Advanced Maternal Age
Advanced Maternal Age is a podcast hosted by two friends and first time moms, Meredith and Achint, who get real about what it’s like to become and be a mom after 35.
They dive into, fertility, conception, and the unexpected plot twists along the way. The medical acronyms no one ever asked to learn. The glow and the grind of pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and those 3 a.m. newborn trenches.
They also unpack, family expectations and cultural pressures. Society’s loud opinions about “the right time” to have kids and what it means to find your own, unapologetic “mom voice” at any age.
No shame. No sugarcoating. Just honest stories, practical takeaways and plenty of laughter (and maybe a few tears) along the way.
Whether listeners are tracking cycles, cuddling a newborn, navigating loss, or wondering what’s next, this podcast reminds them they’re not alone.
Meredith and Achint are the candid, compassionate co‑pilots guiding listeners through all things AMA.
