One important clarification ... Near the end of the video I say the phrase "Start our family." This is actually a phrase I dislike and didn't intend to use. We started our family on the day we were married! Even if we never had children, that doesn't make us any less of a family! What I wish I said was "Expand our family."

My mom was 40 when she first started having kids, she ended up having 4. She's now a Grandma at 65 years old. I NEVER as a kid was upset, embarrassed, or even noticed she was older. Know your worth as a mom. You are just as worthy to be a mom as a young 20 something year old.

literally, crying watching this vid..we went through the same struggles of 14 yrs of infertility..after several cycles of failed ivf, we got our miracle! just when we thought we missed the baby boat, we got pregnant naturally! im due to give birth this month, June 2020!

We had 13 years of infertility. Then one day I skipped my period. Twins!! I have a similar story on my channel.

My mum had me at 46 years old and now she's 80 waiting for me to have a baby at 34 😔 I only noticed that my mum had me at an older age when kids would ask me if she was my grandma but I never felt ashamed because I was so full of pride and love that she was my mum. The same will happen with you. 🙏 You are a great storyteller, God Bless ❤

I’m 35 and found out I’m 6 weeks yesterday. For so long I thought I couldn’t have children. I am crying tears of joy with you!! Bless you and all your family. ☺️☺️

I'm 38 and after 3 years of secondary infertility I found out Monday I am pregnant!! We didn't do anything different this cycle so I was in shock and still am!! Only in Gods timing. Prayers we both have a healthy pregnancy and healthy baby.

Congratulations! My mother was 40 when she had me and she always said having me is what kept her young. My dad was much older than my mother... age 53. They gave me a wonderful childhood! ❤️

I had 9 loses before I had my first child. I am now 10 weeks pregnant with our 4th and final child. God is amazing! Congratulations! 🎉

I was told so many times I couldn’t have kids. So my boyfriend and I gave up, 8 weeks and 3 days later we found we are pregnant. Now we are 24 weeks pregnant. Never give up.

Years ago I worked with a young lady who had finally made the decision to have a hysterectomy at the recommendation of her doctor. She & her husband had given up of ever becoming pregnant after years of gynecological issues. On the day of her scheduled surgery she found out she was pregnant. She has 2 healthy boys now.

My cousin was single for many years and finally met and settled down with someone when she was in her 40s, having been told that getting pregnant would require fertility treatment, she stopped trying and accepted that it just wasn't her story. They were then shocked by a surprise pregnancy and had a beautiful baby boy. Doctors don't know everything, only God does. Congratulations! Please give us an update on your first trimester!

Congratulations u r glowing, I'm 23 years trying , still praying for our miracle,I'm 42 yrs , but I just dont wana give up hope ♥️

Pcos, endometriosis, scarred right Fallopian tube to the point it was rendered useless, AND I was on birth control to ease the cysts on my ovaries. God’s got a sense of humor it seems 🤣❤️ my babygirl was born on March 15th with a little foot shaped birthmark square in between her shoulder blades. We joke that she got kicked straight out of heaven😂 I just found your channel hun, but I’m praying you and your little one have the BEST and safest pregnancy and delivery❤️

My mother had me at 44 years old, and my brother when she was 47 I love my parents so much, they have always had so many experiences to share with my brother and I, and we grew up learning from people who had seen and been through so much, I'm so grateful for them and when they choose to have my brother and I, you will be a fantastic mother!

I have a 9-month-old beautiful baby girl. She is my first child and I gave birth at 41. I am so happy I had her at this point in my life. I wish you the same amount of joy and happiness I am experiencing.

CONGRATULATIONS!! My mom is 42 and just had a baby last month, and such a funny coincidence was that the doctor that delivered her baby was in the same situation. He asked my mom if it was her first and she said, "No I already have two girls this was a surprise", and he said his mom also had a surprise baby at 42 and him and his brother got a new sister.

I just turned 40 and I'm 6 weeks pregnant. My doctor diagnosed with with subchorionic hematoma and I'm on full bed rest now. It's such a scary moment. Praying to God for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby!

I’m almost 40 years old, for me and my husband was a big surprise that we got pregnant, we were not even trying. God knows the right time , I’m 24 weeks pregnant and because of that we have been busy thinking about the baby and not focusing in the pandemic situation, we live in Australia.

