This is true, because the older you get, the greater the risk for you and the child. But personally, I don’t consider myself brave, I consider myself lucky. When I gave birth to my first child at 39, I said that I wanted a second child as soon as possible, but I was not ready for this in reality.

They are often mistaken for grandmothers or think that their children are from different fathers. Or they think that this child “turned out” by accident. Women who gave birth to their last child after crossing the 40-year mark often encounter misunderstanding in the eyes of others. This social pressure, in turn, stops other mothers dreaming of “one more, last” child - this is not talked about much in society, and therefore it seems that “people will not understand.”


“You have no idea how tired I am of people who think my children are from different fathers,” complains Claire, 46, who gave birth to her youngest child at the age of 40. “These people simply cannot understand the desire to have another child and therefore think that it was simply a mistake. But believe me, there was no trace of a mistake.”

At the time of the birth of their youngest child, Claire and her husband Damion, 44, already had two teenage daughters. But Claire was sure that her family could not be complete without a third child. However, her husband did not think so. “It took a long time to persuade Damion, he didn’t want a third child. But it seemed to me that I literally felt the presence little boy at our house. Perhaps it was this feeling that convinced my husband."


In fact, Claire ended up having a girl. Before the husband agreed to another child, he had to make various persuasion: Claire promised that she would get up at night and feed the newborn, that she would pay for the nursery and kindergarten, and even that she would invest in paying for a motorcycle for Damion, which would become it is a kind of “farm pay.” As soon as her husband said yes, Claire became pregnant within a week.

Women who decide to give birth after 40 often have to not only take full responsibility for the child, instead of sharing it with their partner, but also defend their right to the very possibility of becoming pregnant “at that age.” Claire's friends, for example, said things to her like, "What the hell are you thinking?" And her older daughters were “shocked, surprised, but in the end they still accepted and were even happy about this news.”


Psychotherapist Jenny Miller says it's actually quite common for women to want to have a baby before going through menopause. “For some women, the “incomplete nest” syndrome can be so strong that this condition literally exhausts them. For others, the very thought that the children will soon leave the house, and only she and her husband will remain, is unbearable. Although such fears are usually not typical for men : on the contrary, they are waiting for their wives to turn their attention from their children to themselves."


The psychotherapist also warns that main danger It lurks not in the spouse’s relationship with the new child, but in the relationship with older children. "Children are used to being the center of attention, but now it has shifted to the baby. Plus, parents also abuse shifting responsibility and force older children to babysit the younger ones. Older children cannot be forced, they must be inspired and encouraged."


For 45-year-old Nikola, who has two sons, one of whom is 18 years old and the other 4, the problem of relationships between children is very familiar. "My sons get along, but it's not a brother-brother relationship, more like an uncle-nephew relationship. For the younger one, the older one is just another adult in the house."


Nicola, like Claire, has faced judgment from other people at one time or another. “When I was eight months pregnant, a stranger came up to me in a store and said: “You’re taking risks at your age, you understand that?” I was so offended, I even cried later at home. What right did he have to tell me that? ?"


Nicola always wanted to have another child, but her first pregnancy at 26 was so difficult that the woman simply could not decide to go through it again. “I felt so bad then that I even had convulsions. I didn’t want to experience that again.” However, by the age of 40, Nicola was “ripe” for this decision. She talked to her husband that it was worth a try, “while my eggs are not yet dry,” although she herself thought that the idea would not succeed. “It took me two years to get pregnant with my first child. And I became pregnant with my second 6 months after making the decision.”


Fortunately, Nicola's second pregnancy went wonderfully. But this time the mother herself was much more responsible: she did yoga, ate healthy, “did everything by the book.” But while acquiring another child, Nicola lost several friends. "People judge others without even bothering to look into it. I lost several friends because of this. They were so tactless that they simply called me crazy to my face. Of course, I was cheerful in public, but at home I was very sad because of such remarks, especially when they were repeated to me over and over again. It’s good that my husband supported me."


Gynecologist Shazia Malik believes that the desire of 40-year-old women to have another child can be explained by their subconscious desire to “prove their fertility and, as a result, their youth” in the run-up to menopause. There is nothing wrong with this desire, but, as Shazia warns, one must understand that without support at this age it will be much more difficult to raise children.


“I’m sure there aren’t many mothers whose eldest child goes to university and the youngest goes to nursery,” says 44-year-old Avril. She and her husband Lenroy now have four children - 18, 15, 10 years old, and the youngest just turned 4. Raising so many children turned out to be very difficult, Avril even calls it "a complete nightmare" - organizing leisure time, studying and raising children with such The age difference takes a lot of energy.


"Mothers especially anger me kindergarten. Don't get me wrong, they are sweet and want the best for their children, but we are on different wavelengths." Over the years, Avril has found, trends among mothers have changed dramatically. "Young mothers see danger all around them, even in a lump of sugar in their cake. So in their eyes I'm desperately old-fashioned."


Avril began to see less of her friends due to caring for the baby, and this meant that she had to look for new friends among the mothers in the kindergarten. As a result, Avril found a friend who is 7 years younger than her. “Young mothers don’t understand that their lives now completely depend on their children. When I say that it’s time to think about which school to send their children to, they laugh.”
Despite the difficulties, Avril does not regret having given birth to her fourth child. “It just killed me that I would never be pregnant again, I would never breastfeed. These are actually very sad thoughts. And these thoughts are still with me, especially when I look at my youngest son and I understand that I don’t want him to grow up."

We = our food

We are made up of what we eat. And over 40 years, the human body has passed through more than one ton of food. Just imagine these mountains of dishes and products! Were they all fresh, nutritious and “healthy”? If you haven't taken the path yet healthy eating, but you don’t give a damn about your own life and the well-being of your child, you should do it immediately. Nutritionists recommend: after 40, you should eat carefully and slowly, and always leave a little short. It is strictly not recommended to: overeat, eat dry food, eat in overtired state– You should rest before and after eating. If you are genetically inclined to be overweight, eat the less the better, but often. You can have dinner at least 2-3 hours before bedtime. The habit of overeating at night leaves the secretory apparatus without rest, and this leads to overstrain and destruction of the digestive glands. The best dinner would be a glass of kefir, juice, yogurt, berries, fresh fruit. Drinking coffee or tea for dinner is not recommended. Switch to a diet rich in vegetables and fruits. Especially healthy vegetables for this age category are cruciferous vegetables: Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower, broccoli. Be sure to consume more antioxidants in food or in the form of vitamin supplements. Fiber foods are also very beneficial. Stop drinking alcohol or limit it to a minimum, on holidays and in doses allowed for drivers. Avoid dehydration. Calcium is very important for you now. At any age you should monitor your diet, however, after 40 you need to do this several times more carefully.

Run towards your health!

After 40, sports are necessary not so much to maintain your 90-60-90, but to maintain body tone and healthy well-being. Physical activity at the age of 40+ it is simply necessary. After all, if you sit with your arms and legs folded, irreversible changes begin to occur:

  • Flexibility is reduced by 20%.
  • Fat mass increases in volume.
  • Kidney function decreases by 20-30%.
  • Muscle mass decreases by 30%.
  • As a result of muscle imbalance, the accuracy of movements is impaired.

All these changes lead to a deterioration in metabolism, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis.
