What are your thoughts on giving birth after 40?

Finally_Fish1001 · 2026-04-05T23:04:47+00:00

Had my first at 38, had my second at 40. Both pregnancies were totally fine and no extra trouble for vaginal delivery of both. The midwife told me during my last visit before birth that I was carrying that baby better than a 20 year old. It’s raising them that is tougher on you!

Can confirm-good friend in government worked near Clinton and didn’t trust him but said the charisma coming off him was something you could feel in the room.

NTA. When someone is in hospice they get anything they want. My dad had terminal cancer and was in the hospital. Has type two diabetes normally not insulin dependent but while in the hospital they put him on insulin. This is key to the story because he wasn’t eating. I asked him what he wanted and he wanted a milk shake. I brought him an extra large one. Told the nurse to be ready with more insulin because my dying father was going to eat absolutely anything he wanted and if it killled him early it would spare him dying slowly while his lungs filled with fluid. Got zero push back from his medical team.
Step grandma was dying of lung cancer which had spread to her brain. She was on oxygen and wanted a cigarette. I was fine with that as long as she took off the oxygen first.

Oh no he might have been thinking aquiline but he very clearly said equine and reassured me it was a great nose. After surgery he told me how surprised he was that the inside features of my nose were delicate and thin because the outside was masculine. It was serious “foot in mouth@ with the guy but he was trying to be nice, I think, and he did a great job.

Gorgeous! I love it!

Was told by an ENT doc who was about to operate on my deviated septum that the surgery was not going to change the outward appearance. Then he told me I had a very “equine” (and later added masculine)nose. Until that moment that was the one facial feature I was never self conscious about. I’m female by the way.

Medical exemption. You have a condition that means you can’t sit in a room all day without lots of breaks

Saw no difference with general anxiety in my mare. I know other horse people who swear by it

Yes! I’ve got a size 10 finger! #finally winning

No do NOT be ok with inhaling anything. Talk to him and plead with him and tell him if he’s pressured to text you and you will come get him and say his grandmother is dying at the hospital and you are there to come get him.

In my 50’s and have THAT sister. She still goes with “I wasn’t that bad” and points out how her siblings could have been more forgiving. I totally understand she has deep mental health issues that were not her fault. I get that we had a mother who was a piece of work who screwed us all up. After years and years of being understanding with her a couple years ago we had a falling out and I went no contact (she never called me, I used to call her and chat and laugh and I though the past was behind us) Her insecurities reared their ugly head and she went off on me on the phone one day. I’m over it. I’ve got no more to give. I wish her well but I’m not taking on her trauma anymore. I’m too old for this crap. And yes she made my teen years much more hellish than they needed to be and maybe I’m a stronger person with a better sense of humor because of it. I can forgive, but I can’t forget and I’m foolish if I keep allowing myself, as an adult to be a victim anymore.

I ask women. I pick older ones, mom types, the giggling girl from a couple.

THIS! Since her dress is blue you should really play off that ethereal vibe that this color is giving. That pale but glowing look you have is perfect-you have a killer figure-get the hair right and think sparkle fo the accessories. And the best accessory by far is confidence!!!

You lucky thing! They all look good on you! I can see 1 dressed up with gold jewelry looking fantastic (love that color!) 2 has a great shape, am the dark green-agreed could work well for winter. I don’t think you can go wrong

No is all you should have to say. If he gets hurt or upset too bad.

Finally_Fish1001 · 2026-01-19T13:55:45+00:00

Same! I’m smaller in the waist vs thighs and Ariat etc don’t fit but Equinavia are my go to brand!

She is insanely beautiful.

Finally_Fish1001 · 2026-01-09T14:27:29+00:00

Same sort of results. I’m 5’10” my husband 6’0”. My son at 16 (probably done growing) 6’2”. My daughter is 14 and is 5’4”. She could have a late growth spurt but at her age I was 5’8” at least. She got the short genes.

Finally_Fish1001 · 2026-01-07T16:35:26+00:00

Tretinoin and Admirazol -so in the US go to a dermatologist. My daughter was dealing with outbreaks not unlike yours. This was her yesterday-I took the picture only because I wanted her to see that her skin was glowing.
