I was the same as Valerie M... having a baby at 39 made turning 40 a breeze... turning 30 was tougher for me.
I love being in my 40s... but not really looking forward to the perimenopausal stuff.
Don't you worry, you'll rock 40... it really is the new 30s...

I love 40 at least so far...I think the other ladies covered it well. You know who you are, what you want, what you like, what you need, it makes you feel more peaceful - even if times are not ideal, you realize that you have YOU and that is what counts. Yes, I have to watch what I eat a little more and exercise a little more but I also had two pregnancies in the past 34 months and as a result don't get the kind of sleep I would like...and yet, I am so glad about who I am and how I feel about myself as a role model for my two little girls. My baby turns one in May.

I find that my marriage is stronger now then it has ever been. The kids are older and we can focus on one another, but I feel that really since we have gone through the tough stuff we can stand. Other than that you will be FABULOUS! Oh and maybe need glasses to read!

You are going to realize that you are the COOLEST chick and wonder why you didn't have this attitude about yourself earlier. You don't care as much about what other people think, you stray away from the negatives in life, keep with the positives, you (my own quote) "don't have time for people you don't have time for"....and you realize that you are just at the perfect place right now. Smart enough to know better but young enough to go for it!
It will be great!

Turning 30 was easy for me.. turning 40 was harder. I didn't do a thing..I just wanted it go away! I just had my daughter 2 months before I turn 40.... well, DH was sweet. He cajoled me to get dressed and took the whole gaggle for nice dinner and got me a birthday cake with a question mark candle!LOL!
The next day, everything was back to normal..I didn't die. I am still alive, healthy, happy,mom of two and still loved by my dear husband.. so I reckon it wasn't that bad. I survived turning 40 and since then I stopped counting. I am 47 going on 25! Life goes on. Life is good!

My 30th and 40th were fine. - a breeze in fact. I found turning 35 much more of a panic! Mostly because I hadn't had kids yet and was beginning to think that it wouldn't happen. Then my first came at 38 and my second at 41 and I began to feel that anything was possible!
I think you'll be just fine. Physically, all changes are gradual. The best thing is to be positive. I actually looked forward to my forties and have gone through some re-discovering and re-defining of myself. Despite all the "changes", I do feel a better sense of clarity and better defined purpose. I guess I'm more mature and others treat me that way too. You are what you feel, I guess.
Have a very positive and Happy Birthday!!!

I just turned 44 in March and am very, very proud of my age. Sure, every year that goes by, there's something new going on with my body, but I exercise and watch what I eat, so consequently, I look pretty darn good for my age - thank you very much :) I actually feel like I am in a special club now - the club that knows all about life - for real. Not only am I in my 40's, but my finance is 5 years younger than me. How cool is that? Be very, very proud! You have worked and lived through a lot to get here. My feeling is you're a real woman now, baby! Relish your age and your world. There ain't a 20 year old out there that can compare to a proud 40-something year old woman. No way! They don't have a clue what it means to be a real woman. Enjoy!!

I just turned 41 this month, and last yr's 40 was not that eventful, unless you count getting ready for major back surgery eventful. The last 5 yrs of my 30's were stressfull and painful. Bad back, shoulder surgery, death in family 3 yrs in row, I was ready for my 30's to be over. I had the surgery in June and by the end of the summer, was feeling like my old self again. Still have pain, but nothing like it was before. Looking back on the past 11 years, my 30's sucked purple pee-pee. But so far, 40's aren't too bad. I can and want to have sex again (back pain = no sex) so I kinda feel like I am making up for lost time.lol My biggest complaint is the decrease in metabolism, but was having that prior due to meds/pain. I am actually enjoying walking/exercising again, so maybe I will finally be able to loose the 30lbs that have silently been added.
Will see what 40's bring me.