“God has impeccable timing” that really stuck with me. He gave you a child to grow you family with, after you accepted that you can be okay without a child and you still stuck with his plan for you. That is beautiful.

This is exactly what happened to me! First child at 41, second at 44. The best thing that ever happened to me! My best advice? Take time and enjoy your baby. Don't worry so much about being perfect, having the perfect house and life. Love and be happy!

My boyfriend's mum had him when she was 46 years old! He is the best and his parents are awesome! It is never late 💕

Your story is my story, your emotions are also my emotions, your experiences is my life, this is my 8th year of infertility and youhave spike a hope in me at age 35,thank you so much .

After 12 years of infertility, I finally was able to move on and be thankful for what I have in life without being a mom. I have peace and am ok with not having a child. I hope for everyone else struggling with infertility that you too may be at peace and that you may be okay with the path god has you on whether that comes with children or not. Blessings.

So beautiful. I broke up with my bf last night and the only thing that was holding me back from ending the relationship was that I wanted to have a child next year. I am 36 now so the possibility of having a child is always in my mind. I decided to allow God give me the opportunity to be a mum when I find the right person. This vedio just showed up from nowhere because I needed it. Thank you.

Congrats to you! Wishing you a wonderful and healthy pregnancy. ❤️ My husband and I have been together for 19 years and have been trying to have a baby through the years, was told I might never have children because of PCOS. Last year I got pregnant right before my 36th birthday and it was a complete shock. I was at a really good place in my life mentally, emotionally and physically and God gave me this gift. I’m due July 22nd with a baby boy. 💙

"Great is thy faithfulness" 💗💗💗

Congratulations and Amen. 53 and trying to hold on to the promise of God.

I’m so happy for you! After years of secondary infertility, I had a baby at 42, we had given up and moved on. She is my gift from God. I wish you a wonderful pregnancy

I believe my mother-in-law was 42 when she was pregnant with my husband. She had to have hormone supplements and things to help the pregnancy be strong. I’m SO glad she kept trying and worked to have a healthy baby! I know my husband has brought her so much joy.

When God closes one door in your face he opens other doors and this is the perfect example ❤ I wish you and your family a long happy life

Just had a missed miscarriage at 9 weeks. I’m turning 39 in 2 days. I was worried about my fertility because all the literature says every year you’re less likely to achieve a healthy pregnancy. I was so sad, upset & kept asking myself why this is happening to me. Unfortunately this is the 2nd time. Your video just popped up in my feed. Congratulations! This is a good reminder it’s all in Gods timing, not mine. Thanks for sharing your story❤️

I am crying tears of Joy. I know what you went through. We just celebrated 7 years of marriage 3 weeks ago. After 3 fibroid surgeries 1 miscarriage we still don't have a baby. But after seeing your video I know that God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly that I could ask or even imagine. Praise God Praise God Praise God. So happy for your guys. If He can do it for you. He WILL do it for me. May God bless this pregancy and this family

I recently found out that I might never be able to carry a a child, I’m only 24 but me and my fiancé are devastated, people have even told him not to marry me. This gives me so much hope, that maybe one day it will happen for me. Thanks for sharing 🙏 congratulations and all the best to you and your family!

Thank you! I'm 40 and have been on this journey for 6 years. I specifically searched for this very story. I'm in tears hearing you encourage because some days are perfect and some (few) are excruciating thinking it will never for us. So, thank you!

Your story is so so relatable. We married in 2004, went off birth control in 2007. One big difference is that we did pursue fertility treatment. We faced 3 failed IUIs, 4 failed IVFs, and later on, 3 miscarriages. Then, God said “Surprise!” We are expecting our miracle baby, due Sept 2020! Huge congratulations to you and your husband. 💙

I wanna encourage you guys to actually pray for someone when you say you will. I know for myself, I was quick to say “I’ll pray for you” or “prayers coming your way” etc etc but I never really did. When I realized that, I promised myself that I would ALWAYS keep my word and pray for that person. Give it a try, it only takes a few seconds to say a prayer for this person.

This is awesome! My mom was 43 when I was born after years of infertility (10 I think). I know that you will love your child forever! Thank you for reminding me of my lovely parents!

