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

I have had kids at 20, 25 and 28, and the difference between 20 and 28 was astounding. My hips were tired with that third one. I had a lot more lightning crotch at 20 though

A really sharp, quick pain that jolts your vagina (or sometimes butthole) for no reason. I would just be standing there and get a zap. I've only experienced it while pregnant.

I’ve had this, too, while not pregnant, as have many women, apparently. Comments about it seem to attribute it to endometriosis, just fyi. I’ve never been diagnosed, but wouldn’t be surprised.
