Congrats to her. My aunt is pregnant with her first child at 48. She is dùe in December. Most of my family members got pregnant in their late forties because they wanted to finish higher education and establish a career first before babies. All their kids are healthy.
Congrats to your aunt! It makes sense to me to plan for a pregnancy somewhat later in life, when women have established themselves financially, achieved many of their career goals, & are ready to shift their focus to a child. Many blessings to your aunt & the family she's creating!!

After 15 rounds of IVF I finally got pregnant at 44. She is a miracle & I am so grateful every single day for her existence. People can get judgy about the age & downsides of being older but all I see are good things. We worked hard & have been blessed with a comfortable life. I am so content, I make myself sick
Wow. I’m 42 and just started IVF a month ago. First egg retrieval I had 6 eggs, but zero blastysists. I understand it’s gonna take several rounds but your journey is incredible. You never gave up. That’s awesome. But I can’t imagine being able to afford that. Must’ve cost hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Children are not a commodity. You don’t have a right to children. More embryos (a human life) are killed every year through IVF than abortion. This practice is evil and selfish. If you can’t have children naturally, then carry your cross. You are not owed children. This practice has led to so many evils including a” one parent child”. Children have a right to be raised by a mother and a father. We need to put an end to this evil practice.
My beloved late Mother gave birth to me at age 46. I was born in September of 1988. It was more rare then. THREE different obstetricians advised her and my Father to terminate me, claiming it was too dangerous. My devoutly Catholic parents refused. My Mother told me I was a smooth, easy, healthy delivery. 🖤
I had my baby at age 32 and people were saying that I am older already and I should have my baby much earlier. Well now you can start at 44 and it is ok. Love it.
What does a career have to do with a family. I swear you forties women are a mystery. I'm in my 20s married with two and planning for many more. Never thought I needed a career for babies as that isn't how they are made.

You honestly think if the dude was as rich as she is that he would be screwing around with her? These women are always with dudes who are not even remotely as wealthy as they are.
My grandmother had my dad at 40 & my uncle at 44 in the early 1950s. My aunt (their older sister) and my grandmother were pregnant at the same time twice. 😊
@@brittanyb5942excuse me. You might want to think on that a bit. It was probably one of her daughter’s illegitimate child she raised as her own. That happened A TON back then. 50 is CRAZY. There was no ivf back then.
For some women you don’t find the right one in your 20’s and 30’s but later in your 40’s. People need to get over it. As long as you’re having a period it is possible. I don’t see them telling Robert De Niro, he’s too old to be having kids
Women who have their kids young can't imagine having them later in life and women who have them later in life can't imagine having them earlier. Both are not wrong.
Women who have kids young will never be able to take up a proper career later in life. or make money. The corporate world is cruel. It is better to take on a career in your youth and take up motherhood later.
Being Mom after 40's is the best thing, because you have more patience. And well done for Gisele Bundchen👏 Why only men can move on and create a new family?! She is living life and making sure she's happy, not being stuck in an unhappy marriage. Life is too short to be unhappy.
My mom had 6 children from age 39 to 46. She had two twin pregnancies (I am a twin). All her pregnancies were healthy and we all turned out fine. She is now 74 and a grandmother to three kids that my sister has. She is still healthy and married to my dad who is 77 years old.

@@biancam2327 A lot of men are low-caliber and never even get moving in life, much less have the chance to "hit" a wall. You have to actually be moving to hit something.

dont you dare compare yourself to these ladies....they have 24 hour paid care for diapers, cleaning and everything else. while they spa, dine, travel and relax.
But all these rich famous beautiful women have found a young man after 40 to have a baby with, the same could happen for these average looking not rich nor famous women surely couldn’t it?
I just wish celebrities were more honest about how they got pregnant so much later in life. 1 in 6 couples face fertility issues. I was 33 when I found out I had diminished ovarian reserve. All I can say is women should check their fertility periodically and if possible invest in doing egg retrievals so that they don’t feel the pressure to have babies soon.
Egg retrieval is unrealistic & completely uncontrollable in this climate with unstable men setting policies that don't look out for the health of women.
This idea that women delay having children because they're working on their careers is a stereotype that persists. I'm an educated woman and don't know a single woman who has delayed motherhood for this reason. The problem is finding a suitable partner. Fewer men want to be fathers these days, and many of those who do still expect the woman to be junior partner in the relationship (moving to where he wants to live, doing things on his timeline, considering him the smart one even when he is average at best). For educated women who want to be mothers, it's a sad state of affairs.
