Objectives: FORTIES aims at developing a comprehensive approach to the understanding of late fertility, where parental wellbeing is the focal point, and by considering the overall process, from the choice to have a baby to the arrival (or not) of a child. Focusing on mothers and couples aged 35 and over, FORTIES builds around three pillars: i) Different trajectories of parenthood, ii) The experience of delivery, iii) Wellbeing after the birth of the first child.
