PrintPregnancy Past 40 (or... WTF am I thinking?!?)
News Type: Event — Sat Jun 28, 2008 3:26 AM EDT
I wish I could credit the artist. Haven't seen this online outside of my using it since 1999. "Creative Commons" it is, unless told otherwise.

Right now, as Week 18 draws to a close, what I'm thinking is "Yo, Peanut- My uterus is not a moon bounce!" I had all but forgotten just how active a healthy pregnancy can get. It won't be long until tiny knees and elbows from within visibly transform my growing belly's exterior into a weird type of gestational performance art. Am I complaining? Heck no! It's a miracle I'm pregnant at all.
"Baby X" isn't necessarily a surprise because of my age. Plenty of women are having babies during this life stage considered by many to be "middle age." Even though pregnancies past age 40 are automatically labeled "high risk" the outcomes are increasingly successful.
So, why do I feel that this pregnancy is a miracle? Was conception via immaculate conception? **grinning** Shyeaaaah, riiiiight - about as much as I endorse consumption of instant coffee. (Ow! Kiddo, you know I wouldn't subject either of us to *that* freeze-dried abomination.)
What makes Baby X a miracle is that he or she has come into being after the bushels of psychotropic meds I'd had to take up until nearly three years ago. Since 1980 it was a veritable pharmaceutical laundry list of both commonly prescribed and experimental formulations to manage rapid-cycling bipolar and PTSD.
One specific medication, namely Risperdal, wreaked physical torment over the two-year course I'd used it. During those two years, and for many months after discontinuing its use, I had zero menstrual cycles. In desperation I even saw specialists who determined that I was not menopausal, nor were there any other factors which would have caused this unnatural condition. To say that my ravaged reproductive capabilities had other serious physical and emotional effects would be a grievous understatement. Risperdal nearly cost me my marriage. Let's leave it at that for now.
There had been a few miscarriages since late 2005, each one worse than the last. It's taken me a long time to accept that continuing to mourn possible lives that were not meant to be was its own form of self-sabotage. In hindsight, I am grateful that all occurred during the first trimester. Still, each one was its own bittersweet sorrow...
But this baby- WOW!!! Health-wise we're both doing great. Our obstetrician nearly declined taking me on as a patient two months ago, citing my age (I'll be 43 in September), psychiatric history, being a recovering drug addict (13 years clean as of June 11th!), sciatica and herniated discs, miscarriages, two previous c-sections - both emergencies, a special needs child (not from drugs!), gluten allergy/nutritional concerns, and time/distance to his practice. Heaven knows I told him straight up that I would bear no ill will if he chose not to accept me. My overall track record doesn't look so great in an impersonal medical file.
I read Doc as not being a gambling man by nature, and I gave him every out possible. Even having researched his fantastic legacy of delivering exceptionally high-risk pregnancies I've come to the conclusion that one or more of the following may apply:
- he had a momentary lapse of judgment (doubtful!)
- he is as confident and determined as I am about this pregnancy
- he's crazier than me
For now, all is good. And we both aim to keep it that way.

Yay!! I am glad you're feeling confident and determined! And your doctor too, it's so important to find the right people to support, guide and assist you.
I'll be thinking about you both and I really hope it goes spectacularly well! I admire your tenacity, but given what I already know of you from here on Newsvine, I'm not surprised!
Keep us in the loop please! :o)

Ouch, Fugi. I'm just somewhat glad I never had a sponsor at all!!
The things you posted in that were dead on accurate. I didn't want to jump in and amen you there, because from a personal perspective I do what works for me and I'm not in any competition to be the Most Successful Former Heroin Addict Turned T-Totaller. I'm like the guy who would preach a certain sermon but live a different way. Mostly I'm pleased that I don't have to rob anybody to avoid puking bile today and that's kind of the success I sought in my recovery.
The problem with me is I ran the gauntlet (as did you) of drugs and found that only Smack derailed me. That being said, on finally relinquishing habit, I did vow no pills or hard drugs. Poking Smot, well....
Though I do know with the human psyche you cannot substitute or eventually your mind will let you know what you did and ask you which is better, The Substitute or The Real Thing?
So you are right in the big picture...
I am right for me because I'm not trying to get a job as a Saint and I'm still alive and haven't used in 5 years.

