Y'all, I can't imagine being pregnant at 23, like...you have more energy but raising a kid for the rest of my 20s. Wishing her all the health and happiness with this pregnancy.
I have never thought of it from that perspective, and obviously would never know, but this is a very interesting "what if". It depends on so many factors. I had my first 2 kids before I turned 25, older of them would have turned 20 this year. I have never regretted a thing. Body recovered easily, I have just graduated from college and worked for some time (it was not in the US), had a feeling that I had some life and never felt like they have taken anything away from me. During every pregnancy I would enroll into some classes or something, used the downtime to advance my education or career, and overall felt more in control of my life. For me it was a great time to have children. I struggle with my younger ones way more. The middle child of my partner had 3 kids between 25 and 30 and is completely drowning. So it's very different.
Thank you for sharing a part of your life and experience. In comparison to my comment, what you shared is what I would prefer if I had the opportunity to have children young. In the case of celebrities, they have access to care and help due to their money/privilege but still, I'm always surprised when young actresses get pregnant at the height of their momentum,
It does look potentially threatening to her career, since I wouldn't call it a height, it seems more of a recent breakthrough to me. And also given her very fresh, childlike, ingenue image, she may loose some points with stupid employers. But. One -- career is not everything. Two -- nobody said, it's over. I am personally more annoyed by choice of a partner. There. Grandma has spoken. Picture me as Maggie Smith.
