Gisele Bündchen pregnancy part of growing trend of women having babies after 40

[@kaybrown2201]

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.

[@tothelighthouse9843]

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!!

I am 29 yrs old and with no boyfriend, fiance or husband. Sometimes I feel like I am late in life and I won’t be a mother because I am “a little old”. Thanks for your message about your aunt. ❤ I have hope now

@MegaMarVerde I am so happy you my comment touched you in this manner. I always believe that what is meant for you will be at the right time.

Keep hope alive. 🙏

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.

No. Even if the odds are higher relative to younger ages, it’s still actually lower risk. Women have access to better healthcare and nutrition compared to the past.
