I was born with HIV in the 80’s. My doctors told my parents I wasn't going to live beyond 1990. I had my first child at age 35. My first born son was my miracle baby. To my surprise in 15 months I had another boy. My sons look like twins as they are so close in age. Then at age 40, on December 18, 2023 I had a baby girl ...the baby girl is 4 months old. I come here to see how your baby is doing because your baby is as old as my baby. I don't feel like I am done because we are not doing anything to prevent another baby to pop. I am so grateful for this motherhood journey. It's all God's timing.....if motherhood is on your journey, it will happen no matter how old you are. All my children are HIV negative. So, ladies still waiting: hang in there.❤❤❤❤❤

Cuddos to you, I have sickle cell disease and I'm 47 and due in August with my rainbow baby

[@REPENTFORTHEKINGDOMISATHAND]

Serious question: how are your babies negative?

Bless you Sis! Thank you for sharing your journey. May God continually bless and keep your family.

[@REPENTFORTHEKINGDOMISATHAND]

@@petty334 gotcha! Oh wow, that's amazing!!! I didn't know that! Thank you for answering! My I had two aunts, 1 got hiv from someone another born with sickle cell so its awesome they have medicine for both that allows for it not to be passed!

@@alisiyan12 thank you so much, because of me having sickle cell disease and 3 miscarriages I gave up. But God decided it's my time. I'm praying for you ☺️

This is comforting. Im turning 34 years old and still single. But im hopefull that God will introduce me to my person soon.

[@lionelluva]

You look beautiful! I’m so happy for you!! Honestly I’m 35 and not married (yet!). I’ll be considered an “older” mother. But I’m trusting God that when it’s my time, the babies will be so beautiful 🙏🏽❤️

[@BeautifulBrwnBabyDol]

Wow! Thank you! And girl them babies will be FIRE!

[@Jabburns67]

Also, don't be afraid to switch your o. B. G. YN if he or she is not giving you the care that you need.

[@BeautifulBrwnBabyDol]

Amen sis!

[@lacy6608]

Yess so true. One obgyn told me to say “goodbye early” (abortion on 4 months) bc it looked like the child I was carrying may have mental issues according to some tests he did. Questioned a few things and Switched bk to an obgyn I used before and after his tests he saw NO problems..I kept my baby and she’s 7 years old now. Smart as a whip and has absolutely NO issues whatsoever ❤

[@iViCMychael]

Congratulations! My mother and father had me when they were 41. God bless there souls🙏🏾🤎, I miss them dearly. I’m actually about to be a father here at age 29. My son is due mid May. Definitely scared to death as far trying to figure out how to be a great dad I’m not gonna lie lol but God got me 💪🏾

You've got this brother! God bless and congrats to you. ❤

[@brendajohnson9798]

Dr. Nina, I was 25 with my 1st and 41 with my 2nd. My son passed away 21 years ago in the Marines, and my beautiful little girl (25) is completing her masters at UTSA. I was certainly a lot more consciencious during my pregnancy at 41, than 25, because I knew what not to do. Eating properly and not putting on excessive weight was at the top of the list. I gained 75 lbs at 25, and 30 lbs, at 41, lol. You look amazing, and your baby is absolutely beautiful. Congratulations!

[@susank6326]

I am 41 and due in August I got pregnant through Ivf,it’s not been easy but I hold on because my miracle in my womb

[@YT4Me57]

I found myself working full time and taking on the caregiving role to a succession of close relatives for over a decade. It was another decade before I achieved relief from grief and peace. During that time I never met a godly man and by the time I came out on the other end I was into my 50s. Children were no longer an option biologically and I didn't want to raise an adopted child on my own. All my friends and network of support were becoming grandparents. Then I lost my uterus to cancer; another rough season. I feel that I lost out on a part of life that could have been so rewarding, but it wasn't my destiny.

[@shawncrosby8244]

I pray that the fulfillment and peace that God has for you is abundant !!

[@icycici6191]

Thank you for being brave and sharing your story 🙏🏾

[@mellodees3663]

I just turned 33 and I just got married 4 years ago and my husband and I are just getting around to talking about actively working towards kids not that our lives have settled down. This gives me hope for not thinking it too late to have a child.

[@Search4Cherise]

All of this is sooooo important! I got pregnant with my son at 30, & will be giving birth at 31 - I’m a first time Mom. Currently 38 weeks pregnant. It was discovered at my first appointment that I had ovarian cysts! Completely asymptomatic - so I wouldn’t have found out until A) I got pregnant or B) I suffered ovarian torsion & had to have emergency surgery All of this news was a lot 😅 thankfully I’ve had a healthy pregnancy, & my baby is healthy. But I will have to have surgery to remove one of my cysts after I have the baby.

[@kendregab7328]

Congratulations I'm so happy for you and that you and your baby are healthy 🤗 I just turned 30 last month. My boyfriend told me last week he's going to propose sometime this year and have a wedding next year. So about 6 months or so after we're married we're going to start a family. We'll be around age 32 as our birthdays are a few weeks apart. I'm a little nervous but excited about the upcoming journey. Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated 😊 🙏

[@Search4Cherise]

@@kendregab7328 trust Gods timing! Make sure you’re in good health before getting pregnant! Exercise routine now so you can carry with ease! 🙏🏿 I was very active this entire pregnancy so it didn’t take me out lol. & I look great! Gained a healthy 35lbs but it’s all belly, & increased fluids! Make sure you have a great doctor that truly cares about what’s best for you too! 🤍 It’ll be a beautiful journey! 🙌🏿✨🥳

[@cynthiahoward2285]

I love watching your content and I am so very happy for your beautiful family. We had our last baby and only girl when I was 40. Wouldn’t change a thing. ❤

[@akilahworley]

Ever since I found your page probably back in 2016 or 2017. It may have been before that you have been an inspiration and role model. From hair,confidence,weight loss, career, and lifestyle I’ve appreciated your perspective. Now that I’m 30 I appreciate you sharing your journey with your husband and now motherhood.

[@BeautifulBrwnBabyDol]

Wow, thank you!

Thank you so much 🤗

[@erdftzgh]

i lived with my father in India when i was young. Women their keep geting pregnant in their forties and fifties all the time and it is not an issue. why do we make abid deal of it? 🙂😉

[@egersis8]

Same in Guyana where my parents are from. Women 20’s to 50’s are having babies❤

[@drinabooboo]

Because American women have a high mortality rate during birth. Older women are considered high risk for problems.

[@sunshineand]

The medical system creates problems in my opinion

[@misskk7123]

Exactly my grandma had twins at 40 so I always think this.

[@terreciakennedy3265]

​@@misskk7123chances are higher for multiples over 35.

[@terreciakennedy3265]

I'm 41 and wish it were harder for me lol. I get pregnant as quickly today as I did in my 20's. My oldest is 20. Smh, but After this baby I am definitely getting my tubes tied.

Now that was me I was so scared bringing this little person home, I didn't know what to do so I read book's back in a day they had a pediatrician on TV that help me so much and a few family members also. Today they are grown and doing okay.

[@clairegasamagera3777]

When I had my first baby it was Winter times. Not any winter , an Almighty Michigan Winter. I was scared as the clinic didn't give me a manual " how to use, how the baby functions,... I was scared I didn't know what I was going to do with a 7pbs baby. Yes, postpartum anxiety are real.
