Hi, Joelle! I am new to the group as well, and am glad to have found this support network. I will be turning 37 in September, with a baby due in December (I also have a 20 month old daughter).
Very excited to hear what others are feeling and saying, and wishing everyone a healthy pregnancy!

I am 38 and 16 weeks pregnant with my 3rd. I have found a lot of support here on Babyfit. Sometimes people around you may not be as supportive or understanding. At least that is my case. Try not to think about your age and just focus on staying healthy and growing a beautiful baby. There are a lot of women who have done this older then us. Also just keep checking in with your Doctor. He/She will tell you what's going on and how you and baby are doing. Stay positive!

I will be 37 in July and I'm expecting my first child. as for now it's grand, no sickness, only very very very minor little cramps, still no weight on (maybe 1 lb, and I'm 8 weeks now...), only some spots on the face and some mood changes... emotions running high LOL, and I feel very tired at night time.

You will be just fine you'll see. You'll have a nice and healthy baby as a Christmas present :)

welcome among us! xx

I turned 42 before the end of my first trimester. We were fine. Worst part is that I had gestational diabetes so did my sister who's youngest is 8 years younger than mine and she is 2 years younger than I am. Age isn't a factor in that, genetics are.

Just wanted to say hello to everyone :) I just turned 37 and am expecting my 2nd child. I have a 4 yr old daughter. We've been trying for 2yrs after being diagnosed with PCOS. I am 4 weeks along and over the moon, but a little worried about having a child at this age.

Congrats to all the moms! xx
