Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2005People Baby Purr Request
My brother and SIL told my mom yesterday that she's expecting. This wasn't planned, but it's not totally unexpected either, as they'd been talking about having another child. (their youngest daughter just turned 2, and the pediatrician is very happy with how she'd developed, both physically and mentally) Anyway, they're both scared to death as they're a little older than most baby-having couples (he'll be nearly 41 when the baby is born, she's 39), and they're afraid something will be wrong with the baby because of this. Please share a few of those purrs for a uneventful pregnancy and a healthy baby in the Fall!

Purrs on the way. But tell your SIL that that's not really that old to be having a baby, women have babies into their late 40s. If she's really scared I'm sure the doctor can do an amniocentesis (sp?) - but that would involve the decision to terminate the pregnancy if there *is* something found.

This > wasn't planned, but it's not totally unexpected either, as they'd been [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha As I'm sure your brother and sil are aware, there is an increasing risk of anomalies in the child as the mother gets older. However, my mother gave birth to one of my brothers when she was 37 and another when she was 39 and they are both absolutely fine, intelligence wise and health wise. A colleague at work has just returned from maternity leave, having had her first child at 39. He is fine too. If the health service there is anything like in the UK, she will be well monitored. Lots of purrs for a happy outcome. Tweed We're sending out loud, happy, chirpy purrs for the parents-to-be's good news, and plenty of purrs and purr-ayers for a healthy, uneventful pregnancy for mama and baby.

Purrs for your brother and SIL! Exciting! More and more people are having kids later in life. I couldn't do it, but I know many who do.

Purrs and prayers of course. There is so much working in their favor. They have had healthy children before. They were able to get pregnant without undue assistance. Medicine has come a very long way in caring for "older" parents. She isn't even old enough for this to be considered a change of life baby, and the overwhelming majority of those are just fine too. So when are they due? Jo Purrs on the way for a safe pregnancy and a healthy baby. Sam, closely supervised by Mistletoe > My brother and SIL told my mom yesterday that she's expecting.

I have some close friends who were that age when their second child, Emma, was born. She's nearly 4 now, and perfectly healthy. I'm sure everything will be fine and you'll soon be an aunt again. Maybe one day you'll be a great aunt, I believe there is one on this group already, though she doesn't brag about it. -- Adrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. > My brother and SIL told my mom yesterday that she's expecting.

The biggest concern for "advanced age" parents, next to infertility, is trisomy 21 and that is really only a concern if you are over 40. I am 41, infertile and have a TON of friends who have delivered over 35 - many over 40. All of those who are fertile have had strong, healthy babies. hugs, -L. >My brother and SIL told my mom yesterday that she's expecting.

My SIL lost the baby today. She'd started swelling, and was scheduled for a routine appointment, and when they checked there was no heartbeat. More tests showed the baby was dead. But she hasn't miscarried yet. And the *&^%$#@! doctor won't schedule her for other treatment (D&C and/or induced labor) until *MONDAY*. Can you imagine carrying a dead baby around inside you all weekend? I'm sure he thinks she'll miscarry before then, but still... So please send some purrs to my brother and SIL this weekend. They can certainly use them about now. Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha ============ http://www.jhedge.com >> My brother and SIL told my mom yesterday that she's expecting.

SignatureMogget I just had chance to scroll down the old posts tonight and this is one I missed which I would have answered, on the day the Yowlet was born my daughte found out that she was carrying a dead baby too she was three months, as I said that was a year ago,on th 5th of this month, she is now 4 weeks away from giving birth. what I was going to say here was that she had to wait too to see if she miscarried herself, and a few days later she did. How did your sister go? I would dearly like to know. I hope she is ok now Hugs Jean.P. > >My SIL lost the baby today.

How did your sister go? I would dearly like to know. >I hope she is ok now Hugs Jean.P. Jean, everything was dealt with at the doctor's on Monday last week as my sister-in-law did not miscarry over the weekend (as I suspect the doctor hoped she would). Fortunately, the physical part of everything went easily and smoothly and was over quickly. I don't know what caused the baby to pass on, and if the doctor was able to determine it and told them, they haven't told the rest of the family. It (we don't know male/female) was about 13 weeks along. Personally, if something like this was going to happen I'm happy it happened now and not farther along or after birth. My SIL went back to work 2 days later, and now (nearly 2 weeks later) is pretty much over things, although she still has those moments. My brother, OTOH, took things very hard and is just now starting to bounce back a bit. No idea if they're going to try again. Thanks to all who posted in response to my bad news. Your thoughts and purrs were greatly appreciated. Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha ============ http://www.jhedge.com
