Hi to everyone from new member - Pregnancy at 40
Hi All,
First time user to this site so hope i get this right.
A brief intro;
I have suffered with poor sleeping patterns for many years now - often only getting a few hours a night (due to low grade long term depression/stress/and a deviated septum which means i cant breath thru one nostril - plus dustmite allergies on top of this makes my nose blocked at night) - anyway this over a long time lead to adrenal exhaustion and chronic fatigue.
I turned 40 the other day and my biological clock is ticking big time. Im just not sure my body in this tired/exhausted state can handle having a baby which ive heard is very demanding on the body - and at the age of 40! I know this is a very personal decision but maybe i could get some views of any of the other members that have possibly been in the same situation.
Everyone goes on about how great it is to be a 'mum' and i shouldnt miss out on the experience in my life - but how does one decide - especially when you cant try before you buy? Plus im not 100% on my partner! - is anybody i wonder?
The other area i wanted to look into is if anyone has had surgery for a deviated septum ( breathing thru my left nostril is almost non existant) and found success. Im not really keen on surgeries and ive heard that scaring can often make the situation worse/or there is no improvement at all. I also read about a heat treatment somewhere where they soften the cartilage and reshape it - which sounds a better option to me. So i would like to hear from others and there experience if there is anyone.
Im currently studying a degree in Nutritional medicine -which is not easy at 40! but am only in my first year and i can only manage part-time so it will be another few years yet before i graduate.
Look forward to chating soon.
