More mothers over 40 are experiencing intense hormonal shifts. These changes can lead to a variety of symptoms that impact daily life.
Jennifer Havey became a mother at 44. After her son was born in 2024, she encountered unexpected symptoms. Mood swings and sudden bouts of crying were frequent. Brain fog made her misplace her phone. Sleep issues arose occasionally. These experiences seemed typical due to caring for a newborn and breastfeeding.
Havey expected these symptoms to improve after her son’s first birthday. She stopped nursing, anticipating relief from mood swings, mental cloudiness, and intermittent sleeplessness.
