[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi.  I’m pregnant with our third after a FET.  I have two significantly older children who I had when I was much younger.  I’m now 41 and just want some feedback from any other “older moms”, especially if you have older children.  I’m not concerned with the embryo health as it’s with a much younger egg but more what it’s like having a child post 40.  Was the pregnancy harder?  The newborn stage?  Did anyone surprise you with their opinions about you having a child later in life?  I’m a Pilates instructor and in great shape but I’m still nervous (and I understand how lucky I am and am not complaining - just trying to get some feedback as all my friends had their kids younger).  Thank you.

43 old mom ( second baby, also pgs tested embryo from younger age ).

I would say get a pelvic floor PT check in just in case. Being a Pilates instructor you might already be very mindful of kegels, pressure and so on... It's the one difference I noticed with previous pregnancy, harder to bounce back.

Newborn stage wasn't harder, I think it depends more on the kid than on the parent's age...

I didn't find opinions surprising, I understood the higher risks ( at least on me ) and how friends would not have made the same choice..  they were also kind enough to not be explicit about their opinions even thought they had expressed it (regarding them) before my pregnancy....
