[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eh, 37 year old FTM in the DC area isn't really "older than an average first time mom." Particularly for the practices that deliver at Sibley and VHC.[/quote]

Biologically we are all primed to deliver our babies as teenagers. Birth control unnaturally halts that natural biological process. Infertility treatments now allow many women to become pregnant who likely would not have been able to get pregnant trying the natural way. All this to say, it’s unrealistic to then expect a natural, physiologic process that has been delayed 20 years and created by artificial means to unfold naturally without incident. It’s not to say it won’t but this idea that, sure, you’re totally going to have that east natural vaginal birth, is just not how it works out for a lot of us and it’s worth Knowing that going in ahead of time to manage expectations.

But PP is right. In this area, AMA FTM isn't unusual. [/quote]

Thank you. That's all I was saying. No one is going to give OP the side eye for being 36 or 37 and pregnant with her first.

Heck, most of the practices that deliver at Sibley would be more likely give you side eye for being 24 and pregnant![/quote]