Thank you for sharing. I’m 35 and don’t know whether I’m still fertile or not because I’ve never tried to have a baby. As the time passes, I get more and more nervous about waiting to have children even though I so badly want them at some point in my life. There are many reasons for me right now that I feel that it isn’t the time for me to have a child. Though our stories aren’t the same, your story and so many people I’ve now know who get pregnant at 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 give me hope that even though I’m choosing to wait now, it can still be something that happens as I get older.

Congratulations!!! Your story reminds me so much like my own. My husband and I were married for 10 years before God blessed us with our little boy. We had been told by 4 different doctors that we wouldn’t be able to have children naturally we would need medical intervention. Like you we felt that was not the path God had for us. We also had the questions of when we were going to have kids. We had all the unsolicited advice on how to have kids. I was devastated with every negative pregnancy test. I was angry at my friends and family who seemed to get pregnant I easily. I felt that it wasn’t fair. I didn’t talk to anyone about my feelings. It caused problems in my marriage. We had suffered a lot of loss and heartache along with the infertility. We lost my husbands grandparents who helped raise him, a few years later his mother unexpectedly and then months later his aunt who we were close to. After many trials/heartache/tears we took time to focus on just us. We moved and he took a job offshore. During this time I remember one painful night of my cycle I had to get out of bed I was so miserable. I remember crying out to God and telling him I was done trying and being crushed. If it was meant for us to have a family he was going to have to make a way. I was ready to talk to my dr about permanent measures to end my cycle. I was tired of being miserable each month & heartbroken at the same time. Motherhood was all I wanted. After a couple of months of hubs being off shore I was late again. I was afraid to hope and dream so I kept it to myself. I even experienced some early symptoms that can also be period symptoms so I just assumed my cycle was getting ready to start (for 4 weeks). I was too afraid to hope but at this point I was 5 weeks late which wasn’t all the unusual for me. Knowing my husband was going back offshore Mother’s Day Sunday 2013 I helped him pack up and watched him drive off before I ran to Walmart. I couldn’t help but wonder and I needed answers. If it was negative I would be the only one crushed. Even though it was afternoon when I tested and I couldn’t wait any longer. I didn’t even get to finish using the bathroom & wash my hands before it popped positive. I was immediately crying! I called my husband and sent him a picture of the test. He was just as excited but also just a wary. I followed up the next morning with my PCP and was given a due date. I was 6 weeks along by that point. Now we have a happy healthy 6 year old! Sorry for the long post. I wish I would have found someone to talk to during those 10 years of infertility. I love seeing other’s who have faced infertility as well being blessed with their miracle babies like myself. Like you said God has his own timing. I firmly believe that. Love and prayers for you during this time!

My mom had me at 40 and we always say that I am really smart because I took all her knowledge since she had me older than other people would normally do

I needed this so much tonight. Almost 40 and have finally given up. Thank you ❤

Reading these comments and watching this video is making me feel hopeful. I'm on the edge of 40 and our entire marriage has been a journey of struggles just trying to get our careers going. Bad luck afterbadluck and we never decided to try for children because we wanted to have that part of our life set. Fast forward and I've kept saying that it's OK, I don't need to be a parent. Deep down any pregnancy news I hear does sting even though I'm "ok". Maybe there is hope.

We went through the same struggle 11 years later at 40 baby girl in 2019

My son was born March 20, 2020. During the thick of the COVID pandemic. A crazy time to have a baby, but we waited for him after 2 years of trying and 4 miscarriages. He’s our greatest blessing. God bless you!

I literally turned 40 yesterday. I have no idea how your video came up into my KZfaq feed, but I mist tell you it was ABSOLUTELY beautiful! I could not contain my tears of joy for you and your family! God isn’t is SO FAITHFUL!!!!! ❤️🙏🏾 Thank you for sharing your testimony! It will continue to bless many!

I’m 75 and my children are 29 and 31. My daughter has a 3 year old and a newborn. It’s hard for me because I’m now in a wheelchair. I always pictured playing with my grandchildren in the park running around! I can’t be the grandmother I would like to be but see them often and show tons of love to them. They make me so happy.

