Postpartum AND perimenopausal moms (at the same time) discuss “old mom” life, and it’s the hilarious, heartfelt reminder you need that there’s no “right” timeline to having kids, even if society is out here shaming you for doing things on your own time.

" ... we’re old moms, we’re going through postpartum and perimenopause at the same time.”

One simply said: “I feel so seen right now,” and all the “old moms” around the world cheered in agreement.

This viral TikTok is celebrating “old moms,” aka those who welcome babies in their late 30s and beyond. You know, the ones who are called “geriatric” and “high-risk.” Category : Viral & Trending

"Dr. Goad is wonderful! Ive been seeing her for 8 years with all my babies! Trustworthy doctor!"

"I love DWOBGYN! They truly care about their patients. Dr Goad is the best!"

"Dr. Goad is a wonderful caring physician. She always takes the time to listen and answer my questions. I definitely feel heard and validated by her. She explains all options available. I never feel rushed during my appointments. She must be so amazing because she’s hard to get an appointment with. I’d say that’s my only issue, it’s hard to get in to see her. But I can see why! She’s an amazing physician!"

"Dr. Goad was awesome. She is so knowledgeable about HRT. She was a joy to meet and talk to."

"Dr. Goad is so supportive, positive and such a great doctor!"

Thank you, Dr Goad!

What do you think? Are the boy's actions innate or learned from watching his dad search for things that are right in front of his face? Lol

Did you know that babies receive multiple benefits from massage? Parents do too. The first one listed can't be beat. Here are just a few:

Studies show that infant massage has a profoundly positive effect on your baby's physical health by helping them:

- Ease into healthy, restful sleep

- Feel calmer with lower levels of stress hormones

- Relax their muscles, encouraging flexibility in their arms and legs

- Breathe healthfully and gain good body awareness

- Digest food better and experience less constipation

- Benefit from healthier circulation and stronger immunity to disease

- Reach a higher stimulation threshold with less skin sensitivity

- Suffer fewer symptoms of colic, such as irritability and sleeplessness

There's a new medication for PPD, FDA approved, too! (https://www.health.harvard.edu/womens-health/fda-approves-first-pill-for-postpartum-depression)

"Many people feel sad, empty, moody, or fatigued within a few days of giving birth — a condition nicknamed “baby blues.” But postpartum depression goes well beyond that, lasting for weeks after you give birth."

(http://tinyurl.com/HealthlinePPD)

Different from the "baby blues," postpartum depression can cause severe mood swings, exhaustion, and a sense of hopelessness. Here's what you should know.
