i was 38. Easy pregnancy, one single bout of morning sickness.
Over 20 hours to deliver though, no meds. I was happy then too, just exhausted.

Healthy, beautiful, peaceful baby.
I had great circumstances. No money worries, a caring partner. No health problems.

I suggest reading Mother Mysteries to learn a lot about the feelings and inner life women experience. It is psychologically accurate in many ways. It is like being in a roiling ocean far from shore, forces beyond your control, no certainty of where or if you will land on the other side.
We are just like you, but luckier.
As long as we aren’t living in a country full of dicks who think their role is to oppress and rule, rather than share, care, and be brave.
