Any "older" moms with younger children??

Hi, I'm 43 with a 4 year old. Although I really don't think of myself as an "older" mum I have more energy than most of the mums I know 10 years or so younger!!!!

Yea seriously, good for you!

All my friends started having babies as soon as they got married like age 30 was some sort of cut off. I thought this was a ‘Sex In The City’ generation, women having careers then pushing the kids idea into their late 30's sometimes even beyond but apparently not... my friends are quitters, what a great investment University was for them... :mad:

Anyhoo, good for you! I may have kids eventually but not start until 32-33 which means a 2nd would be born before 40 or so and that is soooooooo not too old for me!

That being said, apparently it always bothered my younger sister to have parents so much older than her friends' parents. My mom was 29 with me and 35 with her but also my town was Italian-dominant in the 80's so there was a lot of young wives who started getting pregnant 2 or so years in so age 22 but a lot has changed in the last 25+ years.

I am 40 YO and have 2 boys! One is 7 and the other is 21/2. I am a stay at home very busy mother! I love being home with my youngest but it can be hard at times.

I am doing the JM 30 Day Shred and am on day 6 of lesson 1. It is a great and fast workout.

Last year I lost the majority of my weight by restricting my diet. I was really good at staying on it. I have worked out pretty much for 5 years now and toned but the key for me was diet!!

GL! Feel free to friend me! I love having motivators!!

count me in, i am 42 and have a 4 year old...wouldnt change it for the world

I just turned 40 and have a 6 yr old daughter in Kindergarten. I still want another child. Yep. I'm crazy. :noway:
I think losing weight will probably help me in my quest. Plus i just want to be healthy and set a good example for my daughter.
Feel free to send me a friend request. I see others here that are similar to me.

Hi. I am 49 with an 8 year old. I am a single mother and work full time, with a very long commute. I had lost 135 lbs over an 18 month period due to gastric bypass surgery, but gained 50 back over the last few years. I am working to get those pounds back off, and am down 8 after 2 weeks. Feel free to add me.

Hi! I'm 39 with a 7 (in March) y o and a 4 y o. I'm here thanks to the 4 yo telling me I was fat, and because I gained 90 lbs while pregnant the first time. It was a rude awakening, I felt, being in my 30's having kids. There were more concerns, etc. so I ate poorly (no diet food) and stopped running. I ran 5 miles a day but almost miscarried at 10 wks. So yes, I shot off the excuses and allowed myself to eat for 20, but I'm also the one working to lose it all. Better late than never! I also have an old head Injury so every single time I do any cardio, I get extreme pressure, and terrible pain in the back of my head resulting from nerve damage. Because of this I could lay around and feel sorry for myself or grit my teeth and pray really hard for it to ease. I've chosen to live and breathe through it one day at a time. I've been doing so for almost 2 months and lost 20 lbs. No pain no loss right??? Lol. I'm sending you a friend request. I feel that anything is possible if you want it bad enough!

44 (almost) with a 3 year old. So fun, and like others, I don't feel "old" at all.

I'm 46 with a 24 yr old (getting married in April) and a 20 mnth old. Both boys and I'm loving every minute. getting healthy to be around for both boys through all their milestones. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I'll be 52 next month and I have a 14 year old and 9 year old. Somehow I didn't get the word that getting pregnant was difficult when you got older. LOL I have about 40 pounds to lose but would be thrilled with 25. Oh and I'm now single too. There are so many men my age looking for someone like me that has younger kids. *rolls eyes* However, I do love the kiddos and we along with the two cats make a great family. ^_^

I'm 40 with kids that are 6, 6, and 8. I'm not sure if I fit the "older mom" or the "younger children"