@asdkrasere23 That is false. I guess it depends on where you live and the social circle you move in. I met my husband while studying in Europe. He is French. Europe has been ahead of America culturally for decades. European men are much better husbands. They understand equality a lot more and are better educated. You sound like you are surrounded by uneducated midwestern conservative men.
YES. Thank you. I gave birth later in life, but not because I purposely put it off. Also, if I had married at age 25 like many of my friends, my husband would have been a scruffy 19-year-old college dropout (thankful I met him later).
@@asdkrasere23 you don’t need a partner to have a child. Sure it may not be ideal, but it’s possible. I think the only sad state of affairs as you put it would be to have a relationship like you describe it. So sorry. My mom raised me as a single parent when my father suddenly died after she gave birth to me in her late 40’s. This was over 50 years ago. She already had three much older children, but she worked hard and raised me on her own without a lot of help. I would have had a child on my own without any partner if my husband was anything like you described. In fact, I would have tossed him a long time ago, as I have no patience to be with someone who has the kind of expectations you describe. I definitely had children later in life and to some extent it was due to my career, but it was also to make sure that was what I really wanted. I would have done this with or without a partner. Of course, I have been truly blessed that my mom, has always been there to make those choices so much easier for me and my spouse has always tried his best to do this as well.
it still counts as a delay due to a career because uneducated/lower SES women have children as young as 16,19,or even 24 while a lot of women are building their career. even finishing college is building a career.
Exactly!! My parents are both one of 8 and 9 siblings and my grandmothers gave birth into their 40s without IVF… people from big catholic families are fully aware that women can have babies later in life 😂. People only think it’s rare because most +40yo women are not even trying to get pregnant.
My grandmother had her last child at 44 and my mom had me at 40, I thought it was weird having an older mom than my peers but i wouldn’t have it any other way. Congratulations to Gisele 🎉
My parents are both one of 8 and 9 siblings and my grandmothers gave birth into their 40s without IVF… people from big religious families like mine are VERY aware that women can have babies later in life 😂. How else can you have that many kids?? People only think it’s impossible because most +40yo women are not even trying to get pregnant. The women struggling to have their FIRST child at 40 probably would've had the same fertility issues in their 20s and 30s-- they likely had no idea they had fertility issues until then. There are women in their 20s who still struggle to get pregnant. My coworker is one of them and she started IVF a few months ago, which is covered by our company's insurance. sometimes men and women are just born with fertility issues. I also know someone whose husband needed to get surgery so she could conceive-- it turned out he was born with a reproductive issue that caused him to shoot blanks and it was a very simple surgery.
Until birth control became common in the 1960s, most American women had their final child somewhere between 46 and 50 and had been birthing children for at least a 20-year-time span.
This is lovely and wishing Gisele and other women having babies when they are older all the best. Another conversation alongside this needs to be for women who do wait until their late 30s and 40s to have children, only to find out they can't, due to infertility issues or diagnoses of premature ovarian failure/insufficiency, which affects 1% of women and leads to an early menopause x
Good for her! She is already financially successful, she has more time, wisdom and experience as a mother. At this point she doesn’t need to worry about it maternity leave or any job requirement that interferes with enjoying her new baby. All She can do now is to fully embrace motherhood ❤❤❤❤

Kylie Jenner the youngest of Kris Jenner's kids was born to Kris when she was 44 years old and look at Kylie now she's a billionaire who has 2 kids of her own now
Correction- a “billionaire” bc her sister Kim made a sex tape and got her family known and wealthy! Kylie would’ve never been that wealthy on her own ‼️
They were known before the tape hun. Their father was a celebrity lawyer. They were known.... On top of mom remarrying a Olympic athlete. Just because you didn't n know about them until the mid 2000s doesn't mean they were unknown. Kylie has a career, like the rest of her nsisters, because family stability and wealth means very much to Kris. She grew up poor without man father and family life. To her the American dream is having her children close and their back accounts padded. None of this is due to the tape. The tape was nonprofit if you remember correctly
I am 41, with a healthy womb. I have been trying since I was 39, no baby yet. Message too young women, please do not wait too long. I know you hear these stories, and you think you have until 50 to have a child. Please have children before 35. I am going through hell now trying to conceive, and I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
@shea1219 Why would anybody listen to you? Your story is not everyone´s story. Facts are women CAN AND DO have until 50 to have children. Even longer now with egg freezing. You sound like an INCEL MAN.
