Frequently Asked Questions
We receive requests for advice and feedback on pregnancy over 40. Unfortunately, we can’t offer that kind of help over email.
Want to be a guest on the show?
We would love to celebrate your pregnancy over 40! First, you must have at least turned 40 years old during your pregnancy or older. Second, you should be comfortable speaking English. Third, the best time to share your story is three months postpartum or beyond. And last, you do NOT need to have had a certain type of pregnancy. We like to share a wide variety of stories to show how different each pregnancy can be. We like to share: easy, hard, amazing, struggled, tough, IVF, spontaneous, donor conceived…you get the idea!
Photos: 6-10 photos are requested before the recording to help tell your story on Instagram. Often time these photos are already on your Instagram account. Here are the typical photos to email before the recording in they aren’t on your public IG account: 1- family 2- IVF process, pregnancy announcement etc. 3- pregnancy (the more the merrier) 4- birth 5- recovery, and any other photo that may be fitting for your story.
Recording: it’s done over Zoom with video and audio. An outline, along with helpful recording tips will be provided before the recording day. It helps walk you through the show before hitting record. Most recordings take a little over an hour depending on your story and how much detail you give. Some stories take thirty minutes and others two hours. About one hour is a great sweet spot, but there is no time limit! Feel free to share how you help women and any offer to the audience.
Final Episode: podcasts are published early Monday morning, central standard time. The show is also shared as a stand-alone post on the website in a written story, along with contact information and resources. The week it’s published, it’s also shared on Instagram: six posts are shared telling a little piece of your story each day. Other side stories, advise and resources are shared in stories through the week. You will be tagged on posts and some stories, so feel free to share to your Instagram account.
To Schedule: Contact Jamie through the contact form below, DM on Instagram, or email at ‘jamie at over40fabulousandpregnant.com’ and tell us a little bit about yourself, the age you were pregnant and a little bit about your pregnancy. Scheduling is done through calendly, so you can select what available recording time works best for you.
We can’t wait to share your story!
How do I join your support group and program?
We’re so happy you are interested in 40.40 Society! It opened in January 2024, but we are in the process of dedicating it to just women over 40 who are trying to conceive.
Trying to conceive can be a tough journey, and I want to teach you the tools I learned to have a better trying to conceive experience. I know how hard it is because we tried for almost three years, but I’m pregnant at almost 43! We aren’t taught how to deal with our emotions, and it also gets harder during this time. Join the 6-week program that will teach you the skills to manager your mind. Get help during the program with weekly Q&A’s and feel supported through bi-weekly small support groups. Learn more by clicking the link below, and I can’t wait to see you inside!
What inspired you to start the podcast?
We get this question a lot from people that don’t know our story. The short story is we’ve been trying to conceive since 2021. I’ve been pregnant 4 times. I felt alone and my girlfriends have long been done having children. I didn’t want to hear more stats on risks or percentages of if we can get pregnant over 40! I wanted to create something that I needed. I wanted something I couldn’t find, and there’s only so much connection with social media. I wanted to created a deeper connection with other women like me through podcasting and a community. I wanted to hear stories of what is possible…that knew what I was going through. Something that pushed me towards motherhood. I found this quote I thought was perfect, “I don’t want my pain and struggle to make me a victim. I want my battle to make me someone else’s hero.” You can read the longer version on the ABOUT page or my journey. I’m in the middle of my journey to motherhood… The podcast is for women over 40 trying to conceive or are pregnant over 40.
