New moms over 40?

We waited (and waited) to have children. And now here we are, in our fourties, with 3 year-old twins.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Well, we're only having one but here we are in our 40's having our first and probably last baby. So far I haven't found any local groups focusing on the over 40 first time parent crowd. I know that there has got to be others out there, so I hope that they speak up.

We just had our baby girl four months ago. I was 44 when she was born. We waited along time for her. What a joy. I wish I could meet some new moms my age---I attend a couple of breast feeding support groups but the mothers are mostly much younger. I know the older moms are out there---I just haven't found them in the nursing mom groups I attend. Any ideas on how to meet older moms in my area?

I'm a mom in her 40's and i feel the same...needing to chat with other moms over 40. I think we all need encouragement and some support. I had my daughter when I was 40 1/2. :) She's 2 1/2 and i'm 43. Also, since my daughter will more than likely be an only child would like to meet some adult "onlys" that might have some advice for us that were 1 of 2 or more and are raising an "only".

My husband and I had our first child three months ago and we are both 44. I have other friends with new babies but no one near my age. I would like to communicate with others close to my age who are first time moms. I've looked online and this forum is the closest thing I have found. I look forward to any communication or support.
