Good morning ladies - I really hope you don't mind me barging into your group like this.
LOL @ Joo-ste: (yes us older mommies ...what will they be calling us at the docs... oh yes ...geriatric moms! to answer your questions - this little miracle was planned (hubby and I were both married before and we both have two kids each out of those unions - so we thought it would be cool to add one more to the blended mix
I had the loop removed last year, fell pregnant straight away but that was a CP and then later I fell pregnant again which ended in the MMC. I then told hubby that we can give it till my Birthday month (and when I turn 41) if nothing happens by then - I was going to 'close down the factory". and besides we had 4 beautiful kids already.
But God had other plans for us! We are both happy about the turn of events... it's just now - it's like we are starting all over again!
So all in all I'd say it took about a year.
I went for my first check up on the 13/04 and we saw a strong heartbeat and very active baby.
I've attached a scan and bump pic