@@shea1219 yeah duh. These women having their FIRST babies older are using IVF and frozen eggs and the such. If it’s already your second or subsequent pregnancy it can be easier to conceive and deliver a baby naturally. But not a first baby. Obviously. Also even if you conceive and give birth the baby will have developmental issues bc of your advanced age. This was taught in basic biology class. I’d highly suggest you consider adoption.
@@nataliaalfonso2662 Never asked for your opinion on what life choices I should make. The point I was making was to young women to not get the misconception that child bearing will be easy over 40, bc it won't. I feel this news story gives women that impression.

Just want to clarify that sperm is made fresh on a 30 day cycle. These is no such thing as old sperm. The risk is in DNA elasticity and certain health conditions affecting motility and viability.

Congrats to Gisele. Women have worked hard to create more life choices for ourselves & for the young women who come after us. Whether we want to have no kids, kids at 45, whether we want to marry or never marry, whether we want to be rowdy & footloose our whole lives or lean into our ambitions & work our way to the top...we have these choices because of the hard work, activism & limitation-busting women who came before us. Let's use our voices & choices to ensure we pass on a legacy of even MORE CHOICES to the young women & girls coming up. VOTE VOTE VOTE
As a woman you do not speak for me. Women should not vote voluntarily considering that means we involve the state in controlling us. It used to be believed that right was only reserved for men we CHOOSE to attach ourselves to. Considering we are the vessels of humanity an extra jurisdiction of control has only been harmful for women and children. Do you really think women ever asked for permission to terminate pregnancies or restrict them? Hold jobs? Handle money? Most feminists I know are so horribly historically inaccurate I have come to learn that most of you are having trauma responses to your girl hood, or even someone elses.
Women having kids in their 40s isn’t unusual. Decades ago many people had larger families and it wasn’t unusual for a woman to have many children over many years. What was less unusual until the past decade or so was women waiting to have their first child until their late 30s or their 40s. But even that has become increasingly normal. Where I’m from in Scandinavia, most people wait until they’re in their late 20s or their 30s to have kids.
My friend had 5 children from 38 to 45! She assumed it wasn't possible for her because so many of her friends had trouble getting pregnant, she assumed she would, too. She assumed wrong!😂
Main stream medical on pregnancy needs a serious update on what they recommend. I am 42 pregnant with my 6th. Happily having another home birth with my midwife team. Their experienced advice told me that most mothers considered geriatric over 38 actually do better since they are more experienced and in tune with their bodies. Also women over 38 do better with nutrition, exercise, relaxation then their younger counterparts. So women/mothers don't let the main stream medical scare you that just your age puts you at high risk. You are vibrant beautiful strong and capable. I highly suggest if you don't have other risk factors and are cleared to deliver with midwives to go that route! Lots of love to all the mommy's!💖
I at first thought it was crazy that my 43 yo mother was having a baby, but they are doing just fine. My baby sister is 16 and my parents are still very active in life.
I’m 36 years old and it’s good seeing all these positive comments about women having babies in their 40s because that’s probably gonna be me. Mariah Carey had two healthy twins at the age of 41 and she didn’t use a surrogate. Anything is possible.
Ok but where is the detail about it being from previously frozen eggs or an egg donor? The chances of spontaneous conception at 44 are close to 1%. This is so misleading.
All I know is I won't be having anymore kids and d@mn for sure not in my 40s. One kid is what I can handle so I protect my womb so I don't produce another one. Many people had kids irresponsibly when young(married or not)and are the reason they're teen/adult kids are in therapy now. We don't know how long we will be alive to take care of kids because even young parents die. I do believe many people are more financially, mentally and emotionally stable the older they get. The grandkids get the better version of our parents so time can improve parental skills.
Why are you glad? Regardless it’s still risky and you are still more likely to suffer a miscarriage/stillbirth or have a child with Down Syndrome. We’re only hearing the success stories.
Same could be said throughout history. Plague; Spanish Flu; medieval times; wars; etc. Not saying it's the best time or decision but most of us would not be here with that line of thinking.
I see here a lot of comments from women who got pregnant and healthily delivered healthy children after 40. I'm genuinely happy for you. But to call it a trend, well, let's not rush there. The risks and costs are higher. I hope it can be normalized and encouraged again not to delay having children (for the women who consider having children at all)- and that of course includes building a real support system economically, socially,and in terms of infrastructure.
@elliek5350 It has been normalized for a couple of decades already in Europe. Where countries with Universal Healthcare systems cover IVF for women who decide to use it.
