Hello! Room for another one?

[Sarah_sun]

Hi!

I'm Sarah and a relatively new member here.

I have been a member before when I had my youngest son who is now 8 though my username was different then.

I found out last Friday that I am pregnant and my due date looks set to be 3rd May 2016.

This pregnancy was quite a shock to us and came out of the blue, however, we are delighted!

This will be our fourth child. We have boy/girl twins who are about to turn 17 and an 8 year old boy. All very spread out!

I'm excited but anxious on a number of levels, the main ones being:

1. I had a ruptured eptopic pregnancy two years ago and have been up and down with my weight since then. I'm currently under an endocrinologist for this. Due to the previous ectopic I am planning a trip to my GP on Monday to book an early scan.

2. I am 36 now and will turn 37 before this baby arrives

3. This will be my third C section without a doubt.

4. As a nurse on a busy surgical ward, I will need to learn my limitations - fast!


I would be interested to know if any of you are in the same situation or similar and I look forward to meeting you all along the way!

I do apologose that this is duplicated in the first trimester thread though I couldn't quite work out how to delete it!

Hi Sarah and welcome! Congratulations!!

Not in exactly the same situation but I also had a ruptured ectopic as my first attempt at this pregnancy business, so hugs, it's very scary and unpleasant isn't it

And I'm an older mum too having just hit 41. Pregnant with my second miracle. I had dd when I was 37, a natural birth luckily.

Thank you for the kind welcome.

It is quite scary but off to GP on Monday to arrange my early scan.

I look forward to reading about more of your journey too
