  • High-Risk Pregnancy? Let’s talk about it… My “geriatric” pregnancy is officially “high risk”. They said my baby is too small, I said she’s just snatched. 😜
    A few of my friends have been through the high-risk monitoring and have shared their experiences with me, but have any of you? I’m staying positive and just taking it day by day.
    Thank you so much for your support! 😍

    I was 40 when I had my first and only child. I was also considered high risk and had to be monitored from my 4th month until I gave birth. My son was born full term and weighed 5.9 lbs at birth. He was in the below 0 percentile until he was 4yrs old. He is now 9 and is in the 96th percentile. Don't worry...God is watching over you!

      Oh, bless you. You have entered the mom world. I love your attitude! I had my first baby at 38 and then a second baby girl at 40. If my gynecologist had called my pregnancy geriatric I would have been very insulted. They need to change that terminology now. Pregnancy is hard enough and that language is somewhat recent. Older women have been having babies for thousands of years! We were just called at risk in the 90s.

    The best piece of advice my mom gave me when I gained weight with my PCOS and had a very hard time like you are having , she said " don't look at the sizes, just put the clothes on and if you feel good in them that's what matters, not the size on the tag" ❤ something about looking at our age written down, our weight on a scale or size on a tag has a way of distorting how we feel on the inside 🦋

    Even when we had our second kid at 34, the medical professionals were all like, "Oh, you should do amniocentesis to see if the baby has Down's" and that kinda thing. There is a small chance of spontaneous pregnancy ending with amniocentesis. We were like, "We are not risking this kid on someone else's anxiety or percentages or whatever!" Baby was totally fine and healthy and is now our 22 year old daughter. Just stay positive and blessed, and whatever God has in store will happen. ❤ 🙏 💪

I remember my doctor commenting "I don't think it's a big baby"... then she is finally out with the help of a vacuum extractor and pressure applied to the top of my uterus by my husband and a nurse. As soon as she was born he said "well, so much for it not being a big baby". She weighed 8 lbs 14 oz.

My friend discovered at 14 weeks that her baby wouldn’t survive due to a chromosome abnormality and we were all prepared for the inevitable outcome when she delivered. So instead of ignoring her doctors advice for testing she didn’t look at the advice as an insult.

My sister, on other hand, was a long difficult birth being that she was a very large baby and they needed to use forceps to help with the delivery to get her head out. It was misshapen for a while, later we used to laugh about it.

    I literally went through the exact same thing in my pregnancy. I was 31 when I got pregnant (32 when I gave birth). They told me the same thing “she’s small, she isn’t growing like she should. You’re high risk” they also said my baby’s head was small. I had to do the same appointments but I did mine once a week until I gave birth(literally gave birth the next day). All I could think was God knew exactly how this kid had to come out and He knew how I was freaking out over having to get her out that way. So I say my daughter understood the assignment. Start off small THEN get bigger on the outside lol!

    As another “geriatric” mama (rude!), remember that the category is automatic. The ‘high risk’ would have been slapped on y’all regardless; it has been for every ‘older’ mom I know, including me x2.
    You are EXACTLY right, enjoy the heartbeat and extra pics!
    Docs have a tendency to err on the side of caution, and also think by categorizing us they’ve covered their butts. Try to listen to your own gut, we usually know what’s up intuitively. Nurses seem to have better understanding and are your advocate throughout. Find one you click with in OB/GYN clinic.
    Are you shopping for maternity clothes?? Way more comfortable! Made to accommodate prego belly, boobs, and nursing after.
    💖I’ll tell you the best advice I ever received while prego;
    Swim!!! Get in a pool and walk, do lunges, move. You will have an easier birth and recovery.
    When you’re tired? Rest!!! The baby is getting what she needs from you right now. That’s why you are tired. Listen to your body.
    You are so beautiful! Know that you aren’t alone, and that everything will be alright mama.

    When I had my son, he was measuring tiny. They assumed their calculations were wrong and made me go 2 weeks overdue. He was born "green" and had meconium in the amniotic fluid. He also had a shorter than normal umbilical cord. Otherwise he was perfectly healthy. He was a scrawny 5 lbs 13 Oz. He looked like a little alien. All arms and legs. He stayed little for years. He's now 28 and 5' 11". My daughter was measuring the same as my son and thankfully they just said, "oh, she must just have little babies," and didn't make me go over due. She was also born 5 lbs 13 oz. She didnt stay small for long and filled out and was a chunky baby and grew out of baby sized clothes quickly. She is now 22 and 5' 6" (I'm 5' 4"). I hope this might ease your mind a bit. Wishing you much happiness and a healthy baby!

    They told me the same thing when I was 37 weeks pregnant with my daughter. She was 5lbs 1oz when she was born a couple days later. She is now a very healthy (still petite) 15 year old. No health issues at all. Just small. Which, being 4'11" myself, I can say isn't really a bad thing. 😊

She was and is, and, is now 29 years old, a college graduate, working in her field! Very smart, very healthy, no worries. So, I think you have the right attitude.

Your precious baby is growing at her pace and God is holding both of you in his hands! I do know what it is to be 40 (something) and have nothing fit … and all the noise that tries to invade your headspace that comes with that. But YOU are perfect as you are (um, yeah you know this), and God has mighty things for you and your sweet family! Be kind to yourself, rest as you need to, move as you can, and just be!!! I will keep praying for you and your growing family!

    I had them tell me the same thing in really concerned tones and then pretty quickly tell me she needed to be removed, for no real reason. Turns out, she just needed to stay where she was longer and come out naturally when she was ready. The inducement didn't help her out myself and she was healthy and is super smart and fully perfect. Even tho she was a week and a half early and only 5.13. You got this, your baby got this. God got this. We're all praying for you. Can't wait to hear the next updates

Last 1 1/2 trimesters, 2x week check ins. Even when they take you to L&D to check you for 5 hours, it’s an abundance of caution, and even those blessings of being able to get the medical care required was a way for me to be grateful. Praying the lord’s blessings and peace over you and your miracle 🙏

    prayers coming your way! I, too, am "geriatric" and high-risk. I've been dealing w/ gestational diabetes since week 11. I also have to go in twice a week (starting May 1st).
    I'm the opposite - little boy is running a little larger - so I may have to have him earlier. Praying I don't though because my daughter was 6.5 weeks early and spent 32 days in NICU. Scariest moments of my life.
