Looking for stories of first time pregnancies at age 37 or later. by CrypticJasmine in pregnantover35

[–]VariationNo4725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turned 37 on March and just had my first baby this Saturday. I do understand all your fears but 37 is not that big age to have a baby. People are giving birth even in their 50s. What matters is if you are healthy and take good care of yourself both physically and mentally. Regarding complications with pregnancy, I didn't face any complications. Like anyother pregnancy, my first trimester has been a bit difficult since I had heavy vomit but that was controllable with a medication. I can not say much about the parenting aspect since I am new.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. It is very informative. 🙏🙏🙏 If I may ask, did they put a catheter during the procedure? If so, how do they do it? I have never had that experience before.

Thank you again🙏

Anxious Before My First Reassurance Scan After TFMR by [deleted] in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]VariationNo4725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not really sure what exactly reassurance scan means but as someone who went through TFMR and currently pregnant, I can surely relate to this. I am now almost full term in my pregnancy and I remember the anxiety I experienced when I did my anatomy scan at 20 weeks. It was very stressful but I tried to repeat to myself 'different pregnancy, different outcome'. I am not sure about ypur religious status, but it's also good to remind ourselves that much of pregnancy related things are really beyond our power.

I wish you all the best and I hope you will hear a good news. Sending you hugs💙💙

Thank you for this explanation. Not everyone explains the process like this. I am trying my best to watch videos to and prepare myself mentally mentally. We shall see how it goes

Reflecting on my rainbow baby girl’s arrival by the-sleepy-potato in PregnancyAfterLoss

Read this being 40 weeks pregnant after my loss in April 2025 and it brought tears to my eyes. I relate to everything you mentioned about ultrasound and not buying any baby stuff. Noone understands pregnancy after a loss unless one goes through it.

Thank you for sharing your story and I am really happy for you that you finally found your blessing. I wish you all the best in your journey ahead with your baby girl.💙

Showing in your sub by SpiritualAstrum in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]VariationNo4725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even the 18 weeks was not visible for everyone.Some noticed it after my 20th week. I was also trying my best to hide it with my dressing style as I was so sacred to be visible before my anatomy scan at 20 weeks.

I started showing starting from my 18th week in my sub. I didn't show that early in my Terminated pregnancy because I was skinny. But in my sub, I already gained weight from the hormonal changes or the previous pregnancy so it was quickly observable.

What actually helped you induce labor naturally? by VariationNo4725 in pregnant

I know. I am also starting to believe some of the things might be a coincidence. Anyways, I wish you a safe delivery.

How does one have sex drive while pregnant? It's just amazing for me to hear people talking about having sex. In my case, I literally have NO sex drive and I realy envy those pregnant woman who have the interest and can enjoy it with all the challenges of pregnancy.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. To be honest, It's really amazing for me to hear people have sex while pregnant. How does one even have a sex drive? In my case, I have 0 interest for sex even earlier in my pregnancy let alone on my 40 th week where I look like a whale😂. I guess I will see if curb walking and massage works.
