💕 The Joys (and Realities) of Pregnancy Later in Life
Motherhood doesn't always follow a perfect timeline and that's more than okay. Some of us welcome little ones earlier in life, while others (like me!) experience the journey later on. With that comes a unique blend of joy, wisdom, and yes… a few extra challenges. 🌸
I loved this article from Atrium Health: The Joys and Challenges of Pregnancy Later in Life. It points out that while doctors may use the term "advanced maternal age" for moms 35 and up, that doesn't mean pregnancy suddenly becomes risky, it just means extra care and support are needed. 🩺💗
One mom in the article even shared how she felt more confident with her later pregnancy, saying she "knew what to do" and felt better prepared. 🙌 That really resonated with me, the balance of experience and excitement is such a gift.
If you're an "older" mom, curious about the journey, or just want a reminder that every path to motherhood is worth celebrating 🎉, I encourage you to read it. It's honest, encouraging, and a beautiful reminder that age doesn't define our ability to love, nurture, and thrive as moms. 💕
