Becstar ... thanks heaps for sharing, so great to know i have a BB pal to ' feel ' weird with, LOL ... yeh, the two OB's i saw were both men ... looked at me like i was some criminal for having my 1st born bub at 40, also they kept verbally reminding me of what age i was (like i had forgotten) ... Well, my two beautiful midwives that saw me all through my entire pregnancy were cheering for me ... My pregnancy was just amazing, i drove everyone insane as i loved being preg so much, infact i told the midwives when i was 38weeks when standing in queue waiting for my appt that i wish i had two more months, needless to say the preg woman standing around me heard what i said & looked at me like i must be nuts.
All i had was HBP (due to being an older expectant Mum) & that was it ... i went onto have a drug-free vag birth (i only went 2days overdue). My midwives treated me like some goddess on the maternity wing, was very funny
Satya ... sorry to say BUT it's soooo NICE to know i'm not the only 43year old on the BB block, harr harr ... (lets not tell everyone being in ya 40's sux, let 'em all find out for themelves ... So, frustrating having a heart like a 20something & the inside body works of a 40year old woman, LOL i've gotta laugh or i will start crying)
... hi ya Cuddlepie , ... nah, i stopped Sharkey's only this past July when we had decided to no longer TTC ... i'm still a massive fan of Sharkey's as you know my story they helped my 10years of irregular cycle become a 28day one, just that was a miracle ... but the past few months my cycle has become irregular again which is kind of what i expected as i have been through some emotional experiences of late ... THANKU Cuddlepie for remembering (i think of you often here ) xoxox
(i still take Folate each day, that's all now ... i guess just peace of mind just incase !!)
When do you think you will test hun? You have everyone wondering, and wanting to know the outcome. hehehe. Goodluck, it would be such a lovely surprise. hugs
Lorelle - I didn't want to jinx you with my bad luck last night so I didn't post but just know that I'm hoping with every ounce of my being for a big fat ole positive for you.
And I hope whatever the result is, you keep in mind we all love you whether you have one child or 8.
csab ... i happen to have my annual woman's checkup tomorrow so i will ask the GP then, reckon she too will think it's either ovulation or something hormonal changing or maybe the emotional grief of losing my young SIL in Oct that made the shift in things.
I'm not game enough to do a HPT as i feel i will set myself up for a downfall ... and i am truely happy & grateful that i have experienced having my one & only bubba (even though she is almost 3.5years old ).
I guess i didn't expect my thread to make such a large impact on so many gorgeous BB gals BUT i'm so glad i did as it has made it a bit of fun for all to share this maybe or maybe not journey ... and it goes to show WE all just about share the same lovely HOPEFUL feeling given whatever the woman's age is
Whatever the outcome i couldn't be happier as i got to share it with you ALL as i would imagine it would be the very LAST time i experience this ' maybe ' feeling
I was meaning to say in my post that my cycle had changed and that I had sore boobs after O and also slight nausea so while trying for DD 1 year old there was quite a few times where I thought I was BFP...and the cycle where i got the 2 lines I had little of those feelings.
I was 40 when i fell BFP with her 41 when i had her and am now 42 with bubs due in March, so anything is possible will be keeping a eye out for good news, older chickies ROCK.
I really enjoyed my last pregnancy and was in great health the whole way, this preg has been a bit more stressful but i certainly don't feel my age and I keep having to correct paperwork cause they are putting me down as born in 1977, verus 1967. Yay for me I say!!!