I had two kids younger at 23 and 27 years old. Then had two more kid at age 38 & 39years old . It’s SO MUCH easier when younger. My two youngest kids are now 18 & 19 and I can say that it has been WAY more exhausting ! I think these wealthy people have it a bit Easier because they have the funds to hire house keepers /nanny’s .
They always criticise older women for having children later but never older men. Look at George Clooney, Mick Jagger, Al Pacino just to mention a few. Not a word said about them!
...also, my best friends mum wanted to do a lot of things career wise before she had kids, she was a doctor. She ended up getting married at 37. Had her first at 38 and had 5 more after that. Naturally.
It’s not a trend. It’s actually some how have been taking care of themselves and are able to conceive and deliver healthy babies 40+ when we are all know fertility nowadays declines super early due to lifestyle , nutrition and toxic environment. So those who are able and want, why not? Hormones go nuts later in life, it tells me that they are mindful of their hormones and nurturing to themselves . Congrats 🍾🎈
40 is young still but as someone who started having kids when I was 33 I now recommend having kids in your 20’s. Don’t put career before children because as you get older it’s more difficult to get pregnant, you have less energy, it’s harder to get “your body” back and you don’t know what your future holds financially or health wise. Children are a blessing and I love being a mother but I wish I didn’t listen to society telling women to focus on career and then motherhood because I see so many women now struggling with finding a husband/partner and finding it difficult to get pregnant. I got lucky in that I found my husband and got pregnant pretty quickly. My mom had my little sister at 45 (I was 18) and we are so thankful for my sister but we were also there to help my mom with occasional babysitting or a break ☺️ so there is no right or wrong but I would say don’t wait because you don’t know what your future holds and if you will be successful in getting pregnant. Remember you are replaceable at work and when you’re in your dying bed you don’t want to wish you had put family first.
Instead of focusing on age. Maybe they need to address the maternal mortality rates in America. As well as the rising costs of healthcare and childcare. Or, the fact that reproductive rights are on the verge of being thrown in the toilet. Which will make maternal health and privacy go into the toilet. It’s great she is breaking the stereotypes of women and pregnancy; however, she also doesn’t have the worry middle income and lower income face. Especially with what I stated above.
Women and men can work hard their entire lives, but still don’t see that financial reward. Truthfully, the gap between the rich and the middle class is growing. Let’s be realistic when referring to working hard. Working hard doesn’t always pay off.
Im 32 and im starting to realize there's a good chance I might be 35 or older when I become a first time mother. I probably wouldn't have one after 40, but late 30s yes.
I don't know. 40 is my cut off. 45 tops. I think women can do anything, but my concern especially after 45 is that the child won't reach adulthood until the mother's mid 60s. You could be dead by then. I had my kids late. 35 and 37. Now that I'm in my 40s I can't imagine having another. I could see why people wait though. Most people can't afford to have kids in their 20s anymore.
@LisaCulton maybe to some people it isn't a big deal. My husband and I are retiring at 55 though so I'd want to be done by then. And again, I wouldn't want to be dead before my kid hits 25. It's hard to lose a parent young. Some people live to be 90 but my grandmother was only in her 60s when she died. It happens.
@@Swizzles89 People in my family have longevity (90s to over 100) and many have had babies over 40. I'm nearly 55 and mother to a 16 year old. I work 3 days a week (previously worked full time for 25 years) and will have more children, lord willing.
@@LisaCulton it's the same in my family. Most have lived into their 80s and 90s but we lost a couple when they were young. Nothing's promised unfortunately. Hopefully everything will work out as you want it to!
The problem is that they likely had medical interventions to help achieve these “post 40” pregnancies. They need to be honest about medications or fertility treatments they used. Otherwise we are just telling women it can happen naturally well into your 40s, easy peasy, and that’s just not true
Women have been lied to. It's not so difficult to become pregnant after 40, especially for a woman who is healthy and has already had children (shows that she has good fertility).
It's fine to have kids in your 40s and even 50s. What isn't fun is being 60-70 with teenagers or young adults. I'm afraid that will be my life, as I'm in my 30s and don't plan to have another child until much later in life.
I had my one and only child at 36 but it was a very frightening birth almost lost him but don’t know if it was age related . Always risk no matter what age but good health matters ❤️
This is not a new trend! All you have to do is look at the older generation, before the advent of birth control many women had children well into their 40s and sometimes even 50s (but that is rarer historically). Congratulations to her!
Unmarried and pregnant really shouldn't be glorified no matter how much money you have. And let's be real, this jujitsu guy is gonna pull a Federline once they break up.
