I was annoyed to look at my paperwork that listed high risk *twice* every time. "Yeah, I got it... I'm a walking corpse at the feeble old age of 41!". :grin: :silly: Whatever... I had a perfect baby with no complications, so put that in your 'medical miracles' files. Lol! :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elderly-primigravida#post-2209380 Mon, 15 Jun 2015 21:37:12 +0000 travellingbee 2209380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just bumping this because I looked at my paperwork from the OB today which said my reason for appointment was ammenorhea (uh, I'm pregnant....) and I was listed as "Supervision of high-risk pregnancy of elderly multigravida".

You are not because this is your third. You are still elderly (haha) but not a primip.

I learned the term ~10y ago when a coworker was expecting her 1st over 35. I knew I'd be a late-in-life mama, so I expected it, but was pleasantly surprised to ONLY be called "advanced maternal age". :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elderly-primigravida#post-2076753 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 12:51:30 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2076753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elderly! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elderly-primigravida#post-2076745 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 12:49:11 +0000 LovelyPlum 2076745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elderly-primigravida#post-2076733 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 12:46:19 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2076733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elderly?!?

Do you happen to know how "old" it is (as in, when it fell out of common use)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elderly-primigravida#post-2076310 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 10:06:06 +0000 sapphire 2076310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's the old medical term for "advanced maternal age." Multigravida is the word for having given birth previously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/elderly-primigravida#post-2076303 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 10:04:08 +0000 yellowbird 2076303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha!

It was on my post visit summary yesterday so I Googled it when I got home. </p> <p>Elderly Primigravida- a woman who becomes pregnant for the first time after the age of 34.</p> <p>I guess it was on my paperwork in error since my first was born when I was 32? Or maybe it still applies to me since I am pregnant at 35? Sounds terrible! </p> [attach=1791/15/nk0x8u.600x169.image.jpg]
