100. To celebrate our milestone 100th episode, we are doing something different: hearing from women who are in the thick of it right now. Join host Jamie Massey as she sits down with four incredible women—Sarah (44), Johanne (44), Bidi (43), and Katie (46)—for a global roundtable discussion on the raw, real-time experience of being pregnant in your 40s. From Scotland to the U.S., these women pull back the curtain on what it actually feels like to navigate "advanced maternal age" before the baby arrives.
This episode explores the vast spectrum of the "Over 40" experience, including Johanne’s 15-year journey of faith and six embryo transfers, Sarah and Katie’s empowering paths with donor eggs, and Bidi’s total shock at conceiving naturally at 43. We dive deep into the topics rarely discussed in clinical settings: the "mental scramble" of shifting your identity, navigating birth plans like VBACs and delayed cord clamping, and the resilience required to manage physical hurdles like grapefruit-sized fibroids. This isn't just a collection of success stories; it’s a masterclass in persistence and a reminder that you are never alone in this community.
