Raising babies in your 30’s

〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️Whether you’ve graduated this era of your life, you’re in the midst of it, about to be a new mom, or you’re wondering if having babies in your 30’s is even a viable option, you’ll find you’ve reached a stepping stone towards relatability on this page. So, welcome! Let’s have some coffee (or whatever beverage/snack you prefer) and chat a little.

This is definitely a topic you’ll see me share my thoughts and experiences on throughout my time here in Lemon8; however long that may be. Especially being in the beginning of my own personal journey with my almost 7 month old at 35 years old.

In the mean time it would be nice to read some of your own experiences or aspirations as a mother. The highs, the lows, the mundane. This is a space to just let it all out when you feel like you’re always expected to hold it together. Let’s get REAL! 📣

... Read moreRaising babies in your 30s is increasingly common, with many women embracing motherhood later in life. This shift can bring both opportunities and challenges. Research suggests that older parents often have more financial stability and life experience, which can contribute positively to parenting. However, they may also face higher risks during pregnancy and concerns about parental age in relation to child development. Creating a support network is vital for new mothers, especially in their 30s. Online communities and local groups can be invaluable for sharing experiences and advice. Furthermore, prioritizing self-care is essential. Balancing personal time with parenting duties can be challenging, but it's crucial for maintaining mental health. Whether it's through hobbies, fitness, or socializing, finding time for oneself can enhance overall well-being. Expecting parents should consider prenatal care and education, focusing on both physical health and emotional wellness. Resources, such as parenting classes and support groups, not only prepare you for the arrival of your child but also help form connections with fellow parents. Overall, while raising babies in your 30s may come with unique challenges, it also offers a wealth of experiences and opportunities for growth.

I feel like I would have likely recovered faster and would have more energy if I’d gone through pregnancy and birth in my 20s vs 30s. Waiting until I was mentally ready means I’m not quite physically ready anymore, but it’s a sacrifice I made on purpose. Still hard af, though! 🫶🏻 (both my kiddos are autistic, too) 😅

I had my first at 22 and my second at 32…then just had another at 34 😂 the thing most different for me was the pregnancies. Much easier when I was 22! I loveeee having little ones at this age.

After a LONG STRESSFUL morning yesterday I was absolutely over it well before 10am. The kids (all three of them) have been beyond demanding all week. The baby can’t really help it but that fact of the matter didn’t exactly make a difference in how absolutely overwhelmed I was. The older two though…
