45 and 9w pregnant with baby #13

I will be 45 years old in March, and I am nine weeks pregnant with baby #13.

Of those 13 pregnancies, I have had three miscarriages.

Since I was 35 years old, I have had six pregnancies and three healthy baby boys.

My last baby was born two months before my 42nd birthday.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My own sister gave birth to beautiful twins when she was 42 years old, and she was/is obese (over 350 pounds), has diabetes and asthma.

All these high risks were against her - and she still had a relatively normal pregnancy and healthy twins!

I also know of another woman who had her son when she was 44 years old.

You can do it too!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was speaking with my doctor who's wife had the first of three children starting at 41 years old.

She apparently had two miscarriages before her first successful pregnancy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have had two successful pregnancies in my 40s (one at 40 years old, one at 43 years old) and four miscarriages (including one miscarriage five months ago).

I turned 48 years old last weekend, and I am still trying though the odds are smaller.

My doctor says I can still get pregnant, and I'd love to have one more baby.

So, who knows?

I will be 45 years old in less than two weeks.

I am 11 weeks pregnant.

We heard a good strong heartbeat today!

I bought a fetal doppler - so now I can listen to my baby's heartbeat anytime I want!
