Welcome to the very first episode of Advanced Maternal Age, the podcast for anyone who’s ever been told they’re a “geriatric pregnancy” and thought, absolutely not, ma’am!

Hosted by two friends and first-time moms, Meredith and Achint, this show gets real about what it’s like to become (and be) a mom after 35, the good, the bad, the weird, and the “wait, is this normal or should I call someone?”

In this debut episode, we’re kicking things off with: Who we are: Two women who did NOT have kids in our twenties, have opinions about it, and also have under-eye circles that could tell war stories. How we met: From strangers to friends to “please look at this rash on my baby’s butt” level of intimacy.

Why did we start this podcast? Because the internet is full of 24-year-old moms doing synchronized stroller workouts and we were like, “Cool… but where are the tired, career-juggling, bone-cracking-when-we-stand-up moms?” What “advanced maternal age” really means; and why the label can take a seat.

Expect unfiltered stories, a lot of laughter, some swearing, and zero judgment. If you’ve ever felt “behind,” “too old,” or like everyone else got the parenting memo 10 years before you, pull up a chair. You’re our people.

Hit play, meet Meredith and Achint, and stick around for a season full of real talk about motherhood… just with slightly older knees.
