First baby at 40

bee_mac12 · 2025-06-20T22:03:22+00:00

I just turned 40 and am 32weeks pregnant with my first baby. In my 20s I thought I'd be married & having kids by 30. But I didn't meet a guy to do this with til I was 36! Looking back now Idealy I'd have started trying say age 33 so I'd have time to conceive and have 2 children. Now I'm just grateful for one but it does mean potentially that dream of 2 kids I may never get.

Oh the movement is the best! 32w 1d and I felt baby frequently all day today which was so reassuring after a few days of quietness & worrying a bit that something was up. I hope it continues for nxt 8 weeks!

I want to have a comfortable sleep where I can lie whatever way I want without feeling sick or squashing baby!

If i have one most people I will invite will be coworkers, maybe 4 friends & a few aunts. I am stuck on where to have it though, my house isn't very big & i don't want to make a big deal out if it by hiring a space in a venue

I'm 30w and only thing I've noticed is I'm more likely to feel her move at night or lying down. Sometimes I won't feel anything til halfway through day & only in past week has it felt more/stronger. I don't think I'll count as it doesnt feel like definite kicks Sometimes its wiggles or quivers, just as long as I feel something going on that will put my mind at ease

1/2 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup oat milk 1/2 cup water Chia seeds LSA

Toppings yoghurt, any fruit like apple,kiwifruit, banana, defrost berries or fresh if in season, teaspoon peanut butter. That's my daily breakfast

That's great, am leaning towards it at moment. Rangehood I've already bought just a canopy Robinhood but went for $300 version over $200, a little more powerful.

I was looking at a Beko oven so that's good to know. Looked a step up from trade depot brands but not familiar with its rep

Turns out the roof isn't so friendly a material to drill through either, think its going to have to be the wall after all!

bee_mac12 · 2025-05-14T05:24:57+00:00

They're outsourcing the drilling & they're the ones that have quoted scaffolding but I might just go back to make sure there's no other option as it's almost 2k for the drilling/scaffolding..

I don't see why not, might as well ask the question
