The Oscar-winning actress, Anne Hathaway, with her unexpected pregnancy at 43 years old is drawing attention to an important medical reality: while fertility declines significantly with age, spontaneous pregnancies can still occur, and many women over 40 go on to have healthy pregnancies with appropriate prenatal care.
During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Hathaway admitted she and husband Adam Shulman were caught off guard when they learned they were expecting their third child. "It's amazing. I mean, we knew what we were doing but we were so shocked it worked," Hathaway joked, adding that she and Shulman now call the pregnancy their "buzzer beater."
