Description
Over 40 Fabulous and Pregnant Podcast is the ultimate podcast for women over 40 who are trying to conceive or are pregnant. Typical episodes are one woman's journey over 40 years old from TTC, pregnancy, birth and postpartum every other Monday. We laugh, cry, share a little TMI and openly talk about the ones we lost.
Prepare to feel empowered trying to conceive, believe pregnancy is possible over 40, relate to other women's struggles, be educated about how women get pregnant, feel like over 40 isn't too old to have a baby, embrace 'advanced maternal age', and ditch outdated expectations.
Hosted by Jamie Massey who also shares her own journey to motherhood of almost three years. She became a mother at 43 using donor eggs. She has had seven pregnancies and continues to share her journey.
