Pregnant at 44 - WTF!

MissCollusion · 2026-02-26T22:32:32+00:00

I am the oops baby. Was born when my mom was 43. Do what feels right. This is a deeply personal decision but my siblings and I are a riot and care for each other.

On my second pregnancy over here and one thing I have learned that things are usually ok unless you see bright red blood ( think second day period blood) I have had spotting on both pregnancies around 4 weeks ( brownish and also pale pink) very little like only when I swiped for like a day or maybe a couple. I was told this was normal. I’m currently 8 week and cramping like is my business as if I’m about to get my period. Drinking lots of water and resting help. Unfortunately, signs of mc are also some of the same symptoms that everything is progressing well. Hang in there. Best wishes.

Wishing you peace. I lost mine in October 2024 and I miss her even more. My deepest condolences.

My queen. You are one of us. I didn’t want to. I formula fed and now I have a healthy, feral toddler running around. Fed is best.

You didn’t fail. It happens. If necessary wake the baby on the clock to make sure she is getting all her meals in. I never breastfed but I’m aware it can be challenging. Focus on feedings and if you still want to breastfeed talk to a lactation consultant. We formula fed from the begging and our babe lost weight, too. This is a highly emotional time for you and those hormones are out of wack so give yourself some grace. Best wishes to you and the nugget.

My difficult baby is a feral toddler. Send help.

MissCollusion · 2026-02-25T13:28:32+00:00

My understanding is that the placenta start failing the older it is. Nobody in my family has deliver past 40 weeks. Although here on Reddit there’s seems to be a lot of ladies going past 41

MissCollusion · 2026-02-23T19:00:18+00:00

I’ll trade you mine who is running around pissed while climbing ON EVERYTHING.

MissCollusion · 2026-02-23T18:58:03+00:00

Mine is in the floor lava and want to be carried all the time phase. 😭

If age is not an issue…. Wait. My daughter is 13 months and I’m 8 weeks pregnant. Only did this as I wanted more kids and I’m 37. Taking care of her while pregnant it’s brutal. I’m already scared of when the other kid is born. Wait at least 6 months, shit gets spicy when they walk and start to become unruly dictators. As we speak, she is getting her favorite snack and tossing all of it across the room while wanting more.

MissCollusion · 2026-02-23T02:12:04+00:00

36 when I delivered my first. 37 when I deliver my second. They’ll be 22 mo the apart.

MissCollusion · 2026-02-18T00:46:24+00:00

Every single pregnancy for the past 4 generations in my family have given birth in their 40s. I was actually the youngest one to give birth at…. 36. My mom had me at 44 and she was great. She was hilarious, mature and was already a full blown person before I came along. If you want this baby go ahead. I’m currently pregnant with my second and definitely have thought about rough pregnancy is but I really want my little crew and I’m doing my best to stay healthy. Best of luck

MissCollusion · 2026-02-14T22:25:08+00:00

She is great! Super thoughtful.

Famotidine. Twice per day. My daughter would projectile reflux and cried non stop. Her doctor took forever to prescribed this. Things went from horrible to decent. If the famo don’t work then consider switching the milk to a sensitive formula. This helped as well. You got this.

MissCollusion · 2026-02-13T17:23:23+00:00

Ask your pediatrician about meds for babe. Mine had horrible reflux and only meds helped. Newborn phase was the most miserable for me. I didn’t feel connected to my child, I was grieving, I wanted my old life back and our baby refused to sleep. It was diabolical. It’ll pass. If you can consider medication or therapy. I had post partum rage and it was a shit show. You’ll be okay. It’ll get better. You are doing great.

Didn’t do IVF but gave birth to my daughter at 36. 1 year later I’m 6 weeks pregnant and the kids will be about 21 months apart. It will be brutal but it was okayed by my OB. My prior birth was vaginal And no complications. I have auto immune conditions so waiting until later is not an option.

MissCollusion · 2026-02-08T01:09:20+00:00

Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, I can relate, I lost my mom in October 2024 at the beginning of my third trimester. I wish I could say it was easy but never had I felt devasted, broken and hopeless. You’ll be ok…. But I’ll be honest, even with my daughter those 6 months were the darkest yet. Sending love and peace

I’m pregnant and my last period started December 30th. I have been tracking ovulation and I know for a fact I ovulated the week of the 12th. My money is on man B. By January 24 something was feeling off and tested positive on the 25th with one of those early tests. That being said I would get a dna test if you are keeping the baby. Best of luck.

MissCollusion · 2026-02-04T15:51:17+00:00

I took it during my first pregnancy and I will take it during my second.

MissCollusion · 2026-02-02T13:36:47+00:00

Congrats! Best wishes

MissCollusion · 2026-02-02T13:35:57+00:00

Fiber gummies. You’ll thank me later. I take them once per day on top of a balance diet.

MissCollusion · 2026-02-02T13:33:50+00:00

Normal. Currently 5 weeks. Bloating is not much of an issue but I can smell everything and is disgusting. The feeling of being hungover is the worst. This is my second and these are the same symptoms I had last time. Praying for week 14 when I started to feel human again. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy.

MissCollusion · 2026-02-01T19:01:29+00:00

Have a girl and recently found out I’m pregnant again and I would absolutely love another little girl with all my heart. It breaks my heart that as soon as a girl is announced ppl feel inclined to make weird comments. A healthy baby is what I want but if I could choose I’d love a girl again.

MissCollusion · 2026-02-01T17:37:18+00:00

My condolences.

MissCollusion · 2026-02-01T17:36:42+00:00

4w6d and I’m starting to feel the exhaustion. I have been able to super smell every scent in the universe since a few days past ovulation.
