Janet Jackson and other mature moms should say how they're getting pregnant

First, mazel tov, Janet Jackson! Getting pregnant isn’t easy when you’re two weeks shy of 50 — just a success rate of 3 or 4%. In vitro fertilization was likely involved. Or an egg donor. Or another modern reproductive hack.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I benefitted from scientific help — and I’m thankful every time I look at my twin girls.

But it’s time these, um, mature celeb moms tell the world how they’re doing it.

Geena Davis had a daughter at 46, twins at 48. Halle Berry was 47, Kelly Preston, 48.
There’s not some magic stork flying above Cedars Sinai or a fertility dust add-in in the juice at craft services. There’s a doctor, drugs, often a donor and, crucially, money. Lots of it.

Until we start talking about it, infertility will remain a shame-inducing experience for many non-famous women.

What do you say, Janet? Wouldn’t it be nice to have an actual answer next time some scribe asks, “What have you done for us lately?”
