Yes I did, I got pregnant at 40 “maturally” which isn’t even considered so late anymore I guess. It helped my marriage I think to have an “ours baby” because it kind of made stuff more balanced. He has three kids from his previous marriage and us having a baby made me feel on more solid ground and more like a family. That’s just me but for us it helped a great deal and put my focus on my child and what I can do with her rather than what I wasn’t allowed to do/couldn’t do with his. I wish women luck with this and have my fingers crossed for Kelly Preston due to the higher risk of miscarriage in her age bracket. I hope all goes well!

LOL oops I mean “naturally” not “maturally” but I think I know why I made the slip: mature + naturally = maturally!!!

I had my last baby (which was my third, but my first with husband #2) at 42. We’d love to have more, but with 5 kids between the two of us and now being 44, I feel like I’m pushing my luck. It was absolutely the best decision we ever made. I applaud women who can and do have children later in life!!
