She does have every right to wait until she feels she is ready, she just has to understand the longer she waits the harder it might be.

deborah got money, so most likely if she has any problems getting pregnant, she can take fertilty drugs. Look at all the celebrities having first babies salma hayek, halle berry, jennifer lopez, naomi watts, jillian barberie, etc, it’s pretty common for a lot of celebrities to have kids after 35. Also women can have trouble getting pregnant at any age, there’s no guarnetee execpt if your younger, you have more time to try different situations. Some doctors even say when your in your 40′s you gotta be careful your more prone to get pregnant quicker because your hormones are getting ready for menopause

i think- What makes you think that Marc demanded that J-Lo get pregnant? She has been very vocal about wanting kids since before she even met Marc!

paula- You mentioned some very good points! However, I think Angelina and Brad would turned to adoption if Angie couldn’t get pregnant naturally (especially since they already have one biological child). I have a feeling Angie would interpret not being able to get pregnant naturally as a sign that she was meant to adopt again rather than get pregnant.

Also, Angie mentioned in a recent interview that she and Brad were surprised to find out they are having twins (her actual words were something like “We weren’t expecting twins”, meaning, obviously, they weren’t expecting TO have twins).

That makes me think they concieved naturally. I doubt they’d have been surprised by the news of the twins if she’d been taking fertility treatments! It is also possible that Angie and Brad’s twins are identical (it has been strongly rumored that both babies are girls. Granted, it has also been rumored that they are fraternal, but those rumors started when Angie alledgly told a reporter that they saw “a line” of some sort on the ultrasound, which the doctor told them could mean the babies are fraternal. In otherwords, at this point even Angie and Brad probably don’t know for sure!).

In that case, Angie and Brad just got lucky (as identical twins occur when one fertilized egg splits in two).

As for J-Lo…Why wouldn’t she have just said, “I don’t want to discuss it” or “No comment” about fertility treatments if she really had them and didn’t want to share (rather than out right denying it)? Anyway, I also want to point out that not all couples struggling to concieve want to try fertility treatments, even ones who can easily afford them like J-Lo and Mark.

“i think”…I do remember in at least one interview, J-lo stating that they had been trying for something like 3 years and she had resigned herself to the fact that she would only be a step-mom. I think she has been pretty public in the fact that it took quite awhile to get pregnant. Also, twins running in the male partner’s family in no way affects the ability to conceive fraternal twins (identical twins do not run in families). So Marc Anthony or Brad having twins in their families would not give them a greater chance of having twins, neither would twins on her father’s side. It would have to be on the mother’s side, which I don’t think is the case in either family, although I could be wrong. I think the discussion of fraternal twins has gone on before here, but the mother would have to ovulate two eggs and neither her father nor her partner could give her the ability to do that. Julia Roberts has also claimed that twins run in the family and I know others have as well but at this moment I can’t remember who else.

to Nicole: Marica used IVF but has never said she used donor eggs.

to paula: Lopez never admitted to struggling to get prgnant. That was rumored.
2) lopez became private bc Marc Anthony demanded it of her. A good thing to as this her 3rd marriage is her longest one !
3) Please name the celebs who claim twins run in their family?
4) Twins are in her Lopez’s genes paternally as her paternal auntie is either a twin or has twins.
5) Twins are in Brad Pitts genes as well. His sis has twins.

Let me preface this by saying that I don’t think it matters at all how a child was conceived. I, myself, have two children conceived through ART and one came to our family through adoption and they are all my little miracles. Anyway, I think that the reason so many people doubt that J-lo’s twins were conceived naturally is that so many celebs have been having twins lately that they can’t all possibly have been conceived naturally. We’re talking about a population that has a lot of money and resources to pursue all kinds of treatments, so it would make sense that someone like J-lo, who we know struggled to get pregnant, and seems like a very driven person who does not give up, would seek out some kind of treatment. She has also turned into a very private person and so it would also make sense that she would want to hide that from the public. And her explanation of twins running in the family (a pretty common explanation among celebs) doesn’t make scientific sense. Yes, the instance of twins does increase with age but it’s still pretty negligible…I read in one article that it goes from 2% to 2.3% after the age of 35. As for Angelina, I doubt that she did IVF, but I do think it is possible that she took fertility drugs, even Clomid increases your chance of twins to something like 9%. It’s possible that she and Brad knew they wanted a child within a certain time frame, knew her cycles weren’t regular and used something pretty benign like Clomid, increasing the chance of twins significantly. Of course it’s also possible that both just had twins naturally, but I doubt it. In any case it doesn’t really matter…and I’ve gone on way too long. Have a nice day everyone!

I am only 9 wks pregnant and 30 yrs old, but let me say that it has not been easy. It took two years of constant prayers for it finally happen and when this one is born, I’m plan to start trying for the next one ASAP. I agree that women who know for a fact that they want to get pregnant shouldn’t wait until everything in their life is perfect, because it will never be.

Never mind any of that – I can’t believe Debbie Gibson is 37 already!!!! How old do I feel???????
