“It was the best thing I did”, Carolina Ferraz reveals what she learned when she got pregnant at the age of 46

Whether for professional or personal reasons, more and more Brazilians decide to become mothers over the age of 35. A woman who has children at a more “advanced” age may face certain challenges, but maturity also brings a series of advantages. Carolina Ferraz is one of the women who lived through this fascinating experience and said that her process was “revealing”.

Today the incredible.club gathered testimonials from the actress about the wonders and challenges of “late” motherhood and wants to share with you the beautiful story of the birth of little Anna Isabel. Check out!

Carolina Ferraz became pregnant with Anna Isabel at age 46 and gave birth at 47. At the time, she was married to Marcelo Marins, who expressed his desire to be a father from the beginning of the relationship. As the plastic artist still didn’t have children, this ended up becoming a couple’s dream.

Being at an “advanced” age, the actress experienced difficulties to get pregnant and decided to do an artificial insemination, which worked on the second attempt.

Before becoming the mother of Anna Isabel, Carolina Ferraz had already given birth to Valentina Cohen in 1994, aged 25. For the artist, comparisons between the two pregnancies become inevitable. “Because of her age, Isabel’s pregnancy was much more difficult,” she said.

As she opted for artificial insemination, the actress underwent a strong hormonal treatment – ​​which made her mood swing more often. However, this more challenging phase seems to have been left behind after childbirth.

“When Isabel was born, I was very calm. I wasn’t more tired than average, I didn’t have postpartum depression and I was already very willing,” she revealed. “I was very excited and I was no more tired than when I was 25 and Valentina was born. But it completely changed my life,” she added.

On her YouTube channel, Carolina said that the breastfeeding stage was very smooth. “Isabel was a suckling child. She liked it so much and it was so pleasurable that even today she would be breastfed — if she could, ”joked the actress.

The actress feels that her body recovered much faster during her first pregnancy. However, she was in no rush to lose weight and said she was only able to get back to the body she had before 3 years later.

“I had a buildup of skin on my belly because I gained weight and also because collagen is no longer the same, my metabolism is no longer the same. It only got better over time… and even then, it’s not the same. But that’s okay, I’m not 20 anymore either,” she stated.

Carolina Ferraz is fully aware that “not everything is flowers”. However, the experience of “late” motherhood brought many positive points and was, above all, a very revealing phase.

“It was a moment of perseverance. Some days I was extremely tired and felt like I could do more, because motherhood is our relationship with our best version. We want to be the best we are for our children. We want our son to receive the best, ”she revealed.

One of the positive points of pregnancy over 40, according to the artist, is that motherhood has given a new “north” to her life.

“She inspired me a lot. I think: ‘Wow, I have so much to do, my daughter is only 5 years old’. I have energy today to work that I never had before. I feel like starting over a new phase of my life. I am living the beginning of a new era and I definitely establish a direct relationship with my ‘late’ motherhood, because it gave me a boost, it gave me strength, ”she revealed.

Including, in interviews, the actress always shows herself to be a “big mother”. In conversation with UOL, Carolina said that motherhood was a transformative process: “Nothing beats the experience of having and raising my daughters”.

Although Carolina Ferraz had a healthy pregnancy, pregnancy at a more “advanced” age can bring complications to the health of mother and baby. Therefore, it is important to be aware of the possible risks and follow medical advice.

Still, we found several celebrity stories that serve as inspiration and bring hope to women who want to become mothers over 40 years old. Cameron Diaz, for example, was also a mother at the age of 47 and takes motherhood “late” with good humor: “I have to live to be 107 years old. So, no pressure!”, joked the actress during a conversation with Naomi Campbell.

In Brazil, celebrities like Luciana Gimenez, Ivete Sangalo and Ticiane Pinheiro also became pregnant after the age of 40 and serve as an example for many (future) mothers.
