Catherine Gray Is The Only Over-Forty-Mom-To-Be In The Room Episode 126

What if instead of having kids in your twenties or thirties, you decided to wait to get pregnant until you had both a partner and financial stability?

Catherine Gray, best-selling author of the Unexpected Joy book series, was forty-one years old when she and her partner decided to try for a baby.

But what would you do if after finding out that you were pregnant, people suddenly felt as entitled to ask you personal questions and offer unsolicited advice about your “later in life” pregnancy? Would you let them get into your head and start to doubt the path you’d taken? Or would you filter out the pessimism and decide instead to remain unexpectedly optimistic and joyful?
