Pregnancy later in life

I’m 44 and currently 36 weeks pregnant. I did not think it was possible as a breast cancer survivor and I was in perimenopause and not ovulating regularly. I became pregnant naturally and it was an unexpected surprise. So far I’ve had no complications in the pregnancy, and hoping for a safe and healthy delivery soon.

I’m also 44 and currently 36 weeks (+1 day). What a coincidence Angelica! I fell pregnant quite quickly after trying naturally with my partner that I met later in life and have had a pretty straightforward pregnancy, aside from horrendous nausea til 31 weeks. I took prenatal (Procieve) for 2 months and tracked my cycles using ovulation strips and taking temperature daily. I feel very fortunate as I know how long and hard it can be for some. Keep the faith. I’m here if you need any support or info Xd

I turned 40 and the first time I had sex to hope to conceive I got pregnant!

I now have a super healthy and happy 16-month old son.

I'm not 40 but I'm 37 so not far off! Got pregnant with my second and it only took 3 months after I came off the pill. Quicker than my first at 28!

Gave birth to our son a 9 days before my 44th birthday. He was a lovely early birthday present.

I was 40 when I conceived my 2nd naturally. I was really surprised to meet school mums for my eldest I thought I’d be one of the eldest but at least 6 of them had children in their 40s x

I had 3 safe easy pregnancies and deliveries since 10/19.. I was a month away from 39, recently 41 and recently 43. I'm hopeful for one more go but would be at least 45 by the time they would be born 🫣

Also, we struggled to conceive for 2 years prior. I started exercising and taking Chasteberry/Vitex (samething, different names, make sure it's quality like Solaray etc.) We then conceived easily enough.

Not me but my mum conceived naturally, by accident at 47 years old, she had an easy, healthy pregnancy and big, healthy baby boy through natural birth, no issues.

@Angelica it’s a beautiful story and I truly wish you all the best 🫶

@Dionne that’s amazing, so happy it happened so effortlessly for you! Yes I am also taking some good quality supplements and tracking my cycle, baby dust to me!

@Laura Hey Laura! I am also 40 and TTC my second. I am praying for a natural conception. And it’s so nice to hear you found other moms of a similar age x

@Shelley that’s amazing ! I am also 40 and have just started trying! Baby dust to me 🫶

@Terri i had my first at 37 and now TTC my second at 40! The statistics are scary for women our age but these stories make me believe that anything is possible 🫶

@Faith that’s beautiful! Well done mama 🫶

@Sarah wow, that’s really amazing ! I wish you all the best for your next baby then! How are you finding being an older mum? X

@Rhiannon how beautiful 😻

I got pregnant at 39 (Found out 5 days before my 40th birthday in 2022). I had 2 boys when I was 18 and 21 then suffered 6 miscarriages with 1 pregnancy being twins (lost them at 20 weeks) all between 2004 and 2021. I figured it wasn't in the cards for me. In 2022 we got pregnant and had a fantastic pregnancy. I gave birth via csection to my daughter who weighed 9lbs 4oz in Dec 2022. She is perfectly healthy and so am I.

I’m 40 and have a beautiful and healthy 1 year old. Straightforward pregnancy , I actually have endometriosis and an ovarian cyst but still fell pregnant within a few months of trying 🙂

Easier than when I was younger. (I also have a 20yo and an 18yo..) Everything is easier honestly.. although lack of sleep is still rough 🤣

I am 41 soon to be 42 and have a 5 month old son. First pregnancy for me and had a no complications throughout pregnancy. I had a lot of anxiety but that was me overthinking.

I’m a year away from 40 and I got pregnant with my second born the very night we had unprotected sex. It happened with my first born at 37 also so it can happen x

I had my daughter when I was 41 she is just over a year old, was lovely pregnancy she was 3 days early & weighed 8lb 4oz she was my surprise baby & a lovely surprise. Had my 3 sons when I was 21,23 & 27 x

I had my third baby at 41. Great pregnancy and the easiest and quickest birth. Had my baby two hours after arriving at hospital. First baby was over 30 hours and second baby I was in hospital for 3 days prior

Hi, mom of 4 here. I had my first two (girls) in my late twenties and by boys at 39 (now 2 years old) and 41 (now 3 months) naturally. I did have a mc at 38 (3 months). My last two pregnancies went very well. I had more energy than when I was in my twenties but probably due to the fact that I train harder now than I did then. Be sure to take your prenatal vitamins. Also, you can track your cycle to increase your chances. Good luck!!
