Hi all
I'm not sure this is allowed...
As a mum of an 8 year old and with a baby on the way at the ripe old age of 42 I’ve found myself being shocked by how much negativity there is surrounding having a baby in your 40’s... packed with fears, tests and talks of routine inductions and that isn’t how I wanted to experience this absolute blessing of being Mum again.
I thought it would be a nice idea to create a bit of a forum or group for us older Mum's to talk pregnancy and babies because I've noticed that it's certainly different this time around. From consultants talking about inducing you automatically at 39 weeks (this happened to me!) through to being worried about walking in to a Mum and baby group and being the oldest in the room...
My little girl is due on Christmas Eve 2020 :)
It's so different to be going through pregnancy later in life and very often our friends aren't in the same boat... all my friends now have teenagers!
I want it to be a positive space and apologies in advance if it isn't allowed!
