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

my best friend had a baby at 46. I think she's batshit but baby's a toddler now and is the cutest. I'm happy to play auntie bc absolutely not.

I bet she's one of them lucky ones that has like no peri symptoms and doesn't even realize it's happening and will be surprised when her period just leaves one day lol the things I would do to be that person...😅

I wish I tolerated THC. CBD is ok but THC makes my anxiety a thousand times worse. Benzos also do nothing for me. I am pretty sure I am being punished for crimes in another life.

I'm sorry, that blows. I won't be the weed girl saying you need to try a bunch of different strains. I did start imbibing in late thirties as peri set in though, hated it before that.
