If you’re like me and have spent hours scouring the internet for successful stories of healthy natural pregnancies in your forties, you will be familiar with all of the same dehumanizing stats, and this is not the place for that. I’m not letting the stats rule my life and I hope you won’t let them either. Believing in my body and helping it along when needed has become my positive focus in the quest to become a mother, after all this body of mine is my home and has carried me thus far in life and I believe it can bring another life into this world as well. Yes, I know that there are many ways to be a mother and likely those too will become part of my story as well, but for the immediate future my goals include preparing my body, mind and soul to concieve, have a healthy pregnancy and carry to term (if only partially to prove those stats wrong).
Deep diving into why my miscarriages all occurred before 8 weeks gestation has been my initial mission. I have sought out as much testing as I can, with all the results coming back within normal range. In my next post I’ll cover the testing and immediate plan I have organized for myself.
