were both excellent!)

Congratulations MOMMY!~
Miracles never cease! Proof there is a God in heaven! Studies have shown women who have children on in years are more tolerant, and a lot of times more"ready" to have them, than when they were much younger. Women in their 40's are more financially able to care for a child and most are educated beyond high school level. The studies showed that as we age, we are more prepared for rearing a child later on in years. Not saying young women are uneducated or not financially able ot care for a child.....I say its wonderful and a miracle for any woman to be able to have a child. I also say its wonderful and a miracle for God to "give " children through adoption (like my neice and nephew) to those who wish to become parents. Just want to ease some minds out there to all you terrific MOTHERS/ MOTHERS TO BE who are 40 . God bless you all and I hope you have healthy and happy babies! HUGS~

Wow, that's wonderful! How is the pregnancy going? I was wondering how the babies could survive without a uterus? I'm really interested on knowing how it works...and delivery options too.

I know 3 ladies here in my town who all gave birth at 49 and 50. It's truly an amazing thing. I am kind of hoping I don't have children when I am that age or up until that age....I have 6 already and that would end up being quite a handful!

I'm 39 and my husband and I have decided, just this week, to start trying. We met and married only 3 years ago and thought we never wanted kids. Now, we're trying - full steam ahead! I am dieting, taking folic acid, and making an appt with a genetic counselor on Monday. Neither of us wanted children our whole lives, now all of a sudden, we're really excited about the possibility of having a family. I'm nervous though, and don't want to get my hopes up. Smile

I haven't tried naturally (without protection), but am setting appointment to consider artificially. I feel healthy and really hope I become pregnant.

Pregnancy From 47 on
Is there something particular I can do to increase my chance of becoming pregnant at 47? Lots of folic acid? Anything else? Thanks!
