no real answers-but to say WORRY NOT GOOD. do and SEE things that make you happy or calm. My sister had her (3rd-after 20 years) healthy baby at age 42.. young husband may have been factor. She active with fair/good health habits. I'm 40+ and JUST NOW working towards first with 'fair' health. I wish..hope..and 'pray' for you not to WORRY.

They are all just odds... the only thing you can really do is wait it out. If you hit 12 weeks risks dramatically decline. Then the doc's will hit you up with the horror stories of risks of downs and other advanced maternal age - this is a very scary time - just try to stay above the fray with knowing what tests you'll do, what you wont, and stick with it. I've been there, suffered a miscarriage then right after suffered through a problem pregnancy with abnormal test results, placenta previa, and subchorionic hemorraghe. I prayed a lot and worried more, counted every day of every week, declined all invasive and high risk tests but in the end our baby girl is here, safe, sound, and healthy. It was stressful and I wish I could have handled it better. \ wish you the best.

MRCLbaby42+ and kris A !!!! Boy kris, so sorry you had to go through so much but so happy you have your healthy baby girl! You are both right - worry can only makes it harder, and I am just going to look at the bright side, that I'm healthy, no physical or psychological problems, I'm at week 5 (3 since conception) by that means only 7 more weeks to wait for dreade 12 week wait for safety will be over! After that I will feel sooooooooooo relieved, even if later they tell me the baby has downs or something I can still handle that over a miscarriage, if you get my drift !!!!!!! Thanks for your support, and I am still going to research to see what percentage of us over 40 have miscarriages, just to see optimistically what percentage I will NOT be in! :-D
