AT recent times mothers grow up fast

One of the most famous sports families has a new addition. Double Olympic champion and six-time biathlon world champion Olga MEDVEDTSEVA (PYLEVA) at the age of 39 gave her husband Valery a daughter. And it is not unique: in recent years, moms are rapidly growing up. Is it worth giving birth at an age when, theoretically, it is already possible to become a grandmother, our experts argue.

Previously, doctors, having learned the age of the newly-minted mother, would only sigh: old-bearing. This cute "diagnosis" was given to all women who have crossed the 25-year mark. And it doesn’t matter that your body is strong, like that of a steppe mare, but breast milk enough with a vengeance. Old. Giving birth. And everything is here. Now, it seems, the opposite is true: many ladies only after 35 - 40 think about adding to the family.

At Medvedtseva newborn daughter - the fourth. The girl was also named Olya - in honor of her mother. The height of the baby is 54 cm, weight 3.4 kg - such a strong butuz. When three years ago a former biathlete Valery Medvedtsev, the champion of the 1988 Olympic Games, was picking up his wife from the hospital, the employees of the medical institution told them to go to the track: come again. Olga joked:

And what? When you call, we'll come.

Medvedtseva repeated the achievement of a volleyball player Irina Kirillova. But for Ira it was an even greater feat: at the age of 39 she became a mother for the first time! Doctors warned that the child may have deviations. But this did not stop Kirillov. Daughter Nick, fortunately, is absolutely healthy. By the way, now Irina is 49, but she still plays for Uralochka, which confirms the conclusion of scientists: the birth of a late child gives strength and prolongs a woman's youth!

In the West, mature mothers have not shocked anyone for a long time. It is clear that the quality of life there is higher and the ladies are generally healthier, but it’s still scary to decide on this. And even though henna - they give birth almost to fifty dollars! The example of the stars inspires many to this feat.

fresh blood

Victoria Beckham gave her husband David a long-awaited daughter at the age of 37. At the same age Julia Roberts became the mother of twins, and three years later gave birth to a son. True, this time she had to resort to artificial insemination.

Jennifer Lopez first became a mother at 38 - she has twins. I got pregnant for the first time at 39 Monica Bellucci. Six years later, she decided to take this step again.

Star of the Blue Lagoon Brooke Shields I couldn’t get pregnant for a long time and even was about to go for IVF, when I suddenly found out that I was expecting a baby. At 40, she had a daughter, Grier.

Madonna gave birth to a son at 41. Became mothers at the same age Kim Basinger, Selma Hayek and Helena Bonham Carter.

Uma Thurman gave birth to a daughter at 42. As well as Susan Sarandon and Halle Berry, who, respectively, at the age of 45 and 48 repeated this feat.

In 2010, everyone was pleasantly surprised Ilze Liepa, having given birth to their first daughter, Nadezhda, at the age of 46. At 44, she became a mother twice Olga Kabo.

At 42, after 18 years of unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant, she gave birth to a son, Elisha Olga Drozdova. Marina Mogilevskaya went to the hospital at 41, Marina Zudina- at 40.

A 39 year old Svetlana Permyakova, having revealed to the world her daughter Varenka, did not hide the name of her father - 21-year-old Maxim Scriabin. Yes, the actress deliberately gave birth from a young one - and she did the right thing!

When we talk about problems with conception, we usually mean the female factor of infertility, although in men after 40-45 years, reproductive function also decreases and the risk of genetic diseases increases. But this is a general trend: each situation needs to be dealt with separately, - says the gynecologist-endocrinologist Nona Hovsepyan.

Second youth

It is clear why women decide to give birth later and later: they want to achieve material stability in order to provide the baby with everything necessary, to mature mentally for motherhood, says the psychologist. Tatiana Veselovskaya. - “Adult” mothers do not have postpartum depression: a child for them is a gift from above, not a burden. They do not spare time and money for education. However, along with this, there is a danger of “falling in love” with the baby. There were cases when, having given birth in adulthood, as they say, for herself, the woman actually isolated him from contacts with the outside world.

Today, doctors do not discourage late childbirth, but honestly warn about the risks that a woman and her long-awaited baby expose themselves to.

* There are a number of diseases, the proportion of which increases with age: diabetes, hypertension, diseases of the cardiovascular system, decreased thyroid function.

* After 30 years, the aging of the egg occurs, which can provoke genetic abnormalities.

Despite the difficulties, late motherhood brings undeniable advantages. A woman in adulthood is attentive to health - both her own and her husband's, follows all the recommendations of doctors. In addition, it has been established that mothers who have recently given birth become sharply wiser! Scientists explain this phenomenon by the emergence of new requirements that activate the activity of the brain.

