Hi. I'm not new here...but haven't been around in a while (like years!) because...well, I thought I was finished with babies and breastfeeding!
But my DH and I were uncertain if we wanted a 3rd baby or not...and decided to try for 1 or 2 months and if it was meant to be, it would happen (given the stat for 40 yr olds is only 20% chance, we were not optimistic...although my prior pregnancies all happened at the drop of a hat...)
At any rate, I have missed my period and took 3 pregnancy tests. Each one had a faint, faint, faint, faint positive line w/in the appropriate "read before" deadline. So faint that I can almost convince myself it's not there...
DH does not think I'm pregnant. I'm not sure...waiting until next weekend to take another test. I never in my previous pregnancies had any real symptoms of pregnancy until much later....but my digestion has been out of whack the last 3 weeks...and I've felt breathless all day today (but that's likely my nerves). I think my breasts feel achy...until I poke at them and then they feel fine!
I guess I'm nervous because I never thought it would actually happen...given the odds....and now the risks of genetic problems seem so much more real when you may actually be pregnant rather than an abstract maybe.
Well...just rambling to calm my nerves....
