Halle Berry is pregnant at age 46. This is usually seen as a big "at-risk" pregnancy. However, because of medical advances, it's very possible for older mothers, such as Halle Berry, to have a better chance of having a normal pregnancy and birth. Halle Berry also has diabetes, another risk for the baby. She must keep her sugar levels in order during the pregnancy. BAbies with oloder mothers are likely to have doen syndrome or heart abnormalities. Halle Berry will have top-notch medical care so she'll most likely be fine.
Okay that last sentence kind of bothered me. I'm glad that our medical advances are making these sorts of things more possible but it seems that they are only doing so for the people who can afford it. Why should any baby have to suffer because their mother cant afford fancy treatments like Halle Berry can? These medical advances should be available to everyone. I know they are expensive procedures but the next step after finding cures should be making them affordabble for the public! No one should have to suffer medically because they suffer financially in my opinion. These specific medical advances are important to me because my 40 year-old aunt is pregnant. I hope everything will go smoothly.
