Any older expectant mums Around?

Yes - the risk factors worry me too...

 

[Princess81]

To be honest if you’re in good health they seem to be minimal. The most significant that I have seen is gestational diabetes, but again I’d say overweight people are more at risk than a healthy BMI person over 35 years

 

[GBLiz]

yeah i wasnt seen as high risk at all once they have realised i'm normal weight and no health conditions.

 

[Princess81]

I can see them changing the age ranges of ‘normality’ to be honest.

I was told before my mmc that i would be classed as high risk due to being 42.im healthy and fit and have normal bmi. I guess every area is different x

you would start off that way but they might consider you not such a liability after all as time goes on if all stays ok!

 

[Princess81]

I can’t wait. I’ll be 37, pcos, previous preterm Birth (36+6) and telling them I’m having a baby at home (provided it’s fully cooked this time obviously). Just waiting for the row

Midwife told me I’d have to see a consultant but that most likely they would sign me back over to the midwives as my bmi, bp etc are good.

That tends to be standard practice - they may well offer a glucose tolerance test too.

I’ll be very nearly 37 when I’m ttc again - I’m a midwife and recently cared for an58 year old, whose husband was 70!!

I had DS at 35 and will be 37 a couple of months after this one arrives, due in April.
