So, apparently I'm elderly

[violajack]

I thought the term was AMA, but I just got the summary from my NT appointment today, and apparently the official name of my condition is elderly multigravida. Awesome. 

I might need a support group for this. Is there a good shuffleboard court around here? Do I get a discount at Denny's? 

Oh and the baby measures a full week to 8 days ahead. But they won't change the date unless it's 10 days off. The ultrasound tech caught herself just before saying abnormally large and backed it up to the "high high side of normal range".

Whatever, I'm old and my baby is fat. I'm just happy to be here.

Legit lol. Yay for a fat healthy baby, you old lady, you! I thought it was AMA too. Elderly sounds like my grandma is pregnant.

Elderly is just wrong! But I did literally LOL at this.

They changed it a few years ago. The Drs I work with are always like uhhh I'm not calling her elderly, ffs. Lol.

Glad everything else looks good!

Welp, you should probably join AARP now 😆

My cousin just had her baby at 38 and all of her ultrasounds said "elderly" on them. Since I'm 36 I'll also be considered "elderly" although the PC term is AMA.

I have to ask violajack, how old are you? You can tell me to Stfu, lol.

I will be 39 in march and so far my OB has not said anything about me being an old lady 👵

Oh, I'm only 36. It's the new term for advanced maternal age apparently, which is anyone over 35. No one actually called it that directly, I just noticed that's what it's called in my medical record. It's "supervision of elderly multigravida."
