I will deliver at age 35. Just had a healthy baby at age 33. You will be just fine. I had my 1st at 16 so quite an age difference.
My last two I was 39 and 42. Perfectly healthy.
I was 38 my husband was 48 and she is perfectly health and you should start taking prenatal right away
You can take an over the counter prenatal vitamin, make sure it has folic acid
35 is not old!!! I had my 4th child at 35 and it was the best gift ever

Flintstone (or any other vitamin) with iron will be fine. I couldnāt take prescription prenatal and was told to take Flintstones with Iron.
I just had our 3rd at 41. 
As far as prenatals, you can get other vitamins, but make sure youāre taking folic acid. You can get that at any drugstore pretty much. Good luck, im sure youāll do great.
The only true risk is when you go to your appointment all hormonal and someone says āat your advanced maternal ageāā¦jk (kinda), I had my perfect, beautiful baby boy when I was 35. No health issues at all. His father was 43. 
I was 37. Heās perfect 
I was 27 when I had my first and was 35 when I had my last. Both of them Healthy. Now both grown men.
They also tried to scare me with all the āwhat if, and the possibility of ā. No. I listened to God and my heart.
And as far as prenatal- start them. You may be given a prescription for them when you go to see your doctor but for now - I suggest taking them.
I had a baby before 40 i had her during covid and i was 39. Breathe and take the joy of being pregnant. You will only make yourself go crazy if you donāt enjoy
I was 35, he was my first child also. He was healthy, not too big not too small. No health problems whatsoever. Only issue I had were labor painsā¦lol!!
Youāre only 35 hun shouldnāt be high risk unless u hve other health issuesā¦praying for a healthy pregnancy
Had both my boys in my 40s. Both healthy critters.
Ik was 42 toen ik ontdekte dat ik zwanger was van mijn dochter en ondanks mijn leeftijd een wolk van een prachtige dochter die nu bena 11 is geen stress hoor komt allemaal we goed
Had my first at 36 second at 38 you will be fine, you can wait til your appointment no worries everything will be fine, my cousin just had her second daughter last week and next month she will be 40 everything was perfect 
I am 35. She is perfect.
Why is that age old??? I was 35,heās now 3 and Iād love to have another now.its definatly not old,kinda upset me that u think it is.dont worry ! X

I was 34 when I had my second daughter. Her father was 41. Sheās now a healthy 13 year old teenager. I never took the prenatals because they caused so much constipation for me. I think youāll do just fine! Try not to overthink itā¦just hydrate, choose healthy foods and your appt is right around the corner 
I was 35 when I had my fourth child. I was high risk because of my age. So I had to go to extra appointments and get extra testing done. She was a scheduled c section. I had the c section a few days early because of my blood pressure spiking. But she was born perfectly healthy. A little over 9 pounds. Sheās 14 now and hasnāt had any health issues. I hope my story helps ease your mind a little bit. And if you donāt want to take prenatal vitamins then at least eat or drink things with folic acid. Itās good for babyās
my last pregnancy was 2005
Iām 37 and had my 4th baby last year, and Iām currently pregnant with my 5th due next year, so far no problems or complications xx
Hey 35 is a perfect age !!! You may need more appointments just to ensure everythings okay. But do not panicā¦ i am sure you will be fine, especially if age is you only concern. Look after yourself, that means mind and emotions too. Lots of tlc, self care and self love. Your body is more than capable. Now coach your brain to believe it too. Youve got this. Congratulations huni xxx

My 4th i was 37 hes 3 and perfectly healthy x
You are ok to take prenatal vitamins now if you want and the appointment being that far out is fine if you donāt think anything is wrong. If you feel worried about it then you can go to a plan parenting clinic and asked to be seen and just fill them in.
My mum was around her 40s when she had 3 of my baby sisters, all healthy

I was 35 when I fell pregnant with my youngest, his dad was 47, so I understand concerns, I was the same. But I actually had a brilliant pregnancy and it was the easiest labour of all 4 of my kids. My son is 20 mths old now and heās healthy and happy. I think you will be absolutely fine
Prenatal vitimans should be taken straight away, if trying for pregnancy they should be taken before too and after when breast feeding, they aid in the growth of brain and spine and give you other needed doses of vitamins to help baby grow healthy. Iād go down the chemist and grab some now as you donāt get prescribed prenatal vitamins you just buy them from your local chemist over the counter. Itās best to start with one and see how you go with it, some make some wemon a little sick but you do get used to them i found after a month or so after taking! Congratulations and your definitely not too old!!

