The positives of trying to conceive at 40+
We are trying for our third. If this doesn't work out we still have two wonderful amazing children in our world. I know this is different to others, who may be trying for their first..... Yet this is hard, so I have given some thought to the positives......
I am fitter than I have been for ten years.
I am thinner than I have been for four years.
I am healthier in nutritional choices than I have been for twenty years.
I am learning to care for myself.
I am going to my family doctor to sort things out.
I am learning to manage my stress better (can't fall pregnant if you are stressed).
I am reflecting on our relationship as a couple, and doing a better job of being a partner (don't want to bring a child into a family of effort by halves).
I am letting go of small problems.
My perspective on our failings is improving (it is a difference).
I have broken addictions (coffee) and surprised myself with my determination and discipline.
I am recovering from disappointments. Sometimes with a bounce, sometimes I crawl and clamber, but I get there.
