We need a thread “sh**we hear while pregnant!”
I'm all for this. I'm a mere 5 weeks, so I'm sure the next 35 will provide rich material for that thread.

As someone who also was ”old” parents at 35, my husband and I were wiser, financially sound and had a loving & stable marriage. Our child reaped all the benefits of such. Enjoy and congrats!
Wholeheartedly agreed. I'll be 33 and my husband will be 44 when our baby is born (first child for both). Our kid is definitely better off for our maturity and years of careful planning. I feel like the comments people make in the direction of suggesting advanced maternal age come from an insecure place. My parents were even older when I was born, so they set the model and I am grateful for that.

Absolutely! So much sh**. And how people, random people, want to touch your belly. Yikes. I was in the latter half of my pregnancies during the summer months so I had the weight gain and the puffiness to boot, so naturally people had tons to say about both. What I should do, what I shouldn't eat, how big I am..... You know, shi**. :annoyed:
Again, I am FIVE weeks pregnant... and a coworker rubbed my belly today! (I had to disclose at work because of Covid, which is fine.) My husband has the all-clear to do that as much as he wants, but my hip bones still stick out beyond my "baby belly," so let's not pretend there's a visual cue to rub there, you know?

This thread has been a great distraction from work tonight. Thanks!
