I’m not saying do or don’t. I’m just saying don’t put too much pressure on yourself or your body if you do.

Cervical exams in pregnancy are important for induction. Beyond that, it’s really just for curiosity. It does not predict when labor will start.

It’s okay to be curious. It’s okay to want to know. Just go into it with the knowledge that your body is doing things you can’t feel or measure to prep for labor. Things ARE happening even if it doesn’t seem like it.

Birth is a mystery. We still don’t know how or why labor starts when it does. I know it’s hard to live with uncertainty but that part of the surrender.

We expect women to “move on” from birth in six weeks.

But a lot of stories never get told or not in their entirety, with the true depth we carry in our bodies and minds eye. We scratch the surface.

I’m changing that.
The Birth Story Project is open for submissions.
Tell it how it really was.

Client love 💗

You can eat the dates.
Drink the tea.
See the chiro.
Hire the doula.
Write the birth plan.
Do the meditations.
Visualize the undisturbed water birth.

And birth can still go sideways.

Not because you didn’t manifest hard enough.
Not because you “held fear.”
Not because your body failed.

Sometimes birth unfolds in ways no one can predict or control.

What breaks my heart is how often women blame themselves — especially in holistic spaces that imply:
“If you trusted enough or birthed at home… this wouldn’t have happened.”

That narrative is just as harmful as the medical one that treats birth like a pathology.

You are not a failed birth story. You are a powerful mother who endured and overcame to bring your baby here safely.

We can believe in physiological birth.
We can critique broken systems.
And we can tell the truth:

Sometimes everything is “right” and it’s still hard.

And that doesn’t mean you did it wrong. 🤍

You don’t find a lot of optimism culturally or in the medical world when you have your babies past 35…

But I’m here to change that tune.

Your age does not dictate the health of your pregnancy or your ability to birth your baby.

Your age is not a reason to label you high risk.

Your age is not a liability.

But who you choose to support you in pregnancy and birth could be… find a provider who will treat you as an individual, promote healthy lifestyle and diet, and believes in your ability to have a healthy pregnancy in birth, regardless of your age.

Yes, there may be more screening.
Yes, the system may label you.
But you don’t have to internalize that narrative.

I know it’s hard to undo all of the cultural fear around having a baby later in life. Baby steps.

Stop Goggling what can go wrong. And start planning for what can go right…

Feeling nervous about birth after 35?
You’re not alone — but you’re also not broken.

Yes, the risks are real.
But so is your wisdom. Your voice. Your power to choose.

Swipe through to unpack the fear — and reclaim your confidence & share your favorite 🤩

Birth after 35 isn’t something to fear —
it’s something to approach with wisdom and confidence.

I know all the news out there’s sounds bad and that you’ll end up with terrible complications. But please hear me when I tell you that the most likely outcome of your pregnancy & birth will be a healthy baby.

Don’t buy into the hype. Stay centered in yourself and your intuition. You go this 💪🏼

Trying to conceive after 35?
Then you already know it’s not just about ovulation windows and lab results.
It’s about your *whole* body.

Your physical health.
Your emotional well-being.
Your sense of safety, trust, and self-connection.

So many women are told to track cycles, take supplements, and stay calm —
but few are told this:

You are not broken.
You are not behind.
You are allowed to feel this deeply and still trust your timing.

Honor your body.
Tend to your emotions.
You are worthy of motherhood on your terms.

Now is your time 💥

Welcome to the space on the Internet, where motherhood after 35 isn’t something to be scared or ashamed of, rather celebrated and rejoiced in!

Welcome to the reclamation of the narrative about motherhood at a later age. You’re not too old, you’re right on time.

05/02/2025

To be fair the wounds are still there and motherhood will dig them up even further…the difference though is your resilience, your resources, and your self-awareness.

You didn’t miss the magical window of motherhood, you’re simply not following the timeline society prescribed.

And you’re better for it.
Your babies will be too.

04/29/2025

If you’ve ever felt like you were behind — in your timeline, your choices, your journey — I want to gently remind you:
You’re not behind. You’re blooming in perfect time.

Tell me: What strengths did you bring into motherhood that your younger self couldn’t have?
Let’s change the narrative — together.
