By irresponsible, I mean that she gives the impression that pregnancy at 49 is "doable" without major medical intervention such as IVF , donor egg..and so on. It's irresponsible to other women who may take their fertility cues from her.

I tend to air on the side of "none of my business"...it's my default.

I keep seeing opinions/beliefs that a 49 y/o cannot conceive naturally...umm hell yes they can. If she has a uterus and is still producing eggs, why wouldn't she be able to conceive naturally? Not everyone has fertility issues and needs fertility treatments. Seems like a bunch of bitterness over an older women getting pregnant when they themselves have issues and see it as unfair that they're younger and having difficulties.

My opinion, a 49 year old shouldn't be pregnant at all.

It is none of out business, but I think it's human nature to be curious. I know I am a little.

This is what I meant by a 49 year old might not want to be pregnant. Not being rude or undermined.

Irresponsible?? I am confused by this option. Like that means she didn't have protected sex?? She's obligated to share how because she's a celeb? Maybe I'm having a senior moment but why would it be irresponsible? Is it because of her age??? There's some grandma or old lady somewhere that popped out a baby, the age is obviously going to play a roll on how long she is around, but the average age for women is 80+. She'll be around for her kid (hopefully) for more than 20+ years.

So....it's somehow her problem that people can't just do their own research and get their freakin feelings hurt because someone who OBVIOUSLY has more time, money, and resources can get pregnant? That's stupid.

Noone has a responsibility to discuss the conception of their child. I don't believe that anyone is unaware that your fertility declines with age. I feel everyone needs to concentrate on their own bodies. I began the menopause at 34, you just don't know how late is too late.

When a 49 year old celebrity announces pregnancy without details (IVF, donor egg, surrogacy), it is:

Gunce • Mon, May 09 • Head of research at Glow. Unwilling infertility expert. 2 kids after 6 IVF treatments.

By irresponsible, I mean that she gives the impression that pregnancy at 49 is "doable" without major medical intervention such as <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a>, donor egg..and so on.

It's irresponsible to other women who may take their fertility cues from her.
