[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]917: I know I'll get the "you were just lucky" responses. My retaliation to that is: not everyone is unlucky either. Women waiting to have children until later, especially in urban centres, is the new norm. Fear shouldn't be the first motivator in having a child "now". Now looks different for each woman. And I'm 40, will be 41 when I deliver FWIW. I'm not even considered a high risk pregnancy.[/quote] Yes, you are, technically, if if your OB doesn't refer to you that way.[/quote] I had the required prenatal testing that pretty much is standard for all pregnancies these days... NT, cf, OGTT. Most younger women are getting the same testing electively. I'm not monitored any more than any other pregnancy, although there will possibly be more consideration as I approach term...like any other pregnancy. I'm under the care of a low risk provider (midwife). I'm 40, healthy, and have a healthy fetus. I just happen to be older. [/quote]
