I am 43 years old and I’m 34 weeks pregnant with my third child. Whew! And, I gotta say, pregnancy in 40s is a little bit different that it was in my 30s.

Pregnant in your 40s: The Good, Bad & Ugly
Please hear my heart: I don't want to add to the cacophony of voices out there that speak to how hard it is to be pregnant in your 40s. Or how it's high-risk, geriatric, crazy, dangerous, rare, impossible and on and on.

Women have been giving birth in their forties for hundreds and hundreds of years. They call it "Geriatric pregnancy" whether you're pregnant at age 35 or pregnant at age 40, pregnant at age 41, pregnant at age 42, and so on.

Yes, women can give birth much later than in their 30's! But, it doesn't always mean it is easier.

And that is the tension: I want to be encouraging but I also want to be real with you. My pregnancy in 40s is different than the ones in my 30s; and I think it's important to be honest in the journey and not sugar-coat the experience. This would be doing a disservice to my fellow mamas!

Overall, I have had a fantastic, normal, low-risk pregnancy. I am able to function each day. I can get things done. My life is manageable. But I have had to make some adjustments along the way that I didn't have to make with my pregnancies before. AND IT'S BEEN TOTALLY WORTH IT!

I am confident that there are some 40+ women out there who feel absolutely amazing being pregnant and are energized by the whole experience. Don't think that just because you are in your 40s and pregnant, your experience will be like mine. We are all so unique!

I wanted to share my experience in case it helps a mama who may be struggling or feel like it's extra hard. While it has been more intense to be pregnant in 40s, I would do it again in a heartbeat. The gift of this new life is beyond my wildest dreams!
