Hi, I had my 1st child at 28 and my 2nd at 38. My first pregnancy was uneventful and quite easy, except for having him. lol But my second one was the complete opposite I had alot of complications including spotting for the 1st 3 months, sever pelvic pain in the last trimester. and I abrupted with her a 32 weeks, and she was taken by c-section she weighed only 4 pounds and stayed in the hospital for 1 month, I got very ill myself with pnemonia and was hospitalized for 3 weeks. My daughter was very healthy at birth except for low birth weight and couldn't bottle feed. She is still a very healthy child today. Now every woman handles late in life pregnancy differently. I am gonna give you some information that I found informative. BridgetteImages available only to Customers.
