She looks gorgeous! OMG! My prediction is that she’s having a girl as well! She has such a girl belly shape going…Perfectly round!

Congrats Halle!

Best Wishes to Halle and her new baby! She looks really good. There is nothing “geriatric” about her.

I don’t know why are so hard on older pregnant moms. She is a grown woman with the means to care for her child. At least she’s not some teenager.

love halle unconditionally. come visit st.kitts/nevis with your baby. love ya girl!

Our first child, a boy, was born when I was 23, our daughter when I was 28, and our youngest son (now 2) when I was 40….could not have ask for a more wonderful blessing.

She’s hardly geriatric! But she looks great in the added scans! Like she wouldn’t! Anyway, in that third shot–love the outfit–she looks like she isn’t even pregnant at all.

I had my daughter at 37. They gave me standard tests for a number of things under the rubric “advanced maternal age,” so I feel her pain.

the ‘geriatric pregnancy’ label makes me laugh, just because she looks so amazing and i still cant believe she is actually as old as she is.

Pregnancy really suits her. she is glowing and her bump is so neat.

I’m also due in March and have the same belly shape as Halle. I’m having a girl so I think she will also be having a beautiful little girl!!!

I had my second child when I was 42. I was told she was my pre-menopause baby. We are not sorry that we had her late in life. She is my life, my daughter, my friend and companion. Now that I am 65 and her Daddy is 74 we know why God sent her to us. She is a miracle that we are blessed with. Don’t let people get you down Halle, they should be watching their own business and not everyone elses. Good luck with your baby!! I’m very happy for you.

She is stunning. These pictures almost look fake, because she’s so gorgeous. Seriously, she should stay pregnant forever. Also, her boyfriend is dreamy. I wonder if they will teach the baby French (he’s French, right?).

Not to nitpick – but Ivey – I’ve done a lot of research on caffeine during pregnancy. I don’t think the “jury is still out” in regards to it’s effect on a baby. Caffeine has been consumed for hundred of years and the ill-effects would have been well recorded (and have) by now. The most common side effect from caffeine is lower birth weight, and this is only when coffee has been consumed in excess.

I drank a small cup a day, every day I was pregnant and had a 9lb baby. Every single woman I know (I live in NYC, we tend to drink a lot of coffee here) drank coffee while pregnant and it had no ill-effects on their babies. I’ve asked many doctors in NYC and every single one said that if you restrict your consumption to one 5 ounce cup a day it will have no effect. In fact, if you have really bad allergies, caffeine will really help them – which was a life saver for me, since my doctor wouldn’t let me take Sudafed. The only instance I’ve heard about caffeine having ill-effects is when people are trying to conceive – I’ve heard that eliminating caffeine is a good idea, but I don’t really know why, exactly.

I am all for people choosing to cut everything out while pregnant if they wish, but I really find it annoying when people say they “cringe” when they see pregnant ladies drinking coffee–as if we’re lighting up a cigarette or doing a shot of tequila. Many many healthy babies were born to people consuming caffeine long before people were worried about it.

Besides, dark chocolate can have as much caffeine as coffee/tea and pregnant women eat that ALL the time!

Sorry for the rant, but it’s one of my pet peeves. Everybody has to make their own choices about sushi, coffee, soft cheeses, wine, deli meat, etc – but we can respect each other’s choices and try not to judge. After all, there’s probably something that you will think it’s ok to do/eat while pregnant that other people will be horrified by.
