Im 10 wks pregnant after trying for 7 years. I was married and trying to have a child for 7 years, now divorced and pregnant. WOW. I've had 2 laproscopy surgeries to see if my tubes were open and looked what we got after 7 years. I have a son who will be 17 in July. Am I silly or what. Help with some encouragement please.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Well, after 20 wks of pregnancy, I had a bad miscarriage. It was devastating. I never thought I would have to deal with that. It was horrible.

B.,
This baby will be the light of your life. You will enjoy it so much. From the day your baby is born you will notice all the things you missed with your first one. I was 40 when we adopted our newborn daughter. She is 2 1/2 now and I can't believe how much I missed with my bio children when they were born. I think alot of women feel the same way when they have children when they are older.
Good luck and enjoy the precious life you are going to have.

Congratulations! My husband and I conceived our son, Gordon (Gordi), at the age of 44 :) According to my doctor I had the ideal pregnancy....no morning sickness, high blood pressure....it was a blessing! Ended up having a 9 lb. baby via c-section. Now that Gordi is 19 mos. he is a handful in that the doctor categorizes him as "busy". THAT'S an understatement and I wouldn't have it any other way. You know what they say; it definitely keeps you young.

The great part about it is that I've traveled the world, had a very successful career and am now ready to re-enter the workforce after 19 mos. at home. Life is very good!

Hang in there :)

Congratulations! This is exciting news. I am 37 and just gave birth to my first child in December. I am loving every minute of it! It must be daunting to think about what lies ahead now that you are divorced, but I do believe that things have a way of working themselves out for the best!

How exciting! What a blessing! I believe that as we get older we become more patient, and just think how much more patience you'll have this time around. Good for you!
Good luck!
