I'm pregnant at 47. It's not how I once pictured things, but it was the right path for me.

• When I first got pregnant at the age of 47, I felt a sense of parental imposter syndrome. 
• I was anxious about being the oldest mom on the playground and wore big clothing to hide my belly.
• Around my sixth month of pregnancy, something changed, and the shame dissipated.

"Wear sensible shoes when you're carrying frozen sperm." Excellent advice...
