Most medical caution is based of statistics. So while it may be overly cautious to tag every pregnancy over 35 as high risk, statistics show that more pregnancy and birth issues happen to women over 35, generally.

Very true! But after the age of 35 any pregnancy is automatically labelled as high risk... Regardless of health!

I do look young, Messy, and I hate it! I could easily pass for about 16. I think looking young definitely affects people's opinions of me which totally sucks :(

Thanks for your reply, Denny Crane. I guess it's something we need to think about. I feel like I have to justify myself towards people, definitely, because I feel like I'm being persecuted or negatively judged for my age. I feel like I'm the only one who believes 27 is not an abnormal age to be...

Thank you for sharing this, I need to watch more testimonies like this in my Faith journey...

Maybe! But if they know us, they'd know we're both pretty financially stable. We've both been in our jobs (professional) for 5+ years, we own our own home and are $15,000 AHEAD in our repayments! I feel that we are in an awesome place, but for some reason, when it comes down to it, the age thing...

Recently I made a random comment about babies to a work colleague who responded with "You're so young though, you have years ahead of you before you will start trying to a baby!" I've also had people tell me that I am very young to be married. And it seems that increasingly it is a very common...

Because I don't hear him talking to me. I don't feel as though he has answered me in any way, I don't feel his presence or hear any words from him. If I'd been praying to him to ask him to help me feel his presence, wouldn't he answer my prayers?

I definitely sympathise with you because I am a teacher and there is no way I could do the job that I do now if I had children. I work over 10 hours a day, not including all the work I do at night, on weekends, and on holidays :( Is there an option of you going back to work part-time as a...

I feel like I currently have baby fever - BADLY! I've always had very strong maternal instincts, I am a primary school teacher so I have built my career around being with children. But recently it's gotten even worse...all I can think about is being pregnant, babies, and everything...

No! Have you ever been pregnant?

This is what I struggle with, too. Through prayer, I have asked God to speak to me and to allow me to believe in him but nothing ever happens. Over many years of prayer. How and when does God decide who he talks to?

This is the problem I have with my belief (or lack thereof). I am yet to see any kind of evidence :( and it really upsets me. I feel like I have been praying for God to come into my life for many years, but I am yet to feel his presence... so how can I ever know that he is real?

Hannah, I cannot help you but I am going to follow your thread as I am in a similar position. I feel like I have been praying to God for years, asking him to come into my life but I haven't felt his presence in my life yet. I feel like my faith is very weak - someone could easily convince me...

Yes. Have you ever eaten an oyster?

Thank you Tigger and Joshua for your replies! As it turns out, I just got my work roster today and I won't be able to attend the Alpha course anyway, as my local one clashes with my work hours :( I will definitely check out 'Mere Christianity' by C.S. Lewis! Thank you for that suggestion! As...

Hi there, I am new here... I have never really been firm in any kinds of beliefs and found myself questioning the meaning of life and really being bothered by the fact that I had no answers. My mother-in-law invited me to church recently and I have begun exploring Christianity in many ways...
