💨 Abstract

The author shares her experience of becoming pregnant at 42 and the negative reactions she received from others. Despite initial doubts and judgment, she found the experience rewarding and believes age should not deter women from having children. She encourages Atomic Kitten's Liz McClarnon, who is expecting at 44, to focus on the positive aspects of pregnancy and motherhood, despite potential criticism.
