Ok I have a serious question.
Ok I have a serious question.
Any of you wonderful ladies been pregnant and given birth over the age of 35?
My husband and I have been heavily debating having my tubal reversal surgery. My main goal of this is not to have more children but to be able to feel like a normal person again. The 2 periods a month with heavy bleeding and extreme pain and several days of nausea are getting to be way too much. Not to mention the extreme loss of hair and my emotions are always way high now and they never were before. It’s just too much.
Now my husband on the other hand would really like 1 more baby. I just don’t think I can physically or mentally do that again. I’m getting so close to my goal of being able to adopt (once my boys are out of the house) that I don’t want to backpedal on that.
Anyways, thanks for any advice and for reading this long paragraph!

I just had my youngest at 35. My pregnancy was fine and recovery was even better than my first. I had more discomfort with my second pregnancy but I don’t think it was due to age. I had a mild form of SPD which made laying down uncomfortable. If you don’t think you can do it again, then don’t. If you’re not 100% then I wouldn’t go through it all again and start over with a newborn.

That’s kind of where I am. I’m not 100% so I don’t think I should. My last pregnancy was fine but it was quite a bit harder on my body. I was more exhausted and in more pain than before.

My best friend just had her baby at 35 last year (she was 36 when she delivered). She was automatically considered high risk and all the extra monitoring that came with it but other than that she had a healthy pregnancy. She delivered full term with a c section.

I was 35 with my youngest. I was in my early-mid 20’s with all my other kids. It was my most difficult pregnancy. Or what felt like my most difficult.

Thats my problem! I had my first at 17 and my 3rd at 25. By the 4th I was 31 and it was a lot harder! Delivery was fine but everything else was exhausting! I just don’t know if I have it in me again and I’ll be 35 in about a week

My mom was 39 when she had my youngest sister. She had a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
I also worked for a couple who had twins when she was 45 and he was 54.

Wow that’s amazing!!

I just had my last at 37. I may have been a bit more achy but my back has honestly never been the same since having my first. I was considered advanced maternal age but the only difference that made in my pregnancy was that the NIPT was strongly recommended. I imagine I would have more energy dealing with a baby and toddler in my 20s but overall it’s been fine

I hope getting the tubal reversal will help you with your periods and stuff hun.

Are you sure the tubal reversal will fix the issue? Have you looked into being checked for endometriosis?
Heather··
Yeah, the dr said it was my only other option as I’ve tried several other things already.
Stephanie··
oh that would be good! I hope it helps you out!
Stephanie·
You could have him get snipped! 🤣 would getting a reversal fix the problems or would they still be present? Sounds painful and I couldn't imagine going through all that, I hope you get relief!
Heather··
My dr seems to think it would help since nothing else did
Your Worst Nightmare 😘·
My mom had me at 42 and my dad was 64 just don’t 😂

Tell him to get snipped if you have to get a tubal reversal. I would get a 2nd or 3rd doctor's opinion to make sure that is the problem before reversing it and still having those issues.

I will deliver this one when I’m 39. This pregnancy hasn’t been much different than my last, so far. I had my first at 33.

Had my first at 33, my second at 35 and am 38, pregnant with my third. The second was difficult, but I am 18 weeks now and still feeling great with this one. Pregnancy really does affect us differently each time regardless of age. I also know a woman who just had her second last month and she is 52.
