Have any of you over 40 expectant moms found any good social or playdate or mom's groups for the over 40 crowd? I know there are many of us in DC, but no one seems to know how to find each other.

I felt so young in this area when I gave birth to my first child at 29. For my second child, I was 32 when I gave birth. We're still young for this area. I've had someone mistake me for the nanny before.

this happened to me all the time with #1. she was her father's child - which means the light hair and bright blue eyes threw everyone off. I was asked this question frequently well into her toddler years.

I have a bigger age gap. I was 27 when no.1 was born. I'll be 39 when no.2 is born. I had secondary infertility, no fertility help.

Hey well, I waited for about 5 years after DC before we really wanted another--was busy building my career. Then for two years I thought I was making too much money and acquired a gambling problem. Because of that, DH was withholding. Finally got on the wagon for that and DH still wouldn't work with me (he was still mad). Finally I got serious, DH got serious and $40,000 later got pregnant naturally (that was the surprise!)

Best of luck to you too!! I'm so happy. I hope you are too!




again,wow. glad you and your husband came through the troubles. my father had a gambling problem when I was a middle schooler and my parents almost divorced. I think the road back was long, but they just celebrated their 41st anniversary on monday.

We're excited for a second. Wish we hadn't waited so long to do the IUI, and apprehensive about the reaction we're going to get from family and friends re: age gap, my age, etc. Money is going to be tight, but we'll make it work. Also, terrified I might be as sick or sicker than I was with #1 very shortly (only 6 weeks along). So, somewhat mixed emotion at this moment, but once we get through that when we announce the pregnancy in a few weeks, I think it will be all excitement.

did you seek out a diagnosis, at least? we got diagnosed 2 years ago - of course, it was "unexplained" which is basically "we have no effing clue what is preventing you from getting knocked up"

And apparently our issue was that my first pregnancy made a mess of my insides, making the path to my now-inverted uterus difficult to navigate. And I didn't even deliver vaginally, so why THAT was all twisty/turny/screwy is a complete mystery

Stupid body.

This never happened to me. I had my kids when I was 30 and 32. Where do you live that this is young? I'm in Montgomery County.

43 and 23 weeks pregnant with my first!!

So excited. The pregnancy has been a breeze so far - no sickness, little fatigue at the beginning. I feel and look great! I am in Fairfax County also (Annandale) and would be very interested in social/playdate/mom's groups for the over 40 crowd.

Same for me! I was 28 when I had my first and 30 when I had my second and I have felt like one of the youngest parents in their preschool by far. I am now pregnant with #3 and am 33. Still feel pretty young, comparatively. But only in DC. Compared to other friends in other parts of the country, I do not feel young at all.
