Over 40 Fabulous and Pregnant
Over 40 Fabulous and Pregnant Podcast is the ultimate podcast for women over 40 who are trying to conceive or are pregnant. Typical episodes are one woman's journey over 40 years old from TTC, pregnancy, birth and postpartum every other Monday. We laugh, cry, share a little TMI and openly talk about the ones we lost.
Prepare to feel empowered trying to conceive, believe pregnancy is possible over 40, relate to other women's struggles, be educated about how women get pregnant, feel like over 40 isn't too old to have a baby, embrace 'advanced maternal age', and ditch outdated expectations.
Hosted by Jamie Massey who also shares her own journey to motherhood of almost three years. She became a mother at 43 using donor eggs. She has had seven pregnancies and continues to share her journey.

091. Neesha shares her incredible transformation from receiving a "cold" post-menopausal diagnosis to becoming a mother at 44. After being told she had a 10% chance of conceiving naturally due to stage 4 endometriosis—and later experiencing a full year without a cycle—Neesha refused to let a clinical diagnosis be the end of her story. She walks us through the emotional and physical hurdles of navigating complex medical news and the pivotal decision to pursue motherhood through donor eggs, proving that the path to a family is rarely a straight line but always worth the journey.
Neesha’s story is a powerful testament to resilience and the importance of finding the right support when the medical system feels dismissive. We dive deep into the realities of life with stage 4 endometriosis, the transition into the donor egg process, and the joy of finally welcoming her daughter in Edmonton, Alberta. Whether you are currently facing a daunting fertility diagnosis or are curious about the donor egg path, Neesha’s transparency and triumph offer a roadmap of hope and a reminder that motherhood is possible even when the odds seem stacked against you.
