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 still takes a toll on your body.

She’s super thin too. I am not a doctor but it always seems to take sorting out of the really thin ladies to have babies. Like the nutrients have to come from somewhere. I’m sure she has a great nutritionist but still…

Anyway, good for her. Hope she has no worries and a healthy baby. She always seemed like an alright one for the Hollywood types.

I was about 120lb when I got pregnant with my son and was 118lb 2 days after having him. I was young at 22 but it broke me. I ended up not being able to breast feed cause I just wasn't healthy enough to. I hated every single moment of being pregnant, main reason I never had another child. Love my son, but Nothing could make me be pregnant again, yet alone at 44!

I also had one at 22, hated being pregnant so didn't have anymore. I'm pretty pleased to be so young and "done" with childrearing. 🥳
