"It's a society issue/pressure, since the dawn of time, they told women they are on a biological clock, and that after a certain point they can't have kids,"
"Pregnancies are high-risk as you get older, but that doesn't mean that the pregnancies aren't going to happen."
"44 is the 'difficult but not super rare' category of pregnancies. Weird for her to say she didn't even think it was possible,"
Societal pressure has long framed female fertility as strictly time-limited, reinforcing a 'biological clock' narrative that tells women they cannot have children after a certain age. Pregnancies become higher risk with advancing maternal age, increasing medical complications and monitoring needs. Higher-risk status does not preclude the possibility of conception or successful pregnancy outcomes for older women. Age 44 is described as a difficult but not exceptionally rare category for pregnancy, indicating that pregnancies at that age do occur with some frequency. Misconceptions about impossibility can lead to surprise and perpetuate stigma.
