Planning for a Baby at 38 in NYC

Pregnancy Healthcare / L&D

Hi everyone,

I’ve been reading through some posts and saw a lot of comments mentioning that NYC has a lot of older parents.

A few questions…
- Are there certain NYC neighborhoods that tend to have more first-time parents in their late 30s or 40s?
- How did you find mom groups, parenting groups, or other parents you could relate to?
- Any recommendations for OB/GYNs for pregnancies at 38+?

Any other tips or things I should know or consider when planning at my age?

Thank you! 😊