Darro,
Well I could understand if you had to hold on to one of those nasties and keep the bologna habit, however glad you dumped the Smack, I would like to keep you around as a friend and I have lost to many of them to that already and that is not a pleasant thing to see happen and it just happens far too often. So glad to hear that. One avenue that I never explored myself, I am confused enough as is

My my look at the time that's elapsed since last communique with planet Earth. I really do work.
I bring honesty like a young Nolan Ryan fastball. High and hard and sometimes brutal. But don't forget about my INTEGRITY. (There was a joke in prison because the first time I stood up for myself at one yard it was about somebody questioning that. I suppose the way I chose to address said issue may have been a little Al Pacinoish, but it got the point across.) You may not like me world,, but I told the truth.
This quote from Poe is my motivating element in life. He says no one can write a truthful autobiography, and so far I have.
"But to write it- there is the rub. No man dare write it. No man ever will dare write it. No man could write it, even if he dared. The paper would shrivel and blaze at every touch of the fiery pen." POE
I'm going to beat him up when we get to purgatory or hades or wherever folks like we wind up...

Well I remember the first time a mother let me feel the kicking. My sister-in-law in her third trimester grabbing both my hands and plopping them on her baby bump and it felt like some hyperactive gas in there, only much more vigorous, and all the while she's laughing like a horse and I'm like ::Does it hurt?::, and she proceeds to laugh even more like a horse.
Then, there's my sweet cousin at around your age telling me she was pregnant (2 kids in HS), recounting how she had told her husband who, after a pregnant pause (heh) said ::oops?::.
Congrats mama:)!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful and personal experience with us.
The momo forum, we lived on that site for almost the duration of the pregnancy. My wife went in for her 13 week checkup when we found out it was twins. Talk about shock! I was just getting used to the idea of having one kid!! We found out 2 weeks later that they were momos and our hearts fell through the floor. The OB sat us down and told us to basically get ready for the worse. He laid it all on us, the 60-80% mortality rate, how selective termination isn't an option, all of it. We walked out of there in shambles. Then to top it all off, he wouldn't even touch my wife for the follow up appointments while we waited a month for a specialist to become available. I could read the fear of malpractice in his eyes as he was almost certain we weren't going to make it.
My girls turn 4 this October and are the light in my life. It's been a bumpy ride, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I'm sure you are very excited and you have every right to be. Several of my coworkers told me I had obviously lost my mind having a baby at my age. It's wonderful!

A post-40 baby is not so out of the mainstream these days. You would have known long ago if there were any age-related complications and even that mostly comes down to bad luck. At this point you are no different than a 24 year-old, though when the critter is at 18 months you will probably feel your age.
I'd have no problem at all having a baby at 42. Of course, I am a man so it's pretty easy for me: Have lots of sex, eat ice cream and cake for 9 months, then smoke a cigar.
Congrats and good luck.

That Risperdal is bad bad sh*t. They put my dad on it and he was seeing people that had died years before and he thought that my cousin lived next door, was 5 years old and having a birthday party. He was really 20 and lives 12 miles away. He went f*cking crazy.

Effexor which is now clearly contraindicated for use in cases involving PTSD.
Hah......yeah....I just had that fight with a good friends Doc. at the local VA hospital that has him on Effexor XR 300 mg for PTSD and I am trying to get thru to the Doc, that is not what it is should be used for and my poor buddy is going thru hell on the stuff. VA Doctors are not the easiest to communicate with either, its more a one way broadcast mode of operation....ugh....

fugitive,
I found your article by coincidence and because it's unusual.
Congratulations and keep us posted of your progress.
Feel pretty regardless of the size.

