Beyond The Egg Timer

Beyond The Egg Timer A rational and fact based space dedicated to women and men having their first baby over 35. Relax, it's much easier and safer than you think!

We are two good friends that share a passion for helping others. Emma is a public health researcher and Sharon is a Medical and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Emma had her two beautiful girls at ages 35 and 37 and Sharon hopes to be a mother soon. We were talking one night about all of the misconceptions around having children when you are older such as a "fertility cliff" or the prevalence of mi

scarriage and birth defects. We were alarmed by the shaming campaigns targeted at professional women about delaying childbearing. We decided to take action and write a book. MisConception: Real and hopeful stories about conceiving in your mid-thirties and beyond targets the over 21 million women in the US aged 35-44 who want to have a child. It contains narratives of women with divergent experiences--some conceive very easily, others require intervention, a clear explanation of the statistics (they are not as bad as you think), and practical coping advice. This is not a "how to get pregnant book" nor is it an infertility book. We hope this book will empower and inspire you along your journey. We hope that the narratives and factual information help you form your own decisions and timeline. This is not an advice book; we offer other women’s stories so you know that you are not alone and that there is always hope. We dispel myths about “advanced maternal age” so you can make clear, unpressured decisions. We have included some coping techniques that are universally considered helpful in navigating the emotions that naturally accompany life’s challenges. The section on “pregtiquette” will help you through some sticky situations. Lastly, we offer you views from some major world religions about why some conceive easily and others don't as that may be important to you. We were offered the opportunity to share this information on a Psychology Today blog http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/beyond-the-egg-timer and also tweet . We are currently seeking representation for our book.

I normally don't do "days" or "weeks" (i.e maternal health week or daughter's day). However, in service of two amazing opportunities for women in their 40's and 50's, I am honoring World Menopause Day with sharing:
1. Thriving Through Perimenopause self paced course. Samantha Dowd and I created this to help you through the sleep, memory, and emotional issues of the 10 year journey to menopause--it can start in your alte 30s! Yes, you are still getting a period during this time. Hint: if you went to high school or college with me, you are in it!
2. Time For Women. Erin Hodge-Williams created this
speaker series for women over 40. The next one is Oct 30, and I'm honored to be the speaker. Links for both in the comments. Please share!

Is this your experience ? Perhaps, you are a full time just trying to find space for yourself? Take a morning off just for you. Our Reconnect To Nature Mini-Retreat is designed for busy women just like you! We still have spaces left for this Friday, July 21, August 11, and August 25. Each session stands on its own so no need to come to all if that is not possible. The retreat is held at Basignani Winery in Sparks, MD from 9:15-10:30am. You don't need to reorganize your whole life to get some space and time for you.
