Finding Information Online for Parents-to-be Over 40
More and more people are delaying parenthood until they are in their forties or even older.
Women over 35 getting pregnant, are the fastest-growing demographic in our modern world.
With the increased prevalence of older parents, it seems there is also increased controversy, discussion and resources swirling around the “older parents” movement.
There is a bevy of information online for older parents - whether you are considering adoption or pregnancy and birth, are interested in how children of older parents do in comparison to those whose parents are younger, or just want to gather information.
A couple of the best resources listed is my Stories of Pregnancy blogs!
🤰🏻 Stories of Pregnancy and Birth Over 44 is a fun site with a collection of thousands of stories and articles about and by older mothers. This resource focuses on women who give birth to biological children after the mid-forties, not necessarily parents who have adopted.
🤰🏻 Pregnancy Stories By Age -- My goal is to simply share stories I find online, for inspiration - to those trying - and comfort to those who find themselves unexpectedly pregnant!... Sort of achicken soup for the TTCing over 44 soul!
