OLIVEIRA, Sara; ARAUJO, Lia  e  RIBEIRO, Oscar. Late pregnancy in the last child and its impact on developmental trajectories. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.72, n.2, pp. 75-87. ISSN 1809-5267.  http://dx.doi.org/10.36482/1809-5267.arbp2020v72i1p.75-87.

This study focuses on the experience of late motherhood (35+ years) and its implications in the phase of advanced age, particularly in personal and family trajectories. It is a qualitative study of 15 dyads composed by older women who were late mothers and their last children. Results highlight the presence of several health risks, emotional distress and social judgments of late pregnancy. About family dynamics, challenges were mentioned by the overlapping of distinct stages of the life cycle (caring for small and teenage children vs. demands of middle age), and, currently, by the (in)capacity to take care of grandchildren. Children experienced several concerns related to their parent's caregiving, a demanding task that is perceived as happening too early in their developmental trajectories.
