Giving birth at 48?
65 Answers
It seems that John Travolta's wife Kelly has just given birth aged 48!
Now I have no children,and in fact have never been pregnant,but something seems wrong here.
I know we women CAN have babies late but something in this seems odd to me.
Not that long after(sadly) losing their son she amazingly produces another child,as to replace the other.
Was it conceived by IVF,or surrogacy,we will probably never know the truth(especially given that they are Scientologists)
Any thoughts welcome.
I apologise if this sounds hard.

To be fair to Invictas - i think you maybe phrased your Question a little carelessly, and sometimes this can infer a degree of heartlessness which is not intended, or felt. It's the penalty we all pay from time to time - minterperetation of our thoughts due to the limitations of printed exchanges.
I think having children is a gift given to some, and not to all. I do agree with LoftyLottie - as i have done for many years (Hi Lotts!) that nature has built in a cutt-off point for conception for simple practical reasons - the health and strength nedded to bear and raise children diminish with age - i am a grandad of fifty-six, and the thought of my grandchildren full-time is not something i would contemplate with ease!
I think given their close family, and fanancial security, that ms. Preston will be fine with another baby, and hopefully a new arrival will help to assuage their terrible loss, although (and i am sure you regret using the term0 - replacement is never anything to be considered for even a second's thought.

My mum conceived me naturally when she was 52 and had my sister 3 years earlier. There was no artificial conception then (I am aged 57 now) I too am childless, not by choice, we chose not to have any fertility treatment though.
I have said on here that I think that no fertility treatment at all should be funded on the NHS and even i think your post sounds a little thoughtless.

Ah but cazz - were they actually their children, or a cover up for a teenage daughter?
I can see what invictus is saying in terms of is it cheating nature, but I think that 48 is still young enough for it not to be too great an issue - it's when you get late 50s etc that it doesn't feel right to me - regardless of the circumstances.
