It’s actually amazing how many women I know that are having their first babies in their late 30’s and early 40’s these days. LIke me, they chose not to have children earlier in their lives for one reason or another. Obviously, there are more risks if you conceive at an older age, however, so far all of my friends have had very healthy beautiful babies. Does being an older mum make you a better mother? Not necessarily. But it definitely makes you a more patient mother. If you decide to try for a baby when you are older it generally means that you have done all the things you wanted to do and a baby is now something that you would like to compliment your life. Therefore, you are ready to make the sacrifices and changes to your lifestyle that a baby often brings.

It seems that every time I turn around one of my friends is fleeing London for the coast. Another good friend of mine has just sold up in London and is moving to Worthing near Brighton for a better life for both her and her young son. It seems that many of my friends would like to follow her example, and escape the ‘big smog’, some even wanting to emigrate because London is so expensive and unpleasant. With the internet explosion it makes it much easier for people to work from home or abroad and continue to support their lifestyles without necessarily livng in London. I wish her luck in her new life by the sea and hopefully will be visiting often.
