Friend, I’m here to share the real real on my postpartum journey (so far!) As a mom over 40, my recovery from birth and pregnancy was something I thought a lot about and PLANNED for.

In this chat, I’m sharing how I worked to minimize complications during my pregnancy so I had less to recover from in postpartum PLUS what worked for me before, during, and now after.

Every body is different and I want to extend grace to you (and myself) as we navigate managing all the things around pregnancy and postpartum. But now that I’m on the other side, I’m excited to share that it is possible to get back to YOU!

Let’s chat about weight gain, sex with our spouses, juggling the other kids, and postpartum anxiety. For those of you in it with me or hoping to be here, let’s get real about the spectrum of postpartum.

Thanks for being here friend! Keep the stories and comments coming over on Instagram @NicoleWalters.

We chatted about Josie’s birth story last week but what about pregnancy? How did it REALLy go at age 40?

Friend, if you’re approaching 40 and have birthing a baby on your heart, let this chat encourage you!

Getting pregnant at 39 brought it’s own stressors like what about my current kids and career?! Ultimately, I learned that there are real advantages of being “advanced maternal age.” Hit play to hear how I handled those stressors and what went right throughout my pregnancy.

You can gather all the information and read all the books but the story that’s told about getting pregnant over 35 doesn’t have to be your story. It can be perfect and magical and exactly what you waited for.

And I have to say friend, thank you for all your comments about the birth story and this whole pregnancy journey so far. It has been so fun to hear your stories and thoughts. Keep those stories coming over on IG @NicoleWalters.

Friend, I just gave birth for the first time at age 40 and I’m here with Alex to share all the birth story details!

From evacuation to the doctor MISSING when he gave me an epidural to an unexpected nurse change, it was crazy! But it was all worth it because we walked away with a beautiful and healthy baby girl.

Listen in (or hit play below!) to hear all the details and what we named baby girl #4!

Thanks for being here friend! I’ll be back next week to chat about the reality of postpartum. Until then, follow the journey over on Instagram @NicoleWalters.
