Fabulous 40 and Fertile
I remember when trying to conceive at 38 years old my O.B.
who I must say is the best.
Dr. Beister told me as long as I stay healthy without
complications along the way she would support me with my journey for as long as
I wanted to try.
I'm pleased to say we conceived when I was 39 years old.
My O.B. still support our journey of conception if we would like to continue
the journey. I am now 41 years old with a beautiful daughter and would
love to continue my journey and I still have the support of my O.B.
Every O.B. you interview must be on the same page with you
for care and labour and delivery. Discuss your idea of labour and delivery. Do
the research stand your ground. Also,
Know the truth about your request, know the risks and know the hospital
procedure for your request.
Everything you think is fantasy or unreal may in fact be a reality for you during this journey.
One thing I advise to families when I meet with them is to sit down and think about the most fanciful labour and delivery they can come up with and then we will discuss how we can make that fantasy a reality using realistic methods. I worked with a family this past January that blessed me so much with being a part of their best and most intimate moment. The Mother at the time of delivery was 49 years old. Yes, you read it right. I said “49 years old”. They had a beautiful baby girl.
Know this your journey doesn’t have to be over. Yes, you
may have to have help. Look into your options. There are so many ways you can
be helped if natural conceptions isn’t realistic for you. Speak to a fertility
Dr. check into IUI and IVF. Believe it or not your medical insurance may cover
some or all of the process. We were so blessed you have BCBS and they covered
almost the entire IVF process.
If you haven’t read my Blog, it takes a village I suggest
you do. It will give a little direction on who you should look into as your
team to prepare you for this journey.
A Doula is a great way to start with building your team.