* Late-birth mothers are less prone to urinary tract infections, they may have lower blood cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of stroke and osteoporosis.

* "Young old" mothers later enter into menopause Yes, and it goes easier.

In order to prevent complications, during pregnancy, all women after 35 are examined for the presence of chromosomal developmental abnormalities (Down syndrome, etc.). Unfortunately, if a defect is found, it is impossible to fix it, and the pregnancy is terminated at the request of the parents.

* Spanish Maria del Carmen(Maria del Carmen Bousada de Lara) is considered the oldest pregnant woman in the world. She gave birth to twins via IVF at the age of 66 years and 358 days. Babies Christian and Po were born in Barcelona in December 2006. But three years later, the “young” mother died of cancer. Relatives dissuaded the old woman from the decision to give birth - she went through menopause 18 years ago, and in order to buy donor eggs and sperm, Maria sold the house for 45 thousand euros. She hoped that, like her mother, she would live to be 101 years old. Did not work out...

* Oldest pregnant woman to conceive naturally is 59 years old Down Brook from the UK: in 1997 she gave birth to a son.

* Russian woman Natalya Surkova became a mother at the age of 57. The woman became pregnant naturally after a year and a half of hormone therapy.

34 years - the optimal age for pregnancy, calculated by scientists.

What will people think?

This burning topic is actively discussed on the forums. Interesting, what do you think about it? Write: or scribble a "paper" letter.

Giving birth over 40 is a bit too much, although there may be different reasons ... A woman who has given birth late should try to preserve her youth, dynamism, and beauty as long as possible. For a child, the image of a mother is very important - a bright, interesting, extraordinary, and not an aging, groaning klucker.

And I would not want my child to be born, and his mother is already in her fifth decade ... I am 18, my mother is 42, and everything is wonderful, we complement each other, and if I had just been born now, then this, it turns out, to my mother By the time I reach my age, I'll be 60...

Everything, of course, is good, but do not forget that at the age of 40, many simply cannot have children or they do not carry them, and there are a lot of such cases ... and almost all the stars who gave birth at 40 did artificial insemination, and not because that they did not have time for normal sex ... And what remains to be done by ordinary women who do not have those amounts? So I want to sincerely believe that girls who, at the age of 25 - 30, argue that they still have plenty of time, will understand that a miracle may not happen later.

And all my life I did not particularly approve of childbirth after 40. Children are pleased when their parents are young and beautiful. I gave birth to my son at 22. And I remember very well how I walked with him next to him at the graduation. I was proud that I had such a tall, handsome and wonderful son, and he was pleased that next to him was a beautiful, well-groomed and not yet old mother. And in the summer my son died. He was 20. And now I decided to get pregnant. So everyone has their own path.

As you know, happiness does not depend on age, status and financial situation. For a woman, the desire to become a mother often becomes one of her life goals. The main thing is to confidently go to your dream and not despair along the way. Our stars, who have known the happiness of motherhood after 40 years old, claim that their life with the birth of a baby has acquired a new meaning and is painted with bright colors.

Many modern women they postpone the birth of children until later, and only in adulthood do they know the happiness of motherhood. This trend is very common among celebrities who, in their 20s and 30s, simply cannot afford to “get off track” and go on maternity leave for a while.

However, the stars say that there is nothing wrong with becoming a mother when you are almost 40 or even more. On the contrary, they share their successful experience and urge women not to be afraid to give birth to children - after all, life does not end at 35!

Let's talk about famous women who quite late decided to take this important step - to give birth to a child.

Svetlana Permyakova

Celine Dion

Celine Dion herself grew up in large family, so she always dreamed that she would have many children. For the first time, Celine managed to become a mother at the age of 33 - her first son, Rene-Charles, was born. But Celine Dion accomplished the real feat when she was 42 years old - she gave her husband Rene Angelil two boys at once. So Dion's dream of a large family did come true, albeit not immediately.

Olga Drozdova

When actress Olga Drozdova was 42 years old, she gave her husband Dmitry Pevtsov a son, Elisha. For 15 years, the couple tried to have a child, but nothing worked.

Halle Berry

Although the affair with Gabriel Aubry did not bring happiness to Halle Berry, the most important thing happened in her life during this relationship - at 41, the actress became a mother for the first time (and became pregnant for the second time already at 46 - from Olivier Martinez). Holly was always critical of her age, so while she was waiting for her daughter Nala, she was terribly worried about her health and did not leave the hospitals - Berry wanted the doctors to constantly monitor her long-awaited pregnancy.
