40 Is Not "The New Fertile." Here's The Data Nobody Wants To Show You.
I've always admired Sienna Miller’s style. For twenty years she's been a fashion icon. She has that effortless bohemian cool-girl style that somehow never looks dated. But lately, her public messages about motherhood have me worried. Not for her personally. But for the thousands of young women who hang on every word from celebrities like her.
In a recent Glamour interview, Miller, now 44 and pregnant with her third child, reflected on her experiences. She had her first daughter at 29, her second at 42, and is now pregnant with this one at 44. “Having had a baby at 29, and then having a baby at 42, and now 44, it's so much easier… We don't judge men who are having kids in their 80s. Why on earth is there any sort of narrative?” she said. She called being pregnant in her forties “the best,” describing a grounded peace that her thirties lacked.
