I work with a bunch of women. Some of them are in their late 30's and 40's pregnant with their FIRST child.
That is fine, personally I don't care, but they get mad if someone calls them an "older mom."
I don't get why they would be mad, they ARE older moms!
If you are 40 and pregnant with your first child, then you are not old age wise, but you are old as far as the age range to have your first child.
They are not young moms, they are not average aged moms, they are mothers who were older than most moms when they got pregnant.
If you say an older mom would be someone in their 50's or 60's then that doesn't make sense, because it is rare a woman could be fertile enough to carry a child at that age.
Therefore, a mother who is in her late 30's and 40's is an "older" mom.
It justs like a pregnant 18 year old being called a "young" mother.
What do you think?
(I had to get it off my chest, lol)
