Anyone have experience with pregnancy after 40?

Anyone have any experience with pregnancy after 40? Any inspiring stories out there? I need to hear one....thanks!

My Mom had me at 40 and here I yam! I was a month early.
And my daughter's father mother had him when she was 46.
  (Oops! Well, she was a manly woman...h/t Mud.) 
No complications, and he was 6' 4" and a genius. (Straight As throughout school/college.)

Planning to take the plunge?

Is this one of those trick questions where we're supposed to figure out who is related to whom?
I'm drawing a blank myself.

Mud, see edit.

Sigh.

You're so literal.

Heehee Hopsy....I think you made it worse!  But so funny!

Hops,
OK, now my head is swimming. I think CB's right; it's even worse now.
Your daughter's mother would be you right? But your daughter is still a him who is 6'4"?
If it's possible for a mudpuppy to drown I'm getting close.

confusion reigns supreme

        

My daughter's mother is me---

I was over 40 when my daughter was preggers--does that count? --that was easier on me

[Hopalong]

Oh crap! 

My daughter's GRANDMOTHER had her father (meaning her son, my daughter's father) when she (my daughter's grandmother, my ex's mother) was 46.

Tee HEE.

Details, details...

Suddenly it all makes sense, Hops.
Admittedly unsolicited but suggested rewrite of the first post: "My ex's mother was 46 when she had him".
Would have saved a lot of pixels.

I got pregnant at 39 and freaked out.  I was nervous throughout my entire pregnancy from the online crap I read one night and vowed to only read positive things.  My baby was perfect.  She was almost 3 weeks early as I had to be induced for high blood pressure.  I never developed Pre eclampsia but it was high enough for them to enduce me and I was able to deliver naturally. I turned 40 during my 7 month of pregnancy and my baby was a bouncy rolly-polly 8 pounds 2.5 ounces!!!!

wow - thanks for the stories and thank you Hops for the humor. I'm not taking the plunge I was just curious about others who had. And, for the record, I am 42 now. ugh. an ugly number.

Hey - 42 is just a number!

You're "old enough to know better" but still young enough to enjoy disregarding that!

Twins at 40!!  All went well. 

Note of caution:  Keep Nmom out of delivery room and hospital.  In fact, don't even tell her until it is all over (and the baby is in college.)

Hi Mud,

I think you've confirmed my worst fear - that when I leave white space above and below my posts, I'm wasting pixels?
Or are there pixels only where the print is?  Looking forward to your kind, sweet, and thoughtful reply...
