She’s so pretty and always has a funky pair of glasses on, but come on!! Is that a mumu? Times have changed and there are some great options out there.

CourtneyKrew on

LOL I really like her, but man, thats one fugly shirt…

I had no idea she was pregnant, Im happy for her!

milklover on

Totally agree, like her, like her glasses but that shirt has got to go.

Suzy Q on

She looks cute! but isnt she much more of a risk, having a child at 40? But im happy for her!

Sarah, CBB Editor on

There are increased risks, yes, such as having a child with Down’s Syndrome, but once you are 35+ (“advanced maternal age”)they recommend many tests for you, such as amniocentesis, to make sure everything is fine. I’m sure she and her doctor are making sure that she is well cared for.

There’s nothing wrong with having a child around 40, as long as you are prepared to deal with what may happen-as any pregnant mother has to be!

The shirt is hideous!
There are risk for her and her child but I am happy for them. My grandmother had my dad at 50 in 1952! Now that’s something!

Both the shirt and the glasses are horrible. You can get better maternity clothes than that at the GAP.

My mom had me at 41 with no complications in 1970. Sure the risk ratio goes up, but for the most part, if you break down the percentages…most babies turn out wonderfully if I don’t say so myself!

Suzy Q on

Im happy for her im not making fun of her. I had my first child at 16.

Air on

My aunt had her 3rd child at 42 and everything was ok with the baby. Also, my cousins have an aunt on the other side of there family that has 8 sons and she had 3 of them in her 40′s-her last when she was 47. They are all healthy too.

Susan Lee on

Wow – I used to date Howard in San Francisco and I am in shock! Agreed re:the terrible shirt.

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
