New here and have questions???
Hello everyone! I am 43 and just found out that I am pregnant with our second child!!! It's very early - just one week past when I should have had my period. We conceived naturally and I have no prior history of MC, but obviously with my age it is a risk. I did have complications towards the end of my first pregnancy. I called my regular OB-GYN yesterday after the third positive at home test (couldn't believe the first two LOL!) They said I didn't need to come in for another couple of weeks since "there is not much to tell before then."
I am just wondering if I should look for another practice that specializes in high risk pregnancies and older women? I have read here that some women have their hormone levels tested, take hormone supplements, etc. Should I be more proactive here, or let nature take its course?
Thank you! I still don't believe it and almost feel like I am jinxing things by even talking about it. I just told my DH this morning and he is sooo excited! Wish me luck!!
