mature mums

[anne50]

Hi everyone.I was just wondering if there was any middle to late forties mums out there on their FIRST child,I am one and would like to talk to other mums about the hi,s and lows of being a late mum

Anne, we are all here:

Do you find the highs and lows different from being 'any' mum, Anne? I was a first time Mum, the same age roughly as Cherie Blair just as all the 'shock horror, she's so old' sensation was raging - funny, cos I conceived naturally, within my bodies natural childbearing span, and can'r se what everyone gets so worked up about. it's very out of date, anyway - no-one in our NCT group was under 38!

Yup, all on the other thread, I see David Blunkett's fancy woman is pregnant at 43 too! I don't think it's any different personally.

I am old but immature, I fear.

Before I started ttc my mother warned me that I was too old, too immature AND too messy to be a mother! I think she meant well
