Recently, actress Kelly Preston announced that she was pregnant at the age of 47. This surprised many and made people wonder how good modern medicine is. However, she is considered a baby compared to people who have become pregnant in their fifties. "Most women can get pregnant with donor eggs," said Kreiner, the medical director of East Coast Fertility. The only reason that wouldn’t be possible would be when you have problems with your uterus. Preston also has used donor eggs. It is actually rare to naturally become pregnant after 45. Kort says he has about a 70 percent success rate when women in their mid- to late 40’s use donor eggs. But it costs $20,000 to $30,000 per attempt to get pregnant with donor eggs. There are also consequences to late pregnancy. Although it is deemed quite safe, parents may be too old. Some parents will be in their seventies when their kids graduate high school.This is good news that people now have the opportunity to choose whether or not they will have a child in their late forties. It is helpful for couples that have been struggling to decide whether or not they will have a child and changed their mind in their forties. Not everyone will be fond of this, but it will give people a chance to have a child, which might have not been possible yet because of a late marriage. People will argue that having children at the age of 47 will be too late and not good for the kids, but this decision was probably thought out for a while and the couple obviously has a good plan. I think that this is one of the good things that are happening with the improving technology of our time.
