I don't know how I feel about this to be honest 50 seems a bit on the older side, then again she will have so much help..to each their own

I'm happy for her. Being an older mom myself I see nothing wrong with it. If it works for her then great.

Age is no indication of parenting skills

No but it does come with a higher risk of having a child with health problems.

I don't think parenting skills is the concern. At that age, health issues (for both mother and baby) would be the biggest concern.

I'm happy for her, but I do think she's a little on the old side to be pregnant. Hopefully mom and baby do just fine. I'm sure with all her money she has a team of doctors monitoring her very closely.

We'll
Of course it
Comes with risk. I'm sure she has the best doctors who ran every test and they could even be donor eggs or eggs from a previous IVF session when she was 25.

Who knows. My point was everyone deserves the chance to be a mother. So I say congrats to her

I'm sure she understands the risks involved with a mature pregnancy. However, she seems to be healthy and fit, so I wish her a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Wow, that is pretty amazing at her age. I'm guessing she had intervention. I know someone who attempted IVF at 45, was given a really small chance of it working, and despite repeated treatments, she ended up not successful unfortunately. I couldn't see myself having the stamina and energy for all that at 50, but if she does, more power to her.

from what I read she was working with specialists but hasnt said one way or the other. at 50 I imagine help was involved. either she froze her eggs years ago (which a lot of hollywood women do); or donor eggs.

I know people say oh thats great, good for her, but at 50 there are just so many risks. Genetically the risks for disorders is high. and then there's the fact that when her kid is 18 she'll be almost 70. I dont know. not my life and not for me to worry about.

If she froze her eggs or used donor eggs he risk would not be as high(assuming donor eggs were from someone younger)

Did she say she's actually pregnant or did she say she is having a child? Like is she the one carrying it?

That's what I was thinking. I'd heard she was having a baby but I assumed it was by surrogate due to her age... but maybe not.

I thought they said she was preg, other wise why would she need to "rest" and take time off if she was not carrying.

I read a statement she made to her fans stating Doctors orders; she needs to put her feet up and rest.

So she's def carrying.

The Jackson's are the original Kardashians, they are just smarter.

She was in the middle of a tour - a tour that was not selling. All the months of planning, money, costumes, expenses...you don't just up and say, OK today we're gonna scrap all that and get pregnant. It doesn't compute. This is a convenient way to cancel her poorly selling tour and gain sympathy - she may be having a baby, but I would bet a surrogate is carrying.

Given her age...... I would be shocked if she is the one carrying it. She can say anything she wants but I don't believe it.

Halle Berry was just a few years younger than Janet is now with her second.

No surrogate there.

There are a few Hollywood women that were PG in their late 40s and no one made a big deal.

Its because its Janet that now its newsworthy and "crazy"
