The Reality of Pregnancy After 40

It’s not everyday we get to take a candid look at pregnancy after 40. Michelle Lee talks about her experiences…

In a recent article, editor in chief of Allure Magazine, Michelle Lee gives honest and thoughtful insight into her experiences as an ‘older’ pregnant woman. Ms. Lee is pregnant at 44 years of age. 

At Total Wellness, we frequently hear of the anxiety caused by difficulty conceiving. Less often, we hear about the anxiety people feel when pregnant at an older age. 

Ms. Lee speaks about her earlier pregnancies fifteen years ago and contrasts them with her current pregnancy. Yes, testing protocols have changed, support channels too. But, Google, you weren’t causing anxiety 15 years ago when, at 3am and unable to sleep we google the results of our most recent blood work.

With so many women delaying motherhood, sharing other’s experiences is invaluable. We’re so glad Ms. lee shared.
