[quote=Anonymous]I got pregnant every time I had timed, unprotected sex between the ages of 33 and 40. A healthy baby boy, two miscarriages, a healthy baby girl, and then a termination for chromosomal abnormalities. I took the miscarriages in stride and felt we could keep trying, but the pregnancy that ended in termination was my last shot. Grieving that loss took a lot out of me and I was definitely less of a mom and wife during that time (understandably so). It also made me understand what the impact to our family would have been had we chosen to give birth to a baby with likely fatal abnormalities. Yes, there are many stories of 40-something pregnancies that end in healthy births and I don't in any way mean to downplay those stories. At almost 44 with three kids and a husband who isn't fully on board, I'm sorry to say that the odds of being one of those stories are likely pretty low.[/quote]