Ah fugie... I am late to the party! I just found this, congrats!
At some point I hope you write more about the effects of psychotropics. If you already have, please point me to them. I know of someone who is on Risperdal and I am concerned about her. Due to privacy concerns and HIPPA regulations I can say no more than that in a public forum.

oh I can point you to tons and tons of people and data on Risperdal and most of them are still locked up in that location I provided the "Pretty Pictures" from in Comment #13.5 above and they have some very serious issues going on at the moment including some liver transplants this weekend that worked ok, several pending lawsuits and a ton of warnings.....I have also attended some very very tragic funerals because of that medication and that is not something that I think I could go thru ever again considering the details involved with the entire issue.
Sorry...did not mean to mess up the party, just that subject combined with fugie being pregnant is a very very sensitive subject for me and a painful one.

I had my 1st at 32, the 2nd at 37. Pregnancy at 37 wasn't difficult - being a 37-year old mom to an infant was. Bouncing back from delivery (a VBAC - yea!) was hard, as were those early months of interrupted sleep, harder than when I was younger.
I can't recommend enough that you get help for those first few months, especially if you plan to nurse. Find a way to spend at least 3 months being waited on hand and foot, so that your body can recover. Sleep when the kid sleeps.
Wishing you success.

And.....also when the baby is about 6 months leave the darling at home with the father for 2 hours and go to the Community College and take Watercolor/languages/craft. In my 5 kids I never had the Blues because my mind was busy creating.

Completely unrelated... Who wants to guess what's nestled in my shirt right now to keep warm? Hints:
- it's mostly brown
- it's approximately 4" from nose to tail
- for decades Mel Blanc was the voice talent for a wise-cracking grey one
I hope this li'l darling makes it through the night.

Aw... baby bunnies are so cute! I hope he makes it!
I don't know anything about bunnies. If it were lambs or goats I could call my sister. But keeping him warm is a good idea. I think over your heart would be best. It would be a comfort I would think, particularly if it is a newborn, to hear a heart beat.
Good luck!

"homely" ? oh this mug
I lets say had a very interesting "visitor" from a certain rather very very famous farm that was on of the worlds experts on both young rabbits and new advanced forms of medication and he helped deliver 11 small bunnies by hand to a rabbit that had no concept what she was doing other then to bury her wet nose in my stomach and look up at me and ask "Tedd, can you please help me out ?" Like I am supposed to know what end is up at the old age of 14 ? hah....I knew how to build rabbit cages really well, how to visit my mom in not a really nice ugh place...
Hope you find a home for those little ones. Did you ever think about getting any sleep ?
As far as Chills ? Do you have any flannel sheets around ? or flannel shirts ? You need to get that water off the skin, that will drop the body temperature fast, those oil skin type clothes or rags they sell at any auto parts store for polishing cars are great for wicking off moisture, but keeping a body warm. But you need to keep the pores of the skin open so the body temperature does not cycle hi and low, that would put them at risk of shock...
Get them dry and in a diaper if you have one even, it sounds weird, but it works.

OK I just enrolled for a 24hr short course at the International Short Break Association (ISBA) So I will be a fully 100.1% geniune, um WTF is it
Respite care is the provision of short-term, temporary relief to those who are caring for family members who might otherwise require permanent placement in a facility outside the home.
worker...and I can fix those broken cognitive impairments, give Therapeutic adult day care and...give you Lotsa Helping Hands with them young-ins.
So.....Lets see you wiggle your cute little butt out this one, sweetie ...

In this itty bitty thread alone I've been accused of womanizing, gun possession, Bologna consumption, bologna theft and now tortilla capers as well. If I wasn't so thick skinned I'd probably hurt right now.
Back to Fugi and her wonderful ways, what is this little miracle business happening? (The crowd goes silent, automatically assuming the word Miracle is tied to a Religious Deity. Skeptically they listen for confirmation of suspicion.)
Glad everything is good there. If it's a boy I bet I can guess his name.
