Chances are this will be her only baby given her age.

Disagree. These are celebrities with a lot of financial resources. If they do second baby, they’ll have a second baby Kate Bosworth just had her first at 43 via surrogacy.

Aubrey could use donor eggs if she wanted and chances with young fertile eggs would be quite good even if she wanted to carry herself. For the average dual income federal worker couple in DC probably not an option, but in Hollywood definitely plausible if not probable.

+1. Especially when there was no oops baby after being with her now dead husband for a decade, when she was much more fertile. It ain’t adding up.

It's almost like infertility can sometimes be due to the male in the relationship, not the female. Imagine that.

I am not sure her ex even wanted kids. I don't think he did

This is just a really weird and mean spirited thread about a woman you guys don't even know. The judgment and snark is really bizarre.

That is... not at all true. At 40, most women can get pregnant without an intervention. And most of those pregnancies will result in a healthy baby.

I just don't believe it. sorry. I don't know any woman in real life who got "knocked up" in their 40s with her FIRST CHILD with no medical help. All the 40+ year old first time moms I have ever met took meds to make it happen.

Add to this, this woman has been severely underweight (ED?) for 20 years. I would find it more plausible for this to happen to someone who is normal weight.

DP. I was in a first time mom group with my first and there were two women who were 40 that got pregnant first time no ivf.

Yeah this is not rare at all. It’s not that hard for many people to get pregnant naturally in their early 40s, including my mother, my sister, and me. Looking at my family tree it was pretty standard to keep having kids until your early 40s. And I have quite a few friends who have as well. This is weird to me.

Same. 2nd month trying at 41. Was careful prior to that. Multiple women in my peer group had similar experiences. We were all close enough to have sought out emotional support if we’d needed ART. One oops in the bunch and they were a welcomed surprise.

It happens daily.

Chances are it’s not even her egg. Hollyweird.

It really is not. I was 41 when my first was born. I saw a high-risk MFM OB--not because of my age but because of a prior major abdominal surgery. At one appointment, the provider had a printed sheet of who they would see that day with ages listed. I was the oldest by quite a bit and I asked how my risk compared with those of others seen in the same clinic. The OB said "You are the lowest-risk person we're seeing here today."

I hope that's made up because otherwise that's a huge violation of patient privacy.

Oh no it is not, you big baby.

I was 40, no meds, low normal weight, five months of trying.

And the list of patients was real, and did contain names--mine as well as theirs. Yes, it was a massive violation of patient privacy (including mine).

I know several and was one myself. "Knocked up" with twins at 41 first month after taking out the IUD. My grandmother had my mother in the 50s at 44 and my uncle at 46. There are outliers everywhere. Also, Aubrey has always looked a normal weight?

Isn’t her timeline a little messy?
