Biological Clock
It is very interesting. I got a message via Facebook from a friend and then saw a piece on Good Morning America regarding fertility. There is hope for having a baby after 30. I was 38 or 39 . Six friends also had their babies at 39 and 40. One had hers at 42. Try not to stress about your biological clock. I must say though, because of eating organic and the amount I used to exercise, I was in the shape of someone 10 years younger according to my doctors. I also got pregnant shortly after making some life changes. This has nothing to do with hormone levels or egg counts, but I think it made a difference.
There are risks to a woman who gets pregnant after 35 and to the child. All of our children were born healthy. Though there are risks, it can happen. I thought there were too many negative stories haunting women so I wanted to share a positive one.
This is something that I needed to hear as I am approaching 38 in exactly three months and in a serious relationship with a man who is 5 years younger than me. Neither of us have children and in our discussions about marriage and the future, we both want at least one.
I was already encouraged by the fact that both my mother and my grandmother had children at 40. Your post was just more confirmation that I will be just fine.
I am so glad. It has been a big change. I have another blog that catalogs some of the adventures at http://theaccidentalmother.blogspot.com.
