Rachel Weisz pregnant @ 48

[Anonymous]

I gave birth to healthy, happy baby boy last year at age 50. It’s no one's business if we used donor egg, frozen embryo, iVF with eggs frozen years ago, or if we conceived naturally. (We didn’t conceive naturally.). No woman who gives birth at this age is doing anyone a disservice by failing to tell others how they got there. Why? Because one persons experience is not relevant anyone else’s. Any one else trying to get pregnant at this age will be told in their first meeting with any RE what their personal options are and, in part, that will be based on actions you took in the past, like freezing eggs or embryos. So, for anyone at an advanced age that’s fretting over everyone else’s failure to disclose the intimate details of how they got pregnant, stop focusing on everyone else, start focusing on yourself, and become an active participant in resolving your own infertility issues by seeing an RE. And for anyone who wants to know just to criticize an older mom for having kids at this age ... ha! ... energy isn’t age specific ... and, if anything, having a kid at this age has been an energizing change in our lives.

I just think these celebrities should publicly announce that they use donor eggs, if they do only because many ordinary women look up to them (unfortunately). This gives women a false impression and hope that they will be fertile in their 40s when the reality is mostly the opposite of that.

I could NOT agree more.

I think it's very unfortunate and creates a false sense of "you have all the time in the world!"

Da FUQ???

Watching someone in a movie does not give you the right to be all up in her ovaries , none of your business, she does not owe you her medical records.

and yet.. so many people from the movies lecture us constantly on political and social issues and overnight rise to prominent advocates of whatever issue they happened to wake-up and care about that morning.

maybe. nobody actually knows these probabilities (they are impossible to calculate because we don't know how many people are trying, how many are using contraception etc). i don't know why people are throwing these statistics around.

When he stomach started growing she thought she had a tumor and went to see a physician. She was 6 months pregnant. The baby is 20 now. These things happen.

Same thing happened to my neighbor- also at 47. Found out at 5,5mo pregnant. Had a healthy baby girl.

People ar quick to quote numbers based on a population of women who have compromised fertility- women who don't have trouble having children don't visit fertility clinics. They are the population left out of most of these statistics.

Dum A** a voting citizen speaking out about social and political issues that affect ALL OF US is not the same as you telling a famous individual to give up her HIPPA rights so you jump all up in her fallopian
Sss ... You sound stupid as heck!

to be honest i much prefer that barely literate celebrities would shut up on all issues. but no, there is no principal difference between them pinioning on hilary or trump or infertility. the odds are that, when they talk about IF they at least have some personal experience.

It's either a donor egg or it isn't. At her age, it most likely is. What does confirmation one way or the other matter?

personally I am curious. I am pregnant naturally at 45 which is obviously different from 48 but even at 48 pregnancies do happen.

How can I make it happen at 48?? Tell me!

You’re looking for answers on how to get pregnant at 48 on an Entertainment and Pop Culture blog? You can’t find answers here. Go see a reproductive endocrinologist.
