pregnant after 35

Hi, does any get the stares when out from everybody, like why did she wait so late to get a baby, shes old enough to be a grandma, makes me feel really uncomfortable.

You'll always find people like that, but I think it's their problem not ours. There are so many women these days who have families later in life for so many different reasons. You're in great company, so ignore those ignorant comments! Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Three cheers to what @redheadbride15 said! Seems like folks catch it coming and going. Have babies really young and get shamed. Have babies later and get shamed. But whatever. It's your family--enjoy it! I have been fortunate in that I haven't met too many folks who make age a big deal. In fact, most of my mama pals are likely 7-10 years younger than me (maybe more!)but I couldn't tell you that for certain, because she has never been brought up.

I had my first child at 19 and people judged me then for being too young...."a baby having a baby" now it's like I'm too old. Trust me people will never be happy. My husband and I have a huge age gap which makes it worse now....lol I'm 35 and he's in his 50's......you want to talk about horrifying comments and we have been together for 8 years. Just ignore them.
