Hello to the mature mammas! I'm not pregnant, but I gave birth last year at the age of 41. Since I was pregnant with a donor embryo (from a 26 year old egg donor, no less), I didn't worry about amnio. But I faced a few hurdles because of my AMA. I had gestational diabetes, which ended up being a blessing in disguise. I was way healthier following the diagnosis. Like Kay, I LOVED being pregnant. And I have this great, mellow baby. I think he just picks up on my vibe of how happy I am to have him. I think we older moms just have such awesome perspective.

Anyhoo, I'll try to check in on this thread to see how you are doing. But feel free to pm me if you have any older mom/pregnancy questions.

Congrats!!!!

Kathryn.
