Welcome Karen. I love to hear stories of people's journey to motherhood later in life. I think it's great that we can help support each other. BTW...wanted to mention to the group that we've launched a line of "later mom" tshirts on motherhoodlater.com, if you care to take a peek.

I didn't get married until I was 35, had my daughter at 36, and then my son at 40 and now I am done. I would love to have more but unfortunately the 40 yr old body couldn't handle the second as well as the first and I am still recovering almost four years later - see the premature gray hair!!! I wasn't mentally ready earlier in life and of course I hadn't met the love of my life either. I know it would have been physically easier but I feel more prepared now than when I was young. Actually, does anything prepare you for motherhood? I feel more mature and ready to be a good parent now. I am looking forward to the group. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.

I first became a mother at 36 and found myself having less energy than when I was in my 20's, and I was stressed out even more when I would go to the park or take my son to mommy & me classes and talk to all these mom's that were young and in great shape. I have to say that I love being an older mom because I feel that I can now give my children 100% of me as opposed to if I was in my 20's. I only cared about going out and myself.

Do you find you have more or less patience as a later mom? I know for myself, I feel like I have less patience because I was my own person for so long. And, especially because I work from home. My work day doesn't have a finite ending, so I'm always trying to squeeze in a moment here 'n there to do stuff.

Being the oldest mom in pre-school could at times feel a little like "odd oldie out" and only got tougher entering kindergarten/elementary. This was not something I realized at the time, but there were definitely some pre-conceived notions. Couple this with the fact that I worked full-time and let's just say it took me 5 solid years to find a group of women that I adore and respect. Even today, I am the oldest mom in my wonderful circle of friends and still take a bit of a ribbing at every 'girl's night out birthday celebration'...but, I truly believe in the adage, "You're as young as you feel" because ironically today people constantly mistake me for at least a decade younger.

Having kids later in life certainly has its advantages. My hubby and I were in a pretty stable (financial) position when we had our kids (I was 37 with the first and 41 with the second). Ahh, of course, these days I can't claim anything stable [given our economic climate]. It was a little tougher physically to have our kids this late, but for me, focusing on first establishing my career and then having a family has worked out well. My only word to the wise is that it can be difficult for women to have children as late as I did. And that's a scary thought. In my case, I didn't meet the right man until I was 35 years old...and so the story goes.
