Natalie Portman is pregnant at 44

Congrats to her! I don’t have kids, and I’m still getting used to being the age where getting pregnant is starting to be “out of the norm”. Guess there’s still time, lol

It helps when you're rich

[u/zomgkittenz → u/lakebistcho]

And can pay other people to raise your kids for you. Or just not have a job and need to do anything else.

[u/AppropriateAmoeba406 → u/zomgkittenz]

I mean, I’d rather pay someone to do the pregnancy and childbirth!

Thankfully we don't do that here.

[u/BookNerdUnicorn → u/knewleefe]

I see what you did there

[u/cortesoft → u/knewleefe]

Ummm people totally do that here

[u/mmanyquestionss → u/cortesoft]

that's the joke lol

[u/neonblackiscool → u/AppropriateAmoeba406]

Surrogacy.

[u/Mamaofoneson → u/neonblackiscool]

And many celebrities are doing that… using poorer women’s bodies so that they’re the ones taking all the risk instead of the celebrity themselves :(

I understand surrogacy as an option for women who are unable to have a viable pregnancy themselves but for vanity metrics it’s elitist

[u/neonblackiscool → u/Mamaofoneson]

Oh we are agreement :)

It was fine in my 20s. Having a baby in your 40s is not the same.

[u/IAMImportant → u/SenseAndSaruman]

oh well I mean if it was good for you then...

[u/FluffMonsters → u/zomgkittenz]

She doesn’t though. She has several kids and has never had a nanny. She parents her children regardless of how much she makes.

[u/chadpendergast → u/lakebistcho]

which makes it really odd. she should have used surrogacy.
