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.

In this episode, we’re talking all about… getting a doula!
You’ve heard the word, you’ve seen it on birth blogs, your crunchy friend swears by hers, but what actually is a doula, and why did we decide to bring one into our birth and postpartum journeys.
Think of this episode as Doula 101 with a side of real-life chaos and laughter.
We’re breaking down: why we chose a doula in the first place, spoiler alert: it wasn’t because we wanted essential oils and birth affirmations (though we’ll take those, too). What a doula actually does (and doesn’t do), how a doula supports both mom and dad and birth vs. postpartum doula care.
Hit play to hear why having someone to “mother the mother” might just be one of the best decisions you can make for your birth and/or postpartum journey.
