Halle Berry: "Yes, I'm pregnant!"

[mintjelly]

I'm so thrilled for her! I hope she has an uncomplicated pregnancy and delivery, what with her medical history and all (diabetes).

She's gonna be a great mom!

Halle Berry is caramel complected, and her father was dark-skinned, therefore there is also a chance that the baby could turn out to be caramel brown or even darker hued than she.

Of course, It doesn't matter... They need to pray for a healthy baby first and foremost.

Ursula Andress had her son at 44.
Jane Seymour had her twins at 45.
There's plenty of other mothers, celebs or not,
who had their children without any medical
intervention (far) past 40. My mom had me
two months before she turned 42!

Think Britney. ( ewww, yeah I know) gets married has legitimage children and now she could lose a lot of her fortune to K_Fed.
Seems a very expensive way to do things the old fashioned way.
Hollywood marriages don't last anyway.Payout time will come around eventually. So why bother?

My step mom had my little sister at 41 the only thing she did was...having sex with my dad( ).So yeah it IS possible to conceive a baby (naturally) during your forties,i know a few women who did.

According to In Touch Weekly, she had the treatments since last Feb.

Oh I'm not saying it isn't possible. For all we know Halle did it the old fashioned way- lots of sex with that hot ass boyfriend! I was just going through the physical clues from the past year. Fertility drugs can do nasty things to the body. There were times I looked pregnant and wasn't. Either way, she's pregnant!!!! And I am thrilled for her.

Told ya! If you've been through these treatments, you kinda get this radar and can tell when someone else is going through it too. Its not gaydar, but babydar.

That's great, I know she's happy.

I get what you are saying. It's like 'marriage is so permanent that I don't want to make such a serious committment but I'll have a kid with you and be linked with you the rest of my life that way'. It puzzles me that having a kid almost seems less serious and permanent to some people than marriage.
**Sorry I can't get the fucking italics to turn off....

Sorry to pee on the parade......but I can't help it, it bothers me that nobody seems to care anymore that kids out of wedlock is no big deal. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I am not saying that folks who have kids out of marriage are bad people or bad parents or that their kids won't be happy or well adjusted. It's just that Hollyweird reality and real world reality are different. Whether anybody likes it or not, kids with 2 parent families do better in life overall. Can you be unmarried and still have a 2 parent family? Sure, but the research doesn't lie and it has been shown over and over that kids born out of marriage have more problems of all types. That doesn't mean I think people should get married just because of a pregnancy or that they should stay in a bad marriage just 'for the kids'.....well, actually if there is no abuse or infidelity then I think tearing your kid's world apart just because you 'aren't happy anymore' is pretty selfish. That's another talk show altogether, I know. It's just that when average Joes do the same thing as celebs the consequences aren't as rosy because they don't have the same resources. I expect to get flamed, but I don't mind.

Anyway, I find Halle absolutely gorgeous. However, as an actress she is overrated and I'm not sure why so many people think she will be a great Mom. I think this girl is fucked up as a football bat and I feel sorry for her kid if it's a girl.

First thing, I thought, too. What is wrong with getting to know the other person and getting married before you bring a child into the situation...

I see your point, but just because someone isn't married doesn't mean they don't have two parent families. Case in point: Brangelina, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robinson, etc...

I know, and I addressed that in my post. The odds are not in their favor, though.

[greysfang]

The odds aren't in anyone's favor with more than 50% of all marriages ending in divorce.

Crumpet Like you said research doesn't lie and research does indicate that parents staying in a marriage where they are unhappy is very detrimental if not more detrimental than the effects of divorce on children. Two parents are ideal yes; however that’s two functional and stable parents. Marriage in many cases doesn’t permit parents to be 'functional or stable' due to the stress of their relationship with each other.
