You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

Our wings are not tired.

Or I was kidnapped by aliens.

If so, I hope they injected you with superpowers. Seems only fair.

I'm glad I'm in good company in the elderly parent club. I turned 38 at this last birthday, and TCG will be 48 in September.

I hadn't read the comments until now. The Daily Mail article looks like crap based on everything else I read.

My cousin's wedding was today. I'm glad they had a beautiful day for it. I forgot when it was after I decided it wasn't feasible to be two hours from home with busy summer traffic this close to my due date.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I turn 40 next Friday, and M is 45. Advanced Maternal Age for the win!

juliana, has anyone referred to your pregnancy as a geriatric pregnancy? Because that's fun.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"Geriatric pregnancy", hell. I have a friend who had two kids after she turned 50.

No, but I know my friend in Minneapolis who was 38 when her son was born got to hear that. Kaiser Permanente is Very Serious about Not Using That Term (I asked, out of curiosity). I think the relatively higher maternal age in SF has something to do with that.

Emmett's mom was 38 when she had him and she was the youngest mother-to-be her OB/GYN was seeing at the time.

Data from 2010 says that the median age of mothers giving birth in SF was 33, so that sounds about right. My OB/GYN is very emphatic about my age not be anything to worry about. (Or something like that. I just got up.)

In conclusion, sj's docs should take a page from SF's OB/GYN practices.

It wasn't my doctor. It may have been one of the genetic counselors. I can't remember. My hospital only has a maternity ward for high risk patients, so I see a lot of older mothers, but the classes were for both branches of my hospital, so there were much younger mothers to be there. Other than us the only people that asked any question was one other couple that seemed closer to our age than the rest (or at least the husband was, the wife looked younger).
