Any book recommendations?
Ladies, I suspect that the guy I am currently with is committed elsewhere/unfaithful and I need to confront him. I have had this nudge for a while and after attempts to get him to talk,I feel like he sweet talks me out of the convo. Any tips on how I can firmly address this without completely losing my mind coz I feel like I’m a bomb about to explode? I used to ignore little things about him but I think they are building a huge red flag.Im so depressed.
Yes ... very common. Many women nowadays have kids much later. As always, ask your doctor for the most accurate advice for your situation since accountants on the internet can only offer anecdotal advice. Good luck!
Yes, you’re at a great age for kids! I had mine at 36 and 38.
You are still not considered “advanced maternity age” yet. Look it up. Once you hit AMA, the risks of potential genetic issues go up a lot. Talk to your doc about it. Ofc it’s just a risk only which doesn’t mean that baby won’t be fine. A lot of women these days are having kids later with no issue
Most of my (work) friends had their children mid to late 30s and early 40s, so your age seems perfect. A lot easier in PA to manage your time and perhaps work reduced hours if you are slightly more senior, and they were 'ready' for parenthood as they'd done all the partying and travelling they wanted in their earlier years. Just don't leave it too long as have other friends who struggled to conceive so needed extra time and help.
I had my second at 33. Many M/SM at the big 4 around my age or a bit older were into their 2nd at the time too. I would recommend if you are in the Big 4 because of the long maternity leave. I was out for half a year with my youngest and it was great! No regrets!
My mom had me at 36, and had a normal healthy pregnancy and I was perfectly fine! She actually brags that I was her best labor, only 45 minutes lol.
I was my mom’s first at 35 & she had my sister at 37. We both came out healthy and are both still healthy and in our 20s!
Yes! Talk with your OB for any specific recommendations. Start charting your cycles so you can rule out any issues prior to trying for a baby (cannot stress this enough). And when you get your positive test, get blood draws for hcg and progesterone to make sure everything is tracking correctly. I know many women who have had kids into their early 40s, so you are definitely not too late.
Risks will be up now that you’re in your 30s and could be much harder to get pregnant, but just start trying right away and don’t wait. The longer you wait, the harder and more risky it will become
Yes! Had my first at 32 and having my second this summer at 34. Both pregnancies (so far) going very smooth. Good luck!
Yes. I had my first at 36. If I could do it over I would have started sooner!
Me and my fiancé are just starting to try — I just turned 33. My OBGYN said that’s a wonderful age and not to worry a bit so don’t get in your head about it, it’s a great age to start 😊
I have two kids- had my first at 33 and no health issues. There are definitely pros and cons with having kids later but I don’t think there is any perfect age to have kids. I personally am happy I had them when I was ready and felt the time was right. Just be aware that fertility issues are real so maybe be prepared to seek help quickly if that seems to be an issue (which is not necessarily because of age). Most of my friends also had kids in their mid to late 30s so I personally think it is a great time if you are a working professional!
Absolutely! I had my 3 at 31, 33, and 37. Even at 37, my OB said the risks were not much higher than at 31/33 (even though that was technically classified as AMA).
p.s.—to me, having kids in my 30s vs 20s was not something I regret at all. I was well established in my career before having kids, have actually worked on a flex schedule since having kids (something that would’ve been tough early on), have more $ as a result of career progression, etc. I don’t for a second with I had my kids any earlier.
I wouldn’t panic about fertility until you have an issue. In your 30s, I’d probably ask your doctor if you try 6 months without success (vs waiting a year if you were younger), but just being in your 30s alone doesn’t mean you will have issues. I had crazy irregular periods but has zero fertility issues.
37 and 39 here. Very normal, fairly easy pregnancies and deliveries. Good luck!
I had mine at 34 (close to 35), 37 and 39 (close to 40). Got pregnant within 2 months of trying (I just paid attention to my cycle and when I was most likely ovulating), all normal pregnancies and births and the kids are fine, no disabilities. We also do a lot with our kids, road trips, hiking, coach sports, etc. (some people say you lack energy being a parent to young kids while in your 40s, we have not found that to be true). My point is, yes you may run in to difficulties having children but that can happen at any age, so do it when it's right for you (but, don't wait for the "perfect" time from a career standpoint, that doesn't exist).
