Last Friday I turned 35.
Which in obstetrics means I’ve entered the elite category of:
✨ Geriatric ✨
Wild how last week I was fine…
and today I apparently qualify for extra monitoring and sometimes forced unnecessary intervention.
Turns out pregnancy outcomes have a lot more to do with health and prior births than a single number!!
But in honor of my Advanced Maternal Age era, please enjoy these aggressively awkward JCPenney glamour portraits. Which made excellent Christmas gifts for my parents btw 😉 we all had a good laugh…both with others and at us as we walked around the mall like this.
Moms — how old were you when you had your babies?
