[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good morning, I am late to this thread and just skimmed.

Congratulations OP.  I am sorry you feel like you are getting the silent treatment.  I am in awe that you are expecting and wish you the best.

I am the "not sure if I'll be back" OP.  You can look back to mid-September in this forum to find out about the birth of my now 6-week old daughter.  I am 44.   I don't feel like I got the silent treatment, but I was very familiar to the practices I was with (having lost two pregnancies in a year).  I did usually almost immediately make some joke about my age with whomever I was dealing (since I was truly in awe of being pregnant at 44).   Frankly, I am the oldest woman I have every known personally who had a baby.  I only know of older women by word of mouth.

I was high energy in my pregnancy and have always been physically fit.  However, I was not prepared for the aches and pains I am experiencing with this child.  Sleep deprivation - yes. Stiff as a board - no.  And it kills me I can't find time to take a bath to soak it off.

Good luck to you!

Being stiff after childbirth happens to younger women, too.  It just may take a while longer for those of us in our 40s to bounce back, but don't worry, you will.  My joints were so sore for about 1 year after giving birth, but now I'm back to normal and love chasing after my little munchkin, even if I am  40+.  You will only feel like an old mother if you let yourself feel that way.  I like the PP who said that we need more loving mothers in this world, regardless of age.  Congratulations OP!!
