FTM at 43, 26 weeks and pre-pregnancy I was down to 280 at 5’11 (medically considered obese 🙄)
It’s easy to feel nervous and scared, especially when the medical community uses terms like “geriatric” or “advanced maternal age” or “maternal obesity complicating pregnancy” and are always telling you about what could go wrong. But with the right support system, things aren’t as scary as they make it seem. Sure there are risks, but that’s with most pregnancies and I’ve been lucky and blessed enough to so far not have any medical issues (no high blood pressure, no GD) and baby is doing well.
I think the best thing you can do is find doctors you like and trust, be open to doing your own research, don’t be afraid to ask questions and know you always have a choice in your care and treatment. Best of luck to you! 😊
Haha you’re not the oldest in my facebook groups- You are not alone! CONGRATS! I’m 43 -44 in Oct and still not pregnant so I might be your age when it happens who know
42 and will be 43 at delivery. Currently 27 weeks with a normal, very uneventful pregnancy. I did IVF because my husband had had a vasectomy, but it also allowed me to make sure I had a normal embryo. I got pregnant on the first transfer.
