Pregnancy 35+ Refers to Mother's Age, Not Weeks

[Kirstie_MHModerator]

We realize this can be confusing.  This community is intended for mothers and mothers-to-be who are age 35 or older.

If you are not in this age group, you can find women in your age group in the following communities:
Ages 18-24:

Ages 25-34:

Why don't you just actually add the word "ages" like you did here (or something else) to the group name in the app and on web, instead of putting a message here, which not everybody would see. As far as software goes, it's a very easy fix, but you willsave so many confusions and avoid complains.

The iPhone app has been fixed but not android.  Android gets everything last.  :(  And we can keep this bumped, but that's hard to do when show more still doesn't work.

[Kirstie_MHModerator]

Yes, it's been added to the iPhone app.  Hopefully the Android version will update soon as well.

The moderators will do their best to keep this bumped so that it stays visible.

I personally enjoy reading on all 3 age groups.

Fix age and show more! Especially show more, it is super annoying & should have already been taken care of

[Kirstie_MHModerator]

Laura, you are most welcome to read and participate wherever you choose.  This notice is just for those who aren't aware, and wish to connect with other moms their own age.

We're sorry about the app issues, and wish there were a quick and easy fix.  Unfortunately this is sometimes not the case.

Agree! I hope they fix soon! Like I've said, this thread is bombarded with ladies 35weeks or more so it is all about inducing. I comment because they should have people get informative answers but I would love to connect with us "old" women.
Where can we contact the app "fixers" to let them know how annoying it is?

[Kirstie_MHModerator]

Contacting the "fixers" (engineers) would actually be counterproductive.  Do you want them reading and answering 100 emails a day about this issue, or do you want them working on fixing the issue?

Again, not every fix is as quick and easy as it might appear.

[sunkisseddaisey]

would rather them fix it then answer a million emails :)

Don't see what the big deal is.

[Pandatrap]

As a 41 year old first time mom, this issue is quite tedious. Bump, indeed

[EricaMarieNieto]

I thought it was by weeks!!!

[amberbabii93]

I like posting in 35+ weeks because I don't have to constantly read about "baby daddy" drama. Everyone's older and mature

[mumoftwosarah]

I like reading all pages to and getting help and advise, if this is right what page do I join as I am 29 yrs?

Thanks

[lexus0782]

Wish it was by weeks so I didnt have to scroll through so many posts to find posts that relate to what im experiencing.  

[Kirstie_MHModerator]

Sarah, you can find ladies your age in the 25-34 group here:
http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Pregnancy-25-34/show/1503

It appears that most of the confusion is caused by the Android version of the app not showing the word "ages" yet.  I've been told that will be fixed in the next release, though I don't have a date on that yet.

BUMP

[Mel_Singh]

Ya it true 35+ is better advice coz they are all mature lol. but i understand if i was in that age group i would be fustrated

[1momma4chicks]

To us age 35+ moms, this is an important issue & it is a big deal. We are going thru different experiences than younger moms. For instance, some have been dealing with fertility issues for years, or there are those who are going thru their last pregnancy. We are enjoying our pregnancy, no matter our issues. Reading all the-as we see them-negative comments from younger moms to be about how tired they are of their pregnancy is frustrating & sad. We are in a different mindset & all the negativity & drama is not what we want to see. We realize it can be rough-a lot of us have already been there-but your babies will come when they're ready! Think about those of us who have had losses & can't or won't be going through this again, & be grateful you're able to carry your baby to term. Good luck to all the mommies-to-be!!!
