Older mums

[rosie17]

Hello older North London mums - are you out there?

Fab to see so many 'older mothers'!

I had my 40th birthday 10 days before my DS was born. Although I was definitely a lot older than others around me, I had a great pregnancy and almost had a home birth (sigh!). Feeling a bit knackered now though () as my DS is 18 months old and I only stopped BF him 6 weeks ago.

I used to live in North London (Mill Hill/Hendon) before my partner seduced me to the Buckinghamshire countryside!

Count me in for a N London meetup. 45 and 3 children all at school.

Hi all. I'd love to join in too please.

I was recently 40 and my life has just begun ... apparently! Have 2 dc under 5.

CM I grew up in Hendon/Mill Hill and still have family ties there.

Whereabouts are you 3mum? I am in Stokey

Do you miss London chelseamorning?

FunkyNora, I lived off Holders Hill Road for 6 years. I'm sure you'll know it!

Janx, no, I don't miss London as I've moved around a lot in my short life (!). Born in the NE of England. Love the buzz of the city and also the birdsong of the countryside. I'm only about 40 mins from the heart of the city if I get desperate for a 'fix'!

Hi Janx I am in Holloway so not far away.

Hi
It seems to have gone quiet here - where are all the north london older mums

43 with DS (12) DD1 (3.10) DD2 (19mths) I am an Essex Girl Woman.

Chester - any mums (with Primary age children) over 40 in Chester? Or is it just me?

Hello everyone, I'm back after quite a long time away from the board - went back to full time work when my son was 9 months and have been struggling to juggle things ever since. However, I'm desperate for some clever female company (as I said to NotQuiteCockney only this very afternoon) and we've finally got broadband at home, so I'm BACK! Goldenoldie, do you remember me?

I'm the ripe old age of 42, have a 2 year old son and we're hoping to have another one. I live in Bethnal Green. Any other East Enders out there?

kiwkat - of course I remember you! Welcome back. I'm working f/t too, so limited to evening drinks/supper in hackney or islington.
anyone fancy it?
nqc - how are you?

Hi
I am in stoke newington - not sure if I am clever though - am going to be 43 soon - have a 7 month old and a 3.10 year old...I am an eastender though

Hi from a fellow north Londoner

I am in East Finchley and would be up for meeting for a drink/something to eat.

I'm 44, managed to give birth five days before my 40th to boy/girl twins - and definitely not going to have any more!

Drinks/supper one night sounds fun. Could do Islington, but particularly like Hackney as a suggestion. Dates? Thursdays are quite good for our household. Anyone else up to join us?

Thursdays not too great for me as I rely on my dear old ma as a babysitter and that tends to be the one night she gets out ... but other than that - anywhere you can get to by tube is good ....

How's a Wednesday?

Weds or Thursdays good for me.

Wednesday would be okay for me - and Islington sounds good - plenty of bars/restaurants to choose from and easy to get to.

Great. When and where?

Do we want somewhere to eat - or just drink? Anyone know somewhere a bit off the main drag - or at least that isn't oo noisy? Think I could do next Wednesday if anyone else is up for it

God - makes me sound like a complete would-be inebriate - just mean does anyone want to have a meal - or just meet up for a natter etc?

Hi all - it's nice to find this thread. I'm 40 and have a 3yr old boy and a daughter who will turn 2 next week. We moved away from London to Saffron Walden (North Essex) about 15 months ago. I do feel ancient here - definitely the oldest mum on the block.

Although I had friends in London who were older mums they seem few and far between here. It's tricky forging links.....

Great to see so many of you on here!! :-)

hi laurasmiles - i'm 40 this year and have an 11 month old and i live in Walden too - so you're not the only one here. whereabouts are you?

Hey! Nice to hear that! I'm in the town pretty much. I really like the area and it's got a nice feel to it. Have you lived here long?
I expected to plug in to the NCt group but I have rarely been there as my dp looked after my two when I wen back to work. I'm off now and so hoping to make some friends soon.....I had some wonderful friends through work but they are rather far away now.
Do you have a boy or a girl?? I love that age group. How are you finding life with a little one? I seem to be constantly tired!!!! But they are lovely of course....

OOoh Spohus!! Just checkd out your profile - David Bowie, heh? I absolutely love him!!! I cried when I saw him at Wembley (I was about 17 I think - which was about the number of posters I used to have of him on my teenage bedroom wall!)
