First Time Moms Beyond 35

In this episode, I talk to Traci, a full time stay at home mom in her mid 40s.  After multiple attempts to conceive a baby and carry a baby to full term, Traci, had her first baby naturally at 46.  This happened at a time that she wasn't even trying to conceive!  She will share what life was like before she had the baby and how it is now.  She will also let us know what is significant for older first time moms to know.

You have made it to your mid thirties or you're in your forties and childless.  You are not alone.  I think it is a global expectation that you get married, have kids and live happily ever after.  We all know that life is not this simple.  Life is a roller coaster and with all the choices and technology we have today, having kids is not everyone's first priority.  There are some things in life that we can change and then there are some things that we cannot change yet.  The female biological clock has an expiration date.  We don't know for certain how long our lady parts can bear children.  The bible says a woman named Sarah gave birth at 90 years old.  So if you're in your 50s, there is still hope.  But these biblical stories won't be taken seriously by the average person on earth today.  Medical doctors will tell you by the time you are the advanced maternal age (35 and beyond) your likelihood of carrying a child to full term is diminishing day by day.  These words will have a woman and her partner fearful in a heartbeat.

In today's episode, I talk to Courtney Shane, a married woman in her early 40s, whom spent most of her life as a lesbian.  She fell in love with a man for the first time and married him 5 years ago.  Bearing children hasn't been on her mind until a recent experience with her OB that now has her living with the fear of missing out on the opportunity to have children.  Listen in to learn more.

In this episode (Part 1) I talk to Kayellen, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant.  She helps moms throughout the US on their breastfeeding journey.  Kayellen was very helpful for me during many nights that I went into a panic trying to figure out what I needed to do for my baby from infancy right through to even 14 months.  Since, breastfeeding doesn't come naturally for everyone and their baby, finding the right support is key.  Breastfeeding is healthy for both mom and the baby and the CDC guidelines recommend breastfeeding for at least 6 months.

For this 2 part series, Kayellen, shares with us the importance of having a Lactation Consultant, how maternal age affects breastfeeding, and if there is anything that older first time moms need to consider.

Are you a mom or expectant mom beyond the age of 35?  Older first time moms worried about lactation and breastfeeding can listen to this segment for information from an experienced Lactation Consultant.  Put your mind at ease and listen in.

In this first episode, Isabel Prosper, the host of this show introduces the podcast with a glimpse of her personal journey as a first time mom beyond age 35.  Isabel is a full time mom with a desire to connect and build community for women in this demographic.

I'm a first time mom beyond age 35 and interested in connecting with more moms in this demographic.  Parenting is rewarding and pretty scary at the same time.  Although, I am on this journey with my husband, I still want to connect with peers going through the same experience.  I think all mothers can relate no matter the age, however having children later in life comes with a an alternate set of complexities.  This first episode, I share my story and thoughts of being a first time mom beyond 35.
