Hello all, I'm Aline. I'm from Asia.

Nice to meet all of older mom here. Hope we can share our story :)

There are tradition in Asia that a woman should be married on young ages, so the percentage of older mom on Asia is decreased year by year.

Lovely to meet you, Aline, welcome! It's always interesting to discover how different cultures view pregnancy, childbirth and child rearing. I was reading that for the States, on average women have their first baby at 25 now. I don't think we have quite the same emphasis on getting married at an early age as Asian countries do but I could be wrong. ) There's a lot of older moms out there though in the US alone. According to that article,


More than a third of first-time moms in the U.S. are over 30 when they have their first child, the National Center for Health Statistics reports. Preliminary data for 2006 show that just over a quarter-million women — 267,253 — had their first live births at age 30 to 34. The numbers declined as the mothers' ages rose: 113,390 live births among women 35 to 39; 22,557 among those 40 to 44; and 1,727 among those 45 to 54.


Keep your fingers crossed they all join the forum! D I'll look forward to hearing you share your story.

Hi Aline - welcome to the forum!  I'm sure you will get a warm welcome here from all of the other older moms.  Even if we have trouble meeting people in real life who are in the same stage of life as us.. I'm finding more and more that we can share online instead.. it really is a global community. 


I'm looking forward to reading more about your family and parenting in Asia. 

Once again - welcome!
