She is here! Just days before I turned 43 I gave birth to a healthy baby girl after an unplanned and totally spontaneous pregnancy. The pregnancy was completely smooth and my Maternal Fetal Specialist had me on close watch, gave me a lot of TLC, and kept me on Lovenox and Baby Aspirin the whole pregnancy (well, up until right before delivery). The delivery itself was a dream and she was born after just 2 pushes. Our baby girl is doing great and is sooooo easy and happy. Our pediatrician called her "perfect" and we have to agree. ;-)
We don't know how or why we were finally able to carry a healthy child to term. We had 8 pregnancy losses and then did IVF through embryo donation to get our son. I hope my journey will give hope to people who have suffered many losses or told it was hopeless. We had quite a few doctors say we couldn't do it and I certainly didn't think it would happen at age 42. You just never know what God may have in store.
