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.


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.


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!

So far I have heard: oh your face is rounder! You definitely have put on fat in your face.
another one (friend ahem) - not bad for an old mom. Erm... thanks. I didn’t know I was an old mom at 35!

Wow!!! I consider 35 very young!!! I had both of mine in my 40's, ha ha. One at 40, the other at 44. I definitely got a lot of interesting comments.

One of the nicest things I heard on my journey from a fertility doctor was that if my goal was to be a parent, there are many ways to make that happen (although some are very expensive, of course). That comment had a huge impact on me and made me feel so much better and more in control. Good luck with whatever you choose!

Absolutely!
My partner is completely onboard with adopting a child/ren. I know he would make an amazing father and I wouldn’t take away his opportunity just because I cannot conceive.