38 here just finally found the love of my life who is 32! He and I are about to start trying. This video tells me I’m not too late. Just subscribed so I can follow your encouraging journey 🥰

Huge congratulations, I'm 38 & we just had our surprise baby after 13 years of trying to have a baby, then accepting it wasn't going to happen & we were happy with our family. 13 years of not preventing and suddenly we found ourselves pregnant. Best bit was holding our precious little miracle baby x congratulations x

This is so beautiful! I am 33, I will be 34 in a few weeks. After 13 years of marriage and 8 of those years without any contraceptives we have never conceived 😞. My husband and I went through our college years together and have good careers, but as of recently we got more serious with trying to conceive and getting down to the bottom of why that hasn’t happened over the last 8 years. In January 2020 I was told I would never have kids outside of IVF that news crushed our world and dreams. After an HSG we were told both of my tubes were blocked. From there they suggested removing both tubes and proceeding with IVF...I just couldn’t 100% agree to that at least not without a second opinion. We went to a Fertility specialist (we initially went to a IVF specialist) and she suggested a laparoscopy to truly see what’s going on. During my Laparoscopy they had to remove one tube but the other one was just blocked but otherwise fine. They unblocked that tube and we have to wait 6 weeks before trying to conceive!!! But I am tearfully happy!!! My parents are so ready to be grandparents! And I am so ready to be a mom and my husband, a dad! This video has really increased our hope!!! Congratulations!

I had a surprise pregnancy at 40. God is so awesome and amazing, He blessed me with a healthy pregnancy and a beautiful, funny, talented daughter. Congrats. I am happy to stumble on your page.

Congratulations ive just turned 47 and would love a baby you given me hope

Awesome! My mom had me at 40 and now I'm in my early 20's... never too late!

I don’t know you and I never went through infertility, but you seem like such a genuine sweet person. I’m happy for you and your family.

I had PCOS, failed IVF, fertility drugs,adopted 2 children, then had a surprise pregnancy at 40. I understand your surprise

Thank you for your inspiration. I'm turning 40 in August and my husband and I are starting our second round of IVF. I will be doing an egg retrieval the first week on July. I've been losing hope that we will have a child because I feel my fertile window is closing quickly for me due to my age but its story like this like your story that give me hope I can do this at 40+. My God continue to bless you and your husband.

It's a beautiful thing! God makes everything beautiful in HIS time. Blessings

Congratulations!! My youngest daughter is also expecting her first baby at 35 in the middle of a pandemic so not the ideal time but it has brought such joy and excitement into our lives so that is something! Good luck!!

I turn 39 this month and just started my 2nd trimester.God is so good. I thought it would even be an option but we will have a baby in our arms in December. I'm still in shock. Thank you for sharing your story.

It’s really important not to harp on your friends to have kids, you just never know what they’re going through ❤️. I always try to be sensitive and know not everyone will do the same things I do, and it’s God’s timing not mine.

Wow God bless!! I am 23 years old and it’s amazing to see how much God works!! In Isaiah 55:8, he says “ for my thoughts are nothing like your thoughts and my ways are far beyond anything that you could imagine”... He really meant that! We serve a God who is confident in his character and confident of all his promises! When we pray, he promises that he hears us... when we pray, He promises that whatever we ask in his name, is ours!! I believed God knew your desires and heard them but was preparing you for spiritual growth ! There’s nothing God can’t do! He comes at the last minute and rescues us! Your faith and belief, even when you thought you had none left is what grabbed his attention all these 12 years!! You continued to trust in Him and His plans and for that he has rewarded you!! Congratulations! All glory to Him always! May God bless you and use you as a vessel to propel His Kingdom!! Congrats again so happy for you!!

Oh my goodness, I can relate to you a little. I didn’t think I would get pregnant at this point either (I have always wanted kids). I am 41 and I also took a pregnancy test in March when I was late just to show that I was not pregnant. I am due on December 10th. Congratulations!

I'm crying. I was given the diagnoses of unexplained secondary infertility almost 5 years ago. I just turned 35 and I know I'll probably never have the money for IVF. I've been very depressed about the idea that I'll never have more. This gives me hope.