I love the positive comments being given to these older moms BUT it does concern me that all the comments are about how this is so great for the mom (they were able to work on themselves, schooling, career), but is this good for these children? I feel like this is a recurring theme just like the debate on IF one should have kids at all, the reasons are always about what having children brings to the parents lives (unconditional love, support in old age) and not a lot of consideration about the potential life being brought into the world. Just a thought…
@@MsSnowblood72 it’s a fair thought. I am the adult child of a mom who had me at age 49. She is a fabulous mom. I was a complete surprise to my mom as she thought she was going through menopause. She raised me as a single mom and has been the most supportive parent. I also had children in my late 40’s. I am now my mom’s primary caregiver (she is 97). And I am not going to lie, it can be super hard working full time and looking after an aging parent with ongoing health issues. However, I would not change anything. My mom has always been there for me and helping me raise my own daughters. I always planned to be there for my mom as she aged. It was not something she expected, but something I wanted to do. None of my older siblings who my mom had at a more traditional age have been there first my mom, so I don’t think a persons age at time of parenthood, is the defining feature of whether a person makes a good parent or not, and whether or not it’s good or bad for the child. It’s the person themselves. I struck gold with my mom. She was a single parent with me, and is the best.❤️ she taught me to take things as they come in life.
I had my children at age 37 and 40. Both were healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. Good for her!

My grandmother gave birth to my father in 1948 she was 44 years old.. she was in her 60’s when I was born and the best grandmother in the world.
My great grandmother had her last child at 50.
My grandmother had my dad at 40 & my uncle at 44 in the early 1950s. My aunt (their older sister) and my grandmother were pregnant at the same time twice. 😊
Does your dad have older siblings?
@@brittanyb5942excuse me. You might want to think on that a bit.
It was probably one of her daughter’s illegitimate child she raised as her own.
That happened A TON back then. 50 is CRAZY. There was no ivf back then.
that was not her first child though. the longer women wait to have their first child, the hard it is.
For some women you don’t find the right one in your 20’s and 30’s but later in your 40’s. People need to get over it. As long as you’re having a period it is possible. I don’t see them telling Robert De Niro, he’s too old to be having kids
People are telling de nitro he’s too old
Why are you lying lmao

Good for her. I'm 42 and still wish to have another baby sometimes. I'm glad for her
Women who have their kids young can't imagine having them later in life and women who have them later in life can't imagine having them earlier. Both are not wrong.
Exactly. Different things work for different people and that’s a good thing.
Women who have kids young will never be able to take up a proper career later in life. or make money. The corporate world is cruel. It is better to take on a career in your youth and take up motherhood later.
@@CharlotteFerrariBretonThat’s horrible advice
Older is better because you have resources and life experience. Younger is better because you have more energy. Both have their pros and cons

Exactly 💯 and Gisele is inspiring women that they can move a different way too. After her divorce, she seems to be so happy and at peace
Many people have way less patience than in their 20, so that can go either way.

I just wish celebrities were more honest about how they got pregnant so much later in life. 1 in 6 couples face fertility issues. I was 33 when I found out I had diminished ovarian reserve. All I can say is women should check their fertility periodically and if possible invest in doing egg retrievals so that they don’t feel the pressure to have babies soon.
@@darcyvalle7779 I agree with this.
Egg retrieval is unrealistic & completely uncontrollable in this climate with unstable men setting policies that don't look out for the health of women.
This idea that women delay having children because they're working on their careers is a stereotype that persists. I'm an educated woman and don't know a single woman who has delayed motherhood for this reason. The problem is finding a suitable partner. Fewer men want to be fathers these days, and many of those who do still expect the woman to be junior partner in the relationship (moving to where he wants to live, doing things on his timeline, considering him the smart one even when he is average at best). For educated women who want to be mothers, it's a sad state of affairs.
@asdkrasere23 That is false. I guess it depends on where you live and the social circle you move in. I met my husband while studying in Europe. He is French. Europe has been ahead of America culturally for decades. European men are much better husbands. They understand equality a lot more and are better educated. You sound like you are surrounded by uneducated midwestern conservative men.
YES. Thank you. I gave birth later in life, but not because I purposely put it off. Also, if I had married at age 25 like many of my friends, my husband would have been a scruffy 19-year-old college dropout (thankful I met him later).
