Had my baby at 37 👀
Had my baby at 37 and suddenly I’m the ‘older mom’ 😂
Having my baby at 37 was a transformative experience that brought a mix of excitement, humor, and new challenges. As an older mom, I felt a distinct shift in how I perceived motherhood compared to younger moms around me. One surprising thing was attending mommy and me classes that often felt like college orientation sessions, full of vibrant energy and youthful enthusiasm, which made me chuckle and realize how different my journey was. Being 37 at childbirth also meant I was more mindful about my health and self-care, understanding the importance of taking care of both my baby and myself. I found that 'momselfcare' was not just a hashtag but a necessary part of daily life, integrating little moments of rest and mindfulness to keep up with the demands of motherhood. Motherhood unfiltered means accepting and sharing both the beautiful and messy moments without judgment. For me, embracing this mindset helped me connect with other moms, regardless of age, and find humor in everyday challenges—like feeling like the 'older mom' in groups but knowing that age brings wisdom and strength. If you’re a mom over 30 or considering having a baby later than your peers, remember it’s a journey rich with its own rewards. The community of moms over 30 is growing, with plenty of support and shared experiences that highlight both the unique aspects and commonalities of motherhood across ages. Embrace your story, find joy in the little moments, and know you’re not alone.
