[quote=Anonymous]In terms of AMA, I now feel lucky that my OB when I was pregnant with DD never ever mentioned AMA to me, and I was almost 43 when I had her.  I did have 2 miscarriages before her so of course my age was definitely discussed as a major factor, and DH is younger than me and had a lot of questions about my age and pregnancy, so we discussed it there too.  But when I got pg the 3rd time and things were looking good, my OB never mentioned AMA and I didn't get referred to a Perinatal doc until there was a specific concern with the pregnancy (it had us worried for awhile but everything turned out fine).

I didn't know to be grateful then, but reading this thread makes me appreciate that I was treated like every other pregnant woman until there was a reason to treat me otherwise.  I believe that's the right approach.

Btw I went on to be pg 2 more times after DD, at 44 and 46, but both ended in m/C's.  The m/C's were difficult of course (one turned into quite the crazy drama!) but I would do it all over again just for the chance for another awesome kid.  DD is just amazing... And came out healthy and strong too![/quote]