@@asdkrasere23 you don’t need a partner to have a child. Sure it may not be ideal, but it’s possible. I think the only sad state of affairs as you put it would be to have a relationship like you describe it. So sorry. My mom raised me as a single parent when my father suddenly died after she gave birth to me in her late 40’s. This was over 50 years ago. She already had three much older children, but she worked hard and raised me on her own without a lot of help. I would have had a child on my own without any partner if my husband was anything like you described. In fact, I would have tossed him a long time ago, as I have no patience to be with someone who has the kind of expectations you describe. I definitely had children later in life and to some extent it was due to my career, but it was also to make sure that was what I really wanted. I would have done this with or without a partner. Of course, I have been truly blessed that my mom, has always been there to make those choices so much easier for me and my spouse has always tried his best to do this as well.
No, the problem is that women pass up on men that are suitable partners for innocuous reasons
it still counts as a delay due to a career because uneducated/lower SES women have children as young as 16,19,or even 24 while a lot of women are building their career. even finishing college is building a career.

How else can you have that many kids?? People only think it’s impossible because most +40yo women are not even trying to get pregnant. The women struggling to have their FIRST child at 40 probably would've had the same fertility issues in their 20s and 30s-- they likely had no idea they had fertility issues until then. There are women in their 20s who still struggle to get pregnant. My coworker is one of them and she started IVF a few months ago, which is covered by our company's insurance. sometimes men and women are just born with fertility issues. I also know someone whose husband needed to get surgery so she could conceive-- it turned out he was born with a reproductive issue that caused him to shoot blanks and it was a very simple surgery.

@tothelighthouse9843 lmao, funny
Yep. You are so right 👏
As a woman you do not speak for me. Women should not vote voluntarily considering that means we involve the state in controlling us. It used to be believed that right was only reserved for men we CHOOSE to attach ourselves to. Considering we are the vessels of humanity an extra jurisdiction of control has only been harmful for women and children. Do you really think women ever asked for permission to terminate pregnancies or restrict them? Hold jobs? Handle money? Most feminists I know are so horribly historically inaccurate I have come to learn that most of you are having trauma responses to your girl hood, or even someone elses.
Women having kids in their 40s isn’t unusual. Decades ago many people had larger families and it wasn’t unusual for a woman to have many children over many years. What was less unusual until the past decade or so was women waiting to have their first child until their late 30s or their 40s. But even that has become increasingly normal. Where I’m from in Scandinavia, most people wait until they’re in their late 20s or their 30s to have kids.
My last child was born when I was 64 and my wife was 39. Congrats!!!
Living her truth and not apologizing for it!
Good for her. Being a mom after 40 has its perks and downsides. Let her live her life in peace.
I love this! This puts less pressure on women who wants to achieve other things before having kids.
Not a growing trend. It’s been happening for awhile now. My mom who is 75 had a baby at 45.
My friend had 5 children from 38 to 45! She assumed it wasn't possible for her because so many of her friends had trouble getting pregnant, she assumed she would, too. She assumed wrong!😂
ffs 40 ISNT THAT OLD...like really, you guys think 40 is old? crazy
My mom had me at 41 and my sister at 45! We turned out great :) older mother = wise mother. But also- couldn’t get away with anything!
Main stream medical on pregnancy needs a serious update on what they recommend. I am 42 pregnant with my 6th. Happily having another home birth with my midwife team. Their experienced advice told me that most mothers considered geriatric over 38 actually do better since they are more experienced and in tune with their bodies. Also women over 38 do better with nutrition, exercise, relaxation then their younger counterparts. So women/mothers don't let the main stream medical scare you that just your age puts you at high risk. You are vibrant beautiful strong and capable. I highly suggest if you don't have other risk factors and are cleared to deliver with midwives to go that route! Lots of love to all the mommy's!💖
I at first thought it was crazy that my 43 yo mother was having a baby, but they are doing just fine. My baby sister is 16 and my parents are still very active in life.
I’m 36 years old and it’s good seeing all these positive comments about women having babies in their 40s because that’s probably gonna be me. Mariah Carey had two healthy twins at the age of 41 and she didn’t use a surrogate. Anything is possible.
My great grandmother was in 1931 , 44 y/o and she is giving birth too her 4 child.
Mr. jujitsu secured the bag 💰
Al Pacino just had a child at 83 and is my Hero. I'm 78 and my wife had IVF twins 3 yrs. ago. at the age of 33.
Ok but where is the detail about it being from previously frozen eggs or an egg donor? The chances of spontaneous conception at 44 are close to 1%. This is so misleading.
Many women are ovulating and having regular periods at 40+ and can easily get pregnant if they want. I'm a medical doctor and I see it all the time.
