Babies At 50 (Parenting Documentary) | Real Stories

i'm 57, i tried being a surrogate but was denied by all the agencies bc of my age..

I had my fist baby at 36, yhen wnd one at 40 and now pregnant again at 43❤

These people look so old for their ages?!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS Jenny, CAROL an Ken.

I think the first lady is quite selfish, your life does revolve around your kids! Yeah they do have to fit in to your plans to an extent but if you've chosen to have kids in the way you have you probably shouldn't see them as an inconvenience. She's acting like shes not cbosen to be pregnant

My great grandmother had her baby at 49 without ivf treatment ❤

Was that toddler drinking Wine ? 🍷
😳

My maternal grandmother had her last child at 52 thought she was in the change in pain my mom ran for the doc he came and 2hrs later Tessy arrived

Egg and sperm donation should be banned and I say that as someone who was adopted. These people selfishly think of themselves and not the child.

Mum was 44 when she had my sister. I was 22 and my sister 23. Mum had anothe baby girl and was delighted so was Dad !

Being an older mum is awesome. I think thats an amazing thing and must bring so much hope to so many women. I'm in my late twenties and have three children, but would always love to have more.

I'm 35 with a 17 month old and I'm exhausted. I'm happy for people who have a healthy baby even if they're 50 but I would cry. Wouldn't have the energy to go through this again!!! And I'm only at the beginning!!!

Why are they forensically checking for similarities between the egg donor & the child. Some babies look their dad!!

Your life 100 percent evolves around your child
from the day they were born and forever, they come first ALWAYS ❤

Does anyone know if Jenny and Warren had a baby I felt they really did deserve to get pregnant and could have offered a baby a good life

And then those mothers are too old to deal with grandchildren or even meet them!

What year was this made ?

Incredibly selfish

So she was with the man 16 yrs without getting pregnant. Reaching late 40s gets preg an she’s being called selfish because of her age, if she had a termination. People critize her for that. You cant win in public opinion. So much judgement on this post. An let’s be real theses days if you choose a career as a women first by the time you settle down you have what?! Missed the boat. You can’t win. If you have them young you might struggle more financially. Women will be heavily judged whatever we do when it comes to motherhood.

I had my youngest at 41. my third batch of babies.
I donated my eggs to an older couple when I was 23 and their girls are absolutely amazing 😊😊 they are like my nieces.

Being an older parent you have to take such good care of yourself. I was in a terrible accident and I couldn't walk for almost a year. I made sure I got on my feet again. I can't run unless I have to at 43. 😂

God bless!! 🤍🙏🏼

D

There are going to be more women having kids older because it takes so long to settle down these days. I didn't have my first until I was 25. My brother is almost in his 30's and doesn't have kids yet. he just ended a long-term relationship too. I've noticed more and more people are struggling with infertility as well.

Isn't this incest 🤔

Did the last couple have a baby does anyone know? They were soooo deserving of one ❤

This is wrong

🙏 amen! And bless you sweetheart. I’m currently 41 years old my beautiful daughter is & months old. I never thought I would have such a blessing and chose to hear these stories due to the negative ideas put inside my head. I thank you for helping me feel good about my decision to choose life over a boring retirement. Thank you and God Bless all of you!

i think it selfish she could die when her child is young

That's her baby I don't like how that first family puts emphasis on it being the other girl's baby just cuz she donated the egg, after you donated the egg it's no longer yours.

Wow those shoulder pads 😂

personally don’t agree with the family giving eggs to there grandma and grandad 😳 but im so happy for carol & ken i also hope warren and jenny had there baby in the end 🥺

My mother was 39 and father was 43. When I was born. They were wonderful parents. I was fortunate to spend 40 years with them. They passed away in their 80’s.

I couldnt use another persons egg, its not the same wouldn"t be my own child.

birth is an illusion like dealth all unconscious men and women buy in too all life is consciousness consciousness
isnt created it allways has been and allways will be and thus no women creates a life
women are merely fascinating the incarnation process of a soul coming in from spirit to have a human experence
one women in the video state if it wasnt for me she would be here correction yes she would
if she hadn't of come from her it would have been someone else we choose are parient in the spirit world

Both for men and women i feel shoyld have a nature limit.its great that there's medical advancement for options but as a OBGYN who has volunteered in orphanages its sad that less kids are being adopted.the mgnt of the orphanages say that the rate ha reduced because couple's are having kuds past 45.i support couples who want to go through all the options but i also have the ridiculous belief that if you adopt you will be rewarded.i know there's no statistics or scince to support it just i have witbess it among my patients

I think I’m going to make the distinction that the egg donor is a genetic parent but since I’m carrying my baby, I’m the biological mother. She came to exist thru my biology. Her genetics came to exist from her genetic parent.

Does anyone have any updates on any of these people as this was filmed 24 years ago.

I have great respect for these older people havin babies and wish them all the best ❤ im 54 my son is 33 and know theres no way i would have the energy but good on them 😊

it's not right lord have mercy

My parents were 40 when my sister and I were born. We are 11 months apart. My brother was 20 years older than we are and we had a sister who was 10 years older than me and my sister. Can you say spaced out? Yes we were but it didn't matter at all. I think we had the best parents in the world because they were older.

I would love when documentaries like these do a follow up. I would love to see how things turned out. Jenny you are a credit to your parents ❤

Good luck to these women im 52 and i couldn't be doing this? So glad for an early menopause 39 .

I had my first and only child at 33. When I could go back in time, I would have done it different. I think, 33 is so old, for having your first baby. Wish, I could have been a young mother. My parents were both 23 when they had me, and 28, when my brother was born. Best choiche in life is, having children young, when you are healthy and have a partner. Could'nt imagine having babies over 40. No offence, it is just my opinion.

Was that baby drinking wine???

Now this is the sickest thing I could ever see I mean her skin in all rankly an she like old old I swear god should have had a off button at a certain age ...

My wife Jen and I featured in this documentary and were unsuccessful. Our following attempt produced a boy and a girl. We had faith and kept on trying!

I really hope Jen and her husband got there little buddies of love x

My mum had me when she was 45 and my dad 50 I’m now 21 and both my parents are still active as ever! My dad’s 70 and still works and is actually helping me put up a fence tomorrow and my mum is 66 next week and she still works, got her first tattoo a few years ago, jets off on holidays and even went back to school a couple years ago! There’s nothing wrong with having older parents.

I made my mum a Grandma for the first time at 40. I’m now 43 and although I could still fall pregnant biologically, I can’t imagine having another baby now. I had my kids at 18. 23. 25. 27 and 29 (as well as losing a baby daughter at 28). The difference in how hard I found night feeds etc from the first at 18 to the last at 29 was huge. I would be devastated if I fell pregnant now. If people fall naturally at that age then that’s just what it is although it is hard for the child to have parents who are older than many grandparents and they are far likely to lose their parents at a young age. To be taking steps to get pregnant by taking eggs from someone younger because you are too old to have them naturally is biology telling you that you’re too old to be having a baby.

Heck, NO. I did not feel the same at age 20 as at age 50. Now I am getting rather close to 60 and I am feeling each and every year of my life.