Ahh this is great! I just realised I found this a year late so you will have your child by now but still, congratulations! My mum had me when she was 41, I am her only child (though she did have 3 miscarriages before me). Unfortunately, she has early-onset alzheimer's now which is awful because I'm only 23 and we started noticing it when I was 18. But she has been an amazing mother and her age doesn't bother me. I love her more than anything and I'm so grateful she was the one to bring me into this world. I am extremely happy for you!! Never too late to expand your family, this is just the beginning of a beautiful lifetime ahead with your child

This video pop up on my timeline. I’m 5 days late and nerves about taking a test. I been diagnose with block fallopian tub about 7-8 years ago. You video brings me hope

Congratulations! I was riveted listening to your story having been through similar circumstances myself. One of my best friends didn’t marry until age 43, and had her first child at age 45; her baby girl is remarkably perfect and 3 months old now. God really can work miracles. ✝️❤️😊

Thank you SO much for sharing your story. I found my self at 28, unwed, pregnant and scared. I placed that amazing baby boy for adoption 13 years ago. I went on to get married 11 years later. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years now and I am really struggling with not being able to get pregnant now. I am 41 and would really love to be a mother and am having a really hard time with not being able to get pregnant now. Thank you for sharing your story. It gives me SO much HOPE!!!

I thank you for this video. I am 45 and haven't had a child 18 years of marriage. I am still waiting. God bless you. Enjoy the journey. Congratulations on the addition to your family.

I had my first Baby at 39 after 9 years of trying through ICSI but sadly lost her at 34 weeks due to placenta issues. Her healthy rainbow brother was born 2 and half years later. I‘m now 45 and look like I‘m in my early 30‘s. People often ask about our plans regarding more kids and are in utter disbelieve that I‘m way to old for another baby already 🙈 I always wished for three kids though 😢

Thank you for sharing your story. It was a true inspiration to me. I am 40yrs old going on 41 in this month of June and 13yrs of marriage and we've been trying since we got married. Had 2 IFV with both times miscarried, but still trusting and believing that nothing is impossible with God. I pray that you have a healthy beautiful pregnancy.

I'm still waiting. 8years now. It was so hopeful n motivating to watch this in order to hold on our hope n faith.

I have been unable to get pregnant for the past 10 years with 1 to 2 periods a year. I started praying for my reproductive system in February and I’ve had 4 periods just in these 6 months of 2020. God is so good. So faithful. Prayer is our weapon!

I am so encouraged by your story. My husband and I have struggled with infertility and also walked through 3 miscarriages. So hearing stories like yours has encouraged me to start speaking out on KZfaq's platform after years of silently struggling on my own. Thanks so much for sharing again and I cant wait for the videos to come!😉💜🙏

Im so glad that this video came up in my recommended. Everything is always done in God’s timing

We struggled with infertility for 6 1/2 years and now we are blessed with 3 beautiful little girls! This makes my heart happy to see God bless couples with children! Congratulations and you will be in my prayers

I was lucky, and didn't struggle with infertility, but I just wanted to say that I had also given up on being a mom (I didn't meet my husband until I was 37). I had my first daughter at 39, and my second at 40 - both beautiful, healthy babies. Good luck, and God bless!

God Bless 💗💗 Me and my husband have been together for 12 years and have not gotten pregnant yet. We always wanted children. I still keep god in my heart everyday and always positive energy. God bless you and your family 💗

I have _three_ friends who all got naturally pregnant (accidentally on purpose) all age 40+. That’s three times of me nearly peeing with happiness for each of them 🤣 Also, your accent is so gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your story with the world. 🖤

Your story made me cry a lot. My wife and I have been married for almost 7 years, with 5 years of infertility. We're just praying to God and hoping the miracle happen soon, please pray for us. God bless your family!

I am in awe of how similar our journey has been. I’m also 44. I’ve also gone through the millions of emotions and grieving over the last 20 years. I stumbled across your video because my husband and I decided to give it one last go. We believe in God’s word, His promises, and His timing. You can’t possibly imagine the questions I have now! I am so happy you’ve finally received your blessings!

