Reports show that pregnancy among women in their early 20’s dropped nearly 18 percent from 1990 to 2008, but among older women, ages 40 to 44, there’s been an increase by nearly 65 percent. Although pregnancy for women in their late 40’s remained unchanged it’s worth highlighting the famous moms that accomplished this incredible life-giving feat, like the seven famous faces below.
