When I had babies in my 20s, I was young and optimistic—I figured I could handle anything. By my 30s, I had a few more kids, a lot more chaos, and maybe just a little less mental bandwidth. But then, when I was 40, I surprised myself and decided to have one more. Parenting is an adventure, and no matter how many kids you have or how old you are, the ride never gets predictable.
Let me just start by saying that pregnancy at 40 is not for the faint of heart. The first big difference I noticed was the exhaustion. Sure, I was tired with my other pregnancies, but this time, it felt like I had been hit by a truck every time I got out of bed. Every movement felt like a yoga class I hadn't signed up for, and the doctor's appointments took a bit more effort.