Tears are running down my face. Husband is 40 and I'm 37, we have been trying for three years, 2 losses, unexplained infertility. We are starting to feel like it's not going to happen and we are actually OK. Gut punches here and there with pregnancy announcements from friends, but we are in a great place in life and only wish for the same result as your sweet story. Thank you for the hope, thank you for the inspiration, for the reminder it's in His timing...God bless! 😍❤

My mom had me at 41 (as a single mother) I know there is like a 50% chance of a child being Down syndrome or having health problems, etc due to age but I came out perfectly healthy. I thank God for blessing me with an amazing wise mother who never gave up and worked so hard just to support the both of us. ♥️

The same year I got married 2004 wow, you are blessed, my marriage didn't work because of not having child in 2007, after three years I was in lot of stress from my ex- husband side that ride my marriage off...your story touch me..I'm single until now and no child, I pray God will do miracle as he did to you...stay blessed and congratulation millions times

So happy for you! I had a miscarriage at 23yo. Now I'm 28 and still nothing. But I know God has it's time for everything. God bless! :)

My story of infertility is very different. I know 💯 that I’ll never be able to get pregnant naturally. When I was 9 I had to have my ovaries removed...There will always be sadness mixed with happiness for me, when hearing of others becoming pregnant. It’s definitely very hard to deal with.

I cried when you talked about others. So hard.I'm so sincerely happy for you

Your beautiful story brought tears to my eyes. My husband and I tried for 6 years, suffered through a heartbreaking miscarriage, tried IVF which failed then got pregnant naturally with our surprise miracle from God. Today we have the most perfect and beautiful 8 month old baby boy that gets into every and everything. He is amazing!! When God does something, He does it well. I pray for a continued healthy and happy pregnancy. God bless 🙏🏾🙏🏾

This was such a wonderful and encouraging video, I cried. That part about giving hope versus making you sad if struggling is so important in creating my own miracle. Blessings to you and your family!

❤️❤️❤️ What an amazing story! I’m so happy KZfaq recommended this video today. Praying for a fantastic pregnancy for you!

My mom had my brother when she was 42 she never thought of it and it's the best thing that ever happened to her after losing her son I'm so happy for you and I hope everything goes well

Thank you so much for sharing this story of hope! After 5 years of infertility we are drained emotionally and physically. I'm 44 but still hoping for our rainbow baby ❤️❤️ blessings to your family

God’s timing is truly impeccable and it was so amazing to see how happy your family was when you all announced your blessing. God bless you and thank you for sharing this spark of hope for those like myself that needed to hear it. I am inspired and will continue to keep the faith 💛

It will go so fast,you can't even imagine😘I am 32 weeks pregnant and I don't want it to end because it is so damn beautiful 😘

This is by far the best "finding out I'm pregnant" story! I'm 42 and have been trying to conceive for just 6 months and nothing yet. My age has caused so much worry and anxiety. I have struggled with my faith and have been debating on taking the next step with fertility treatments. I recently decided to leave it in Gods hands. I put away ovulation kits and I'm trying to just enjoy the blessings I have. I sure have learned a big lesson on patience. My faith remains because I know God will guide me through this. I'm so happy for you and your husband. There are so many videos on women getting pregnant their first month trying and they are truly blessed but your story gives women like myself so much hope ❤

We’ve been trying for 4 years, I’m so happy for you! 🖤 sending you so much love!

My best friend was infertile with her husband and not on birth control for 16 years. At 42 she had an incredible surprise. She had quit gluten after getting a diagnosis of celiac disease. After an adjustment period she found out holy moly. I’m having a baby. She now has a beautiful four year old daughter after her step children and her firstborn were between the ages of twenty three and thirty-six. Her stepdaughter has a pair of thirteen year old identical twin boys and a daughter (I think) around 8. So those grandchildren now have an auntie younger than all three. Congratulations on your happy news!!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I’m so glad I came across your story. ❤️10 years of infertility for us. This is amazing!

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your story. I'm 36 and my husband and I tried for a baby for 9 years. We also decided not to go through any fertility treatments and had become comfortable with the idea that it might just be the 2 of us. Now I'm 34 weeks pregnant with a baby girl! She's our miracle baby. When I think back at everything we've been through, she honestly couldn't be coming at a better time for us. Sometimes these things just have a way of working out.

Congratulations, your story is so uplifting. Moral of the story is to have hope. We need to hang on to hope in these times. I’ll be praying for you. ❤️

When you’re emotions came through that’s what really made me watch this video. So real and a lovely story .
