About Mothers 35 Plus

Lindsey Harris, 45, created Mothers 35 Plus in June 1998 as a result of a college project, six months after giving birth to her son, Josh. Since the site first went online it has become so popular that it is now a permanent fixture, attracting visitors from all over the world.

Mothers 35 Plus is primarily a UK site, but receives messages from women in many different countries, as well as from educational establishments and the press. Interest increased with Cherie Blair's pregnancy and the subsequent birth of Leo Blair and the topic of 'older mothers' is now very much in the news. Older motherhood continues the generate controversy - both good and bad - making headlines on an almost daily basis.

The success of the site is also due, in large part, to members of the message forums, with many active members from all over the world. These ladies provide on-going support to each other both in times of crisis and non-crises, and many firm friendships have been formed. Regular 'Mothers 35 Plus meet-ups' take place in different parts of the country and the latest (August 2006) was a Mothers 35 Plus camping weekend in Sussex!

Expectant Mothers 35 Plus Preparing for Newborns

Preparing for a new born baby can be very time consuming, with all the antenatal sessions and eating the right food it is important to remember the things that you and your baby will need. One of the most time consuming aspects of this is finding the right products at the right prices. To help with this we have made a shopping list which we hope you find helpful.

First on the list are Car Seats to keep your little tyke safe from harm when you travel. Then we have Cots so that your baby can sleep soundly, but you may want to listen out for them using a Baby Monitor. If you decide to go on holiday you will need some Soft Toys for the baby to play with on the flights and a Pushchair to go out and about with once you get to your destination.

What started out as a hobby has now become a major part of my life. Over the years, Mothers 35 Plus has been a great source of support to many women and that makes it all worthwhile.
