Why Create a Motherhood After 40 Book?
Because our stories deserve to be told.
More women are choosing motherhood after 40 than every before.
CDC data shows a sustained, decades-long trend: more women are choosing motherhood later in life. Birth rates for women in their early 40s has more than doubled since the 1990s*, reflecting a major shift in when and how we build our families.
Yet, when we look for stories that mirror our journey to motherhood after 40, we often come up short. This book is meant to fill that void, in our own words.
By sharing our stories, we are building our village.
Motherhood can be isolating at any age, but starting later can definitely amplify that feeling. This book is a way of building a community of mamas who have been there. It’s the conversation with a knowing friend who has been through what you're going through, one you can turn to anytime, assuring you that you are not alone in your experiences.
Our wisdom deserves to be shared.
Navigating this journey of fertility, pregnancy, and motherhood can feel so lonely, but we don't have to do it alone. There is no guidebook for this specific journey- so, we are writing it ourselves. This book is a collection of intimate truths, deep wisdom, heartfelt advice, and practical tips. Basically, the things we wish we’d known, passed from one mama to another.
