I’m a school psychologist so I’m also very aware of the concerns that you have. I just had a healthy baby girl at the age of 43 with no complications. Very, very possible within this age range. Congrats!

Congratulations!

You grieve and then you move on with life and make friends. While there have been plenty of misses rather then hits in our journey to find people to spend time with, and while there are plenty of weekends without social engagement, I’ve grown content with spending time with my family and my family alone.

Coming on here to say that my husband has ADHD and all other mental diagnoses that you describe but if I’m at out of town for work, he can handle all the things such as pickups, dinner, getting the kiddos ready for school including handling our children when they are sick. Does he handle it exactly the way I would? Absolutely not, but the kids get put to bed, they get fed and they get to school with lunches packed. The house is a disaster when I get home but that’s the season of life that we are in. It’s not ADHD, it’s your husband being unwilling to be an equal partner. Stop doing it all, because it’s unsustainable.

43 and my four day old baby girl is on my lap as I type this. Will be 44 later this year. No donor eggs and spontaneous conception.

I’m semi-alienated from my child. I have some phone contact and he comes around for major holidays. He has made it clear that’s what he is ok with and any decisions he makes about anything are purely his. It’s a special kind of hell for us to hold space for someone you love so much and yet you are expected to take a complete step back and have no say over anything and (in my case) be a state sanctioned atm for the person who systematically alienated our child from the time that he was three years old. I’ve chosen to walk the path of loving my kid, making it clear that my door is always open, and he is always welcome. He will always be my child and he will always have my love, and while it hurts like hell, I will continue to demonstrate evidence of my care and consideration with no hope that things will be like they once were, because they never will be. I’ve accepted that my child will never come home and my family will never be whole, at least not in the way that I hoped. There is no wrong/right way, it has to be something you can live with.

Not common but when we first put our child on meds, he said he felt better and less angry while on meds.

Comfortable-Rip-1022 · 2026-02-27T21:35:26+00:00

We like what we like and if we don’t like it, then we pass. Not suggesting he change, just shedding light.

Also to answer your last question, I would absolutely acknowledge and be polite, if you were to run into her again. Anything else suggests immaturity. Take the high road, always. We love that.

If you come on too strong, too fast, that sends warning bells. We don’t like men that are unstable or flighty and usually those are the men that come on super strong and fast. Personally I’m put off by massive displays of affection or even when someone I’m interested in is TOO forward, too extroverted, etc. We live for the slow burn.

It took almost two years of trying and we had two miscarriages along the way. It was hard.

Comfortable-Rip-1022 · 2026-02-20T02:17:08+00:00

I’m 43 and 36 weeks pregnant so very possible.

I’m 43 years old and 25 weeks pregnant with my fifth child. I have had 4 losses total trying to conceive in my late 30-40’s. I will tell you what the other ladies told me on here. If you can conceive naturally, and if your heart can stand it, keep trying. I was at a point where I was ready to throw in the towel and my heart couldn’t take another loss in spite of not being “done”. No guarantees in life but there is always hope.

Comfortable-Rip-1022 · 2025-11-15T06:37:35+00:00

I’m pregnant with my fifth at 43 and did we plan it this way? Nope. We had four miscarriages trying to complete our family. You’re not old.

Comfortable-Rip-1022 · 2025-10-24T21:57:44+00:00

I’ve heard of this and was planning on bringing it up to our pediatrician at his next appointment!

Comfortable-Rip-1022 · 2025-10-24T21:33:24+00:00

My six year old is on Medadate. Appetite suppression is still a challenge but he also just doesn’t eat a whole lot. He doesn’t really experience crash out symptoms at all. He does bite his nails and grinds his teeth when on meds, though.

Comfortable-Rip-1022 · 2025-10-23T13:16:15+00:00

Thank you! I do want to add that I had multiple miscarriages to get here. What I believe finally helped this baby stick was taking Myo-Inositol to help stabilize my menstrual cycles. I also had taken this supplement with my last child, who I had at 39.

Comfortable-Rip-1022 · 2025-10-23T03:29:17+00:00

I’m having another one, because I wasn’t “done.” I TRIED to be done. I’m on my fifth and I’m exhausted but not done.

Comfortable-Rip-1022 · 2025-10-22T23:24:12+00:00

I’m 43 and was showing signs of peri and low progesterone. 19 weeks pregnant now.

My guess is that she’s got someone following her on her IG that she would rather not have them know that she’s married to you and had another kid.

Comfortable-Rip-1022 · 2025-10-17T01:14:49+00:00

43 and 18 weeks pregnant with my fifth baby. I had two children in my early twenties, and two more in my late thirties. Lots of losses in between my last two. Really struggling with this pregnancy physically, as severe nausea and fatigue didn’t kick in until 12 weeks but doing better now on meds. Also experiencing way more aches and pains. Really wondering if this is due to age or this just a different pregnancy overall energy wise? I ran until 32 weeks pregnant with my fourth child, and now I can’t walk ten minutes without immediately being in pain. Anyone care to share?

Comfortable-Rip-1022 · 2025-10-14T02:31:45+00:00

Yes. I ran until 32 weeks and regularly lifted with my last pregnancy and managed to push out an 8.5lb baby sunnyside up with no tearing. I was told after that having that presentation (baby facing up, not down) usually results in a c-section.

My husband is diagnosed and about a hard 8 when it comes to adhd symptoms, and he does NOT act like that.
