The face of motherhood has changed.

More mothers of preschoolers are in their midthirties and forties than in previous decades. If you're a late-in-life mom, you may not feel old, but you know the medical community's label for a pregnant woman who is over 35: "Advanced Maternal Age." You also know you have unique needs and concerns--medical, emotional, and practical.