Adopting. I don't need to rush myself. There are a lot of kids without mothers....
I can't fathom starting over in my 40s.
All I know is I won't be having anymore kids and d@mn for sure not in my 40s. One kid is what I can handle so I protect my womb so I don't produce another one.
Many people had kids irresponsibly when young(married or not)and are the reason they're teen/adult kids are in therapy now. We don't know how long we will be alive to take care of kids because even young parents die. I do believe many people are more financially, mentally and emotionally stable the older they get. The grandkids get the better version of our parents so time can improve parental skills.

I'm so glad I love that women are having babies after 40.now is time to take that shitty word"geriatric pregnancy" out.
Especially if you don’t have preexisting issues. Not everyone has fertility issues, plenty of women wait or want kids to have specific age gaps.
Geriatric pregnancy is a thing, let’s not use anecdotal information as evidence
Why are you glad? Regardless it’s still risky and you are still more likely to suffer a miscarriage/stillbirth or have a child with Down Syndrome. We’re only hearing the success stories.
The optimism of people having children at this time on our planet astounds me... just sayin...
I agree. It’s insanity
Same could be said throughout history. Plague; Spanish Flu; medieval times; wars; etc.
Not saying it's the best time or decision but most of us would not be here with that line of thinking.
It's interesting how humans brain wire differently! I wouldn't want kid even if I get paid reasonably. No, thank you!
I wish all these ladies the best but pregnancy was hard on my health. My kids are my greatest blessings and I wish that for anyone who desires it.
I see here a lot of comments from women who got pregnant and healthily delivered healthy children after 40. I'm genuinely happy for you. But to call it a trend, well, let's not rush there. The risks and costs are higher. I hope it can be normalized and encouraged again not to delay having children (for the women who consider having children at all)- and that of course includes building a real support system economically, socially,and in terms of infrastructure.
@elliek5350 It has been normalized for a couple of decades already in Europe. Where countries with Universal Healthcare systems cover IVF for women who decide to use it.
@@CharlotteFerrariBretonRisks are real
Im 38 still not ready…dont care if they arent biological
I had two kids younger at 23 and 27 years old. Then had two more kid at age 38 & 39years old . It’s SO MUCH easier when younger. My two youngest kids are now 18 & 19 and I can say that it has been WAY more exhausting ! I think these wealthy people have it a bit Easier because they have the funds to hire house keepers /nanny’s .
That’s true
They always criticise older women for having children later but never older men. Look at George Clooney, Mick Jagger, Al Pacino just to mention a few. Not a word said about them!
Um they criticize both. Men and women’s fertility are different
Children are blessings!! Congratulations ♥️💞♥️
So what! She’s healthy and still young and able enough CLEARLY! Stop hating losers
...also, my best friends mum wanted to do a lot of things career wise before she had kids, she was a doctor. She ended up getting married at 37. Had her first at 38 and had 5 more after that. Naturally.
It’s not a trend. It’s actually some how have been taking care of themselves and are able to conceive and deliver healthy babies 40+ when we are all know fertility nowadays declines super early due to lifestyle , nutrition and toxic environment. So those who are able and want, why not? Hormones go nuts later in life, it tells me that they are mindful of their hormones and nurturing to themselves . Congrats 🍾🎈
I'm 43 and will be trying for my first baby in the new year.
40 is young still but as someone who started having kids when I was 33 I now recommend having kids in your 20’s. Don’t put career before children because as you get older it’s more difficult to get pregnant, you have less energy, it’s harder to get “your body” back and you don’t know what your future holds financially or health wise. Children are a blessing and I love being a mother but I wish I didn’t listen to society telling women to focus on career and then motherhood because I see so many women now struggling with finding a husband/partner and finding it difficult to get pregnant. I got lucky in that I found my husband and got pregnant pretty quickly. My mom had my little sister at 45 (I was 18) and we are so thankful for my sister but we were also there to help my mom with occasional babysitting or a break ☺️ so there is no right or wrong but I would say don’t wait because you don’t know what your future holds and if you will be successful in getting pregnant. Remember you are replaceable at work and when you’re in your dying bed you don’t want to wish you had put family first.
That’s what I was tell my mother I want to have kids in my20s so that way as I age pregnancy doesn’t take a toll on my body
Giselle was cheating long before the divorce
Instead of focusing on age. Maybe they need to address the maternal mortality rates in America. As well as the rising costs of healthcare and childcare. Or, the fact that reproductive rights are on the verge of being thrown in the toilet. Which will make maternal health and privacy go into the toilet. It’s great she is breaking the stereotypes of women and pregnancy; however, she also doesn’t have the worry middle income and lower income face. Especially with what I stated above.
