Brigitte Neilsen shared some words of caution for women who are hoping to become mothers later in life. In 2018, the 60-year-old actress gave birth to her fifth child, daughter Frida, at the age of 55 after undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment for 13 years.
Brigitte Nielsen knows what you're thinking. At age 60, she's far too old to be a mom to a 5-year old. “Half the world was saying that when I got pregnant at 55 — including my four older sons,” says Nielsen, who gave birth to her daughter Frida, 5, when she was 55.

Can 52 year old woman get pregnant?
If you are trying to get pregnant after age 50, you will probably need some fertility help. While it's not impossible to become pregnant naturally at 50, it is very rare. Women are born with all of the eggs they will ever have. As you get older, you have fewer eggs, and they are more likely to have abnormalities.
This is Frida, the child Nielsen and her husband, Mattia Dessi, had last year, after more than a decade of failed in-vitro fertilisation attempts. The couple, who this year celebrate their 16th wedding anniversary, had been told they had only a 2.5% chance of success, but Nielsen gave birth at the age of 54.
Guys can father a child at any age, right? Well, not exactly. While it's true men continue to produce sperm into old age, it doesn't mean they'll be fertile at 50. And just as a woman's chances of getting pregnant start to decline in her mid-30s, so does a man's fertility.
Can You Get Pregnant in Menopause? No, women in menopause cannot get pregnant. After menopause, you do not produce eggs, and you can't get pregnant in a natural way. However, you might still get pregnant with the help of fresh or frozen donor eggs, or your previously frozen eggs.
That means that even though someone is older and experiencing symptoms associated with menopause, they are still fertile. If you want to be absolutely sure that you don't become pregnant, continue to use birth control until you've gone without a period for one year.

Claudia Raia says she has been suffering abuse on social media since she first revealed news of her unexpected pregnancy on Instagram. The mum-of-three was shocked by the news - more than 20 years after her other two children were born - and doctors say a natural pregnancy at 55 is incredibly rare.
While stories about women giving birth in their 50s, 60s, and even 70s make for good headlines, these pregnancies are usually accomplished with donor eggs and in vitro fertilization (IVF). There is no set oldest age when you can get pregnant naturally, but fertility starts to decline as you age.
A 60-year-old woman gave birth to twin boys after undergoing fertility treatments, Canadian national media reported Thursday. Ranjit Hayer became a mother for the first time on Tuesday at Calgary's Foothills Hospital, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
What is the oldest age a woman can get pregnant naturally?
A woman's peak reproductive years are between the late teens and late 20s. By age 30, fertility (the ability to get pregnant) starts to decline. This decline happens faster once you reach your mid-30s. By 45, fertility has declined so much that getting pregnant naturally is unlikely.
Although a man's fertility can theoretically last until death, sperm production has been found to decline from around the age of 50. Although it is still possible to conceive a child, and many men do have children in their 50s or later, it may take longer for you and your partner to become pregnant.
