  • 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. ❤ 🙏 💪

    Don't worry too much. My youngest was born 7 weeks early, and she was in the 1% during my pregnancy and up till she was about 4. She even lost weight and head size decreased in utero. The docs thought she was going to be a still-birth. She still turned out to be a healthy happy baby, who's about to turn 13 this year. Keep your faith, keep praying and hoping for the best. Praying for you!

      I think my mom was like your youngest. She was very premature, and I'm sure weighed very little, she was so small that the doctor could hold her in the palm of his hand. 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.

    And doctors have a tendency to also inform Mama's of the other end of the spectrum; "baby is measuring too big, let's schedule you for a C-section.." then comes baby and they're average weight/significantly smaller than supposedly measured.

      with my first I had a long, drawn out period of pushing. 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.

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!

Praying the lord’s blessings and peace over you and your miracle 🙏

      Kevin, you're obviously a troll. And it's super creepy that you're here, combing the comment thread on a CZcams video of a woman giving a descriptive update on her high risk pregnancy. Most men I know don't spend any free time they have doing that. Get a life.

    This is your first lesson to trust you Mama instincts. You are doing all the things,stay in your good flow. Ultra sounds can be very inaccurate. I had my daughter at 43, I was also considered a geriatric pregnancy and then the doctor said the baby was getting too big. She was born 6lbs 7 oz a week after her due date, super healthy. They expected her to be 8 lbs… not even close! We just celebrated her second bday! You’re doing great mama keep up the good work! 💗

  • @lmena5696

    I was 43 when I finally had my first successful pregnancy, with so many risk factors including tumors made larger by earlier miscarriages. My daughter is everything you would want in a child. The key to why you feel beautiful now: your husband is always reinforcing your beauty, in or out of pregnancy. When the baby is born, then your child joins into the reinforcement of feeling beautiful. That's what choosing a great partner means.

    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. 😊

    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!

    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.

Prenatal care is so much more advanced than before. I think it’s normal to be concerned because it’s your first baby. It’s all new and exciting. Our bodies change so much. You will be fine. Your have great care, a wonderful husband, and supportive family. I wish you all the best and can’t wait to see your precious baby girl!! Much love to you❤️❤️❤️

  • @orielwiggins2225

    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

    When I was preggers w/ My 2nd baby(girl) docs told me that there was a chance of Down syndrome 😦🙁 After my amnio & an ultrasound. They kept an eye on everything until I delivered & never took back that possibility. 40 wks later, perfectly healthy, actually very plump 9lbs & no issues at all. Sometimes those tests scare us for no reason. Best wishes for a healthy, happy bundle of precious🩷🎀🍼

Plus I had only son was 22 months old at her birth. Don't stress over being 'high risk,' it is a term for: be extra cautious, take care, eat good stuff, walk, 🙏.
