Getting pregnant after 40 is really no different from getting pregnant in your twenties or thirties. When it comes to having babies I believe too much emphasis is placed on a woman’s age. Whether you are planning to have a baby at the age of 20, 30 or 40; I believe your health and your education with regards to pregnancy related issues; rather than your age determines how quickly you get pregnant; whether you enjoy a healthy pregnancy and also how healthy your baby will be. My very first pregnancy was in my twenties. Before I got pregnant I was healthy and I did not have any health issues. Unfortunately once I got pregnant I got very sick. I suffered stomach cramps and very bad morning sickness. The pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at 23 weeks. I tried to get pregnant a few months after the miscarriage, but it just wasn’t happening. After a medical investigation; I was told I was suffering from secondary infertility, fibroids and symptoms of PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome). I was even more determined to have a baby. Unfortunately I suffered two more miscarriages. I realised that if I didn’t start taking charge of my health and my fertility I would remain childless. I read every book I could find; and every resource online about getting pregnant; preventing morning sickness; preventing miscarriages; enjoying healthy pregnancies; carrying babies full term and delivering healthy babies. By researching, educating myself and implementing what I learnt I am very pleased to inform you I have three very healthy and beautiful children. I was over 40 years old when I had my last two children, however; I carried these two babies full term and I did not suffer any complications or morning sickness.
