You have heard of the biological clock the limited amount of time women have to have a baby. But every day, more and more women are pushing back the hands of time and waiting longer to have babies.
Welcome to oh baby! Fitness, a special gym that focuses on the fitness of pregnant women and those who have just had a baby. It is not strange seeing at least one woman who is reaching her 40s, or is 40 and over in each class.
According to the center for disease and control the rate of pregnant women 40 years or older has increased 2% yearly since the year 2000. In the United States, the average birthing age for women has increased in the last four years.
The founder of this gym was 37 years old herself when she first had a baby. She had this idea after realizing there weren't any gyms for pregnant women in her area now, there are 40 gyms in 13 different states around the country.
These women do not regret their decisions; in fact, it is the total opposite. Most of them feel more confident at having their babies at this age. And the importance of this gym is not only the physical portion - but the emotional support the group gets from other women going through it together.
More and more mothers are now considering this, and the scare of being a "Late mom" is not that elevated anymore.
