I've never felt achey all over, but I did "swell" very early this time. Not 7 weeks, but definately in the first few months. I think it's just the extra blood volume. I don't know why it seems so much earlier. I'm like 25 weeks or maybe 26 and it hasn't gotten any worse.

Default I am relieved...

...to find other people in a similar situation. I am 40, pregnant with number 4 due in November. My complaint seems ridiculous in the face of people experiencing terrible morning sickness, but I am worried because i am symptomless (apart from a positive pregnancy test). I am hoping that it is still early, but with my other two pregnancies I felt pregnant!. I still have another 5 weeks to wait for my next appointment at which time they will do an ultrasound. Is there any one else that felt the same?

Being very tired is my indication of pgcy, but other than that I really have no symptoms. It can be totally normal. Congratulations!

I just turned 46 and my baby James is now 5 months old. You should see the reaction when I go out with my girls Renee 24 and Emma 22 as people address them as the mother until I set them straight. It seems no matter where I go I am always the oldest mother around and people are quite shocked that

1/ I fell pregnant naturally
2/ People ask whether I have just remarried and I explain that bubs was a silver anniversary present from my husband

I'm 41 and just found out I'm 12 weeks pregnant. I thought I was having thyroid problems because I have been so tired lately. I have two teenagers and had never dreamed of having another but now we are so excited. However, I am so worried about the implications of not knowing until my third month. I would like to hear from anyone who did not find out right away and how their pregnancies are going.
