It’s no secret that women are becoming mothers later in life, yet some feel it is frowned upon—especially by those in the medical field.
Recently, Ana, from San Fernando Valley, California, shared a TikTok video of herself with a filter that covered her skin with fine lines, making her appear older than she is.
The text layered over the video explained how her doctor made her feel. It read: “POV – you’re 31 weeks pregnant [and about] to turn 35, and your doctor says, ‘We might need to schedule your delivery due to your advanced maternal age.'”
Newsweek spoke to IT Program Manager Ana, who recently turned 35, about her video, which has over 815,000 views and was shared to @wabi_sabi818.