Each child would cost the mother about a 3-mouth life span, according to a study.
Women and men can work hard their entire lives, but still don’t see that financial reward. Truthfully, the gap between the rich and the middle class is growing. Let’s be realistic when referring to working hard. Working hard doesn’t always pay off.
@lacyrussell6688 EDUCATION DOES!!
Im 32 and im starting to realize there's a good chance I might be 35 or older when I become a first time mother. I probably wouldn't have one after 40, but late 30s yes.
@ 0:39 what is the connection to the song?
This is why (some)men are loosing it, and trying to drive us back into the past.
I don't know. 40 is my cut off. 45 tops. I think women can do anything, but my concern especially after 45 is that the child won't reach adulthood until the mother's mid 60s. You could be dead by then. I had my kids late. 35 and 37. Now that I'm in my 40s I can't imagine having another. I could see why people wait though. Most people can't afford to have kids in their 20s anymore.
They want us to work until age 65 or 70, so what's the big deal?
@LisaCulton maybe to some people it isn't a big deal. My husband and I are retiring at 55 though so I'd want to be done by then. And again, I wouldn't want to be dead before my kid hits 25. It's hard to lose a parent young. Some people live to be 90 but my grandmother was only in her 60s when she died. It happens.
@@Swizzles89 People in my family have longevity (90s to over 100) and many have had babies over 40. I'm nearly 55 and mother to a 16 year old. I work 3 days a week (previously worked full time for 25 years) and will have more children, lord willing.
@@LisaCulton it's the same in my family. Most have lived into their 80s and 90s but we lost a couple when they were young. Nothing's promised unfortunately. Hopefully everything will work out as you want it to!
The problem is that they likely had medical interventions to help achieve these “post 40” pregnancies. They need to be honest about medications or fertility treatments they used. Otherwise we are just telling women it can happen naturally well into your 40s, easy peasy, and that’s just not true
Women have been lied to. It's not so difficult to become pregnant after 40, especially for a woman who is healthy and has already had children (shows that she has good fertility).
If people can find a loving partner to start a family I wish them blessings and happiness ❤️🙏
Yes !!! Love it !!! God Bless to those mammas and future moms.❤️🙏👍
It's fine to have kids in your 40s and even 50s. What isn't fun is being 60-70 with teenagers or young adults. I'm afraid that will be my life, as I'm in my 30s and don't plan to have another child until much later in life.
Congratulations Gisele!😍
Why not? Children are a blessing!🍀👍🏽😀
I had my one and only child at 36 but it was a very frightening birth almost lost him but don’t know if it was age related . Always risk no matter what age but good health matters ❤️
My grandma had twins at 42
My mom had her last bby at 41 ❤
This is not a new trend! All you have to do is look at the older generation, before the advent of birth control many women had children well into their 40s and sometimes even 50s (but that is rarer historically). Congratulations to her!
Unmarried and pregnant really shouldn't be glorified no matter how much money you have. And let's be real, this jujitsu guy is gonna pull a Federline once they break up.
I agree!
I love the positive comments being given to these older moms BUT it does concern me that all the comments are about how this is so great for the mom (they were able to work on themselves, schooling, career), but is this good for these children? I feel like this is a recurring theme just like the debate on IF one should have kids at all, the reasons are always about what having children brings to the parents lives (unconditional love, support in old age) and not a lot of consideration about the potential life being brought into the world. Just a thought…
@@MsSnowblood72 it’s a fair thought. I am the adult child of a mom who had me at age 49. She is a fabulous mom. I was a complete surprise to my mom as she thought she was going through menopause. She raised me as a single mom and has been the most supportive parent. I also had children in my late 40’s. I am now my mom’s primary caregiver (she is 97). And I am not going to lie, it can be super hard working full time and looking after an aging parent with ongoing health issues. However, I would not change anything. My mom has always been there for me and helping me raise my own daughters. I always planned to be there for my mom as she aged. It was not something she expected, but something I wanted to do. None of my older siblings who my mom had at a more traditional age have been there first my mom, so I don’t think a persons age at time of parenthood, is the defining feature of whether a person makes a good parent or not, and whether or not it’s good or bad for the child. It’s the person themselves. I struck gold with my mom. She was a single parent with me, and is the best.❤️ she taught me to take things as they come in life.
Nah, I am with Sophia Vergarabon this one. Pregnancy after 40 just isn't worth it.
