After assuming she had entered perimenopause, Alice shares the surreal moment she realized her exhaustion and "flu symptoms" were actually a positive pregnancy test. She opens up about the spiritual signs she received along the way—including a family prediction that had promised a son long before he was conceived—and how she navigated the transition from being a mother of older children to starting over with a newborn.The conversation dives deep into the realities of a later-in-life pregnancy, from managing intense morning sickness to handling the "red flags" and opinions that often come with age. Alice provides a refreshing perspective on birth as a moment of total surrender, explaining why she chose an empowering C-section to prioritize her family's well-being.
