Hi! My name is MJ. I am the creator of this blog. It’s main purpose is to create a space where people can go to feel informed and excited to be having a baby. While everyone and all ages are welcome, the focus here is for people over 40.
When I first found out I was pregnant, I was thrilled, shocked, amazed, all the things! The first thing I did was start to look online to see what other expecting moms were up to and what their concerns were. While I found lots of information, I was unable to find any information that wasn’t doom and gloom for people over 35 and down right terrifying for people over 40. Site after site just proved to be a list of all the bad things that can happen while trying to conceive or actually being pregnant. It was almost as if the entire internet was shaking its finger and tut-tutting me for having the audacity for doing something that only an accepted group of people “should” be doing. Dramatic, I know. That is early pregnancy for you. lol
My hopes for this blog is to share my story, experiences and any resources I find along the way. But really? I would love to give people a soft place to land. I would love to help build a community where we can all share our experiences, both good and bad. Pregnancy can be scary. Ditto for middle age. It doesn’t have to be. We can thrive. I’ve got you, boo
