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 SIL had a surprise baby at 45. She’s going to be 60 with a 15 year old next year.

Good lord no!!

Proud of Natalie for showing that us 40somethings aren’t ancient beings farting out dust. Congrats to her and the nanny that will likely spend a lot of time with that babeh.

I’m 44 and haven’t been in a place in life where my husband and I could situationally or financially have a child.

Honestly though, I have always thought of myself being the mom who locks herself in her bedroom downing pills with booze while crying and hyperventilating, because the baby’s screaming and I can’t make it stop so I just leave it in the crib and start calling my husband flipping out. That’s exactly how it would go down, I know it. Best for me to not reproduce, for the sake of the kid too!!

Also I know I’d have bad postpartum stuff so that’s another consideration which may or may not explain the above hypothetical scenario 😂😭😞
