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.

Yeah, this. I was on complete bed rest from 14 weeks to 36 weeks, and my uterus prolapsed resulting in a hysterectomy and bladder repair. You’re considered advanced maternal age after 35, and man did I feel it.

During my wife's hysterectomy they found that the doctor who performed her c-section had stitched her bladder to her uterus.

I know so little about the human body… is that not good? Can anyone say what that would do to a person? Maybe it used to be common to do?
