Conceived #2 on my 2 year surgiversary (and am 40 years old)

Congratulations!!!  Relax and enjoy your pregnancy.  You can still watch your intake(eat very healthy) and exercise to keep your weight and health in check.

Thank you, all, for the warm welcome!  :)

welcome..I also had my last baby just before I turned 40... He is now 5 months old..it was a surprise..but such a blessing. I had a scare with the stupid AFP test.. my advise dont take it...I stressed my entire pregnancy for nothing!!!!~all was well.Aiden was healthy and perfect:-)

Thank you.  I have heard that the AFP is full of false positives;  my friend had one.  I think I'm going to skip it.  

Congrats on the birth of your son. 

thanks.. Yes, we are at higher risk anyway with our age..but with that said.. even then the odds are so low that there will be any issues.. I don't know why I did that stupid test..I didn't with any other ones.. but I regret it. It truly ruined my entire pregnancy ..I worried the entire time.. and all for nothing!
just enjoy... its such a blessing to be pregnant anyway:-)

Congratulations and welcome!!

 Wow!
Congratulations!
Were you actively trying or was it a nice surprise?
I am going to start actively trying at age 39 in a few weeks. You give me hope.

Hi and thanks!

About 3 weeks ago (after a  long time thinking we were stopping with one child), we decided we would TTC #2.  THREE WEEKS AGO!  The second we decided to try, we got pregnant.  I went off the pill on July 6.  Yikes!

I am throwing baby dust your way. 

By the way, I am only 2 months short of being 41  

Double yikes!

Hi Congratulations and Welcome!! I am 39 and pregnant with #5 (3rd pregnancy 1st post op) and for me have I decided NOT to worry about my age anymore as long as I am taking good care of myself I just don't care anymore!

I will say I have stressed big time over the weight gain and have not made the best food choices during my pregnancy and now trying to get myself back on track so I will be closer to getting back on track when my little man is born!!

Again welcome we are glad you are here!!

Thank you, Beth, for the congrats and the sound advice. 

Congratulations on your pregnancy!  May it be a joyful pregnancy for you!