Start prenatals now they sell them over the counter. I was almost 32 when my 4th was born. I ended up having gestational diabetes but my baby girl came out healthy about 5 days before my induction date. 32 is still young I get patients 42 and pregnant, you will be fine
I had my little boy at 40 he was completely healthy and is 13 months old now.
Iām 34 and had gestational diabetes but had a normal birth and now have a healthy baby girl whoās 5 weeks old and I took folic acid/pregnacare before having my first appointment
Idk about age but I do know you can buy prenatal vitamins over the counter at the pharmacy.
Congratulations

I never took prenatal vitamins bc they made me super sick so I took vitamin gummies twice a day for all 3 of my pregnancies so you could take those until your app
Folic acid & vitamin d I would say are the main ones. Donāt stress itās also not good for the baby. Just take extra good care of yourself. Thatās the best you can do for yourself and your baby

I was 42 when I had my daughter, my pregnancy with her was actually easier than it was with my sons,and i had him at 29!! All will be fine!!!
I had my 1st child at 38 and 2nd at 40. Both healthy. Everyone is different. No nausea or anything.
I had my youngest son at 34ā¦11 years after my 3rd child (surprise) and he was born healthy & normal!!
Definitely take folic acid now alongside a healthy diet - donāt wait as now is a major time of development for baby so call into a pharmacy asap. Iām 37 and a few of my friends the same age have recently had perfectly normal pregnancies and my mother had a baby at 40 and all fine too. Try and relax - Congratulations! X
Ehhh I was 36 with my last baby No problems a happy overly healthy 10# babygirl. Dont stress. Everything will be fine, start prenatal vitamins or wait if u are more comfortable.
I was 33 with my first and 39 with my secondā¦ Both are healthy
Had my last child at 43. Healthy 9 1/2 lbs girl. No problems.
My dad was 43 and his partner was 42 when they had a healthy baby boy. Iām not sure about the prenatal vitamins if she had them or not. But the baby boy is now three and thriving. If you are worried about anything phone a doc, nurses or 111 (in the uk). Some people go through there most of their pregnancy without knowing they are, that go on to have very health babyās.
I was 38 when I had my one and only daughter (turned 39 3 mos later) and had a smooth, easy pregnancy. 5 1/2 hour labor and easy delivery. Both of us healthy and no problems! I would just go ahead and get over the counter prenatal vitamins or call and see if your Dr. will go ahead and prescribe them. Alsoā¦.my daughter is now 22 and I have a 3 month old grandson!!
take over the counter prenatal vitaminsā¦ they are the same makesure you are taking folic acid also over the counter 400 micrograms dailyā¦

Had mine at 35 found the pregnancy a million times earlier then when I was 24. My baby is healthy and if I knew what I knew now I would of waited with my first I think 35 is a fab age for a baby
I had my last one at 35

The last 2 took everything out of me. Exhaustion isnāt even strong enough a word.
You can definitely have a healthy baby at your age, congratulations! Just be sure to Take a good prenatal vitamin- you donāt need prescribed one. Look for one with folic acid (at least 400mg) as well as iron. Itās also helpful if the vitamin contains omega 3 fatty acids / DHA.
My prenatal lacked iron and I became super anemic during my pregnancy and have to take iron pills twice daily (they are NOT fun).
Girl u and baby will be fine. I am 37 with a 2 yr old. Dad is 42. Take your prenatals with DHA. Take it easy. Take naps when your tired. Listen to your body. Congrats. All babies are a blessing.

I had my first baby at 37 and my husband was 40. Yes I had to go through a few more test cause of my age but all was good.
Perfect age. I had my last 4 all c sections at 32, 39, 42, 44ā¦went through a lot of testing with the last 2 but all four were blessings and i really appreciated them and was more mature than with the 2 i had in my 20sā¦ My late husband and I thought about another one around the time i was 52 but we decided against it.
Hi I am 41 abs everything in my pregnancy is going fine. My due date is Nov 16. Prenatal are a must as soon as u find out ur pregnant. I take the advanced prenatal fish oil and iron and folic acid. It will be ok you got this.
Iām 34 and 18 weeks and baby is healthy as far as i know no downs or edwards syndrome nothing wrong with having a baby in our 30s

U are right at the age where they say u are the older mother and u will probably be seen a lot more and on the high risk category. U will have more ultrasounds and probably a amniocentesis. It is best to start them now u can get them at any pharmacy or store just look for the higher amount of folic acid.
As long as u and baby look good they will be happy good luck to u

I was 35 almost 36 with my last child. You will be fine!
Had my daughter at 35 and she is perfect. Shes 14 now and hardly ever even gets sick.
My sister had her 1st at 38 years old. IVF. She has a healthy beautiful baby girl.
With the way we eat these days prenatal vitamins are a necessity. The baby will use your calcium and other minerals for its growth. They have prenatals with dhea too. The 1st 12 weeks are the highest risk of miscarriage. Stop drinking caffeine. It increases risk of miscarriage as well.

Donāt stress, youāll be fine. Iām 37 and pregnant, Iām classed as a geriatric on the hospital forms 
& due in just over 2 weeks. I did find this pregnancy harder than my others which I had in my 20ās but everything is going great with baby so far. Just make sure to look after yourself xx
Iām soon to be 38, my LB will be 2 yrs 4 months. I had a perfectly healthy pregnancy, natural water birth and was midwife led the entire time. Go and buy your prenatal vitamins now, they are essential in the first 12 weeks
Prenatals are most important during first trimester when the brain stem and spine are forming
