A handful of people expressed concerns over the latepregnancy, as a TikTok user commented: “Did she still have her period? I could still be bleeding at 64?!?!”
A person wrote: “That’s so irresponsible.”
Someone else penned: “This is liketeenage pregnancy.”
“Congradolences,” an observer quipped.
A commentator added: “She gave y’all grand-siblings.”
“Is that even allowed?” a netizen asked.
An additional viewer noted: “This is not ok.”
She has also spoken out about the hunt for the father of her unborn child
Suni has continued to share updates on her mother’s pregnancy, frequently highlighting the search for “Reggie,” her mom’s 48-year-old ex-boyfriend, who appears to be the father.
On September 25, Suni shared avideo on TikTokin which her mother admitted that she had opted for an abortion. Then, on September 26, the 64-year-old was filmed trying to get ahold of Reggie to sort things out.
“You have not been answering. So I’m out here looking for you now.”
According to the clip,abortionplans appeared to be out the window, as Suni exclaimed: “You have a whole child on the way, you know, and my mom did not deserve the way you have been treating her.”
On September 27, Suni announced onTikTokthat while she and her mother were still on the hunt for Reggie, they would take a pregnancy test and undergo DNA testing to prove that the situation was real.
“I’m gonna get thispregnancytest and then show it to him,” the 64-year-old said, before arguing that Reggie was “such a fraud.”
The pregnant lady added: “I’m gonna put your a*s on child support.”
Later that day, the infuriated expecting woman seemingly still pondered getting an abortion, as she wasfilmedsmoking a cigarette despite Suni’s warning that it was unhealthy to do so while pregnant.
“Maybe I get anabortion,” the 64-year-old said.
In the following days, Suni continued to document the search for Reggie, as more recent updates showed that her mother had still not undergone an abortion.
Despite previously confirming her pregnancy with an alleged ultrasound, the 64-year-old agreed to take another test in aclip uploadedon October 1, which again showed a positive result.
A woman’s peak reproductive years are between the late teens and late 20s, theAmerican College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists(ACOG) explains.
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, as per the ACOG.
Menopause, a natural part of aging for women that occurs when theirovariesstop producing hormones and menstrual periods stop permanently, typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55.
During the menopause stage, it’s not possible to become pregnant naturally because a woman’s periods have ended, according toHealth.
A professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology toldBored Pandathat it was unlikely the woman was naturally pregnant
The oldest verified mother to conceive naturally (listed currently as of 26 January 2017 in the Guinness Records) is Dawn Brooke, who conceived a son at the age of 59 in 1997.
“Her case is often cited as the record for the oldest known natural conception,”James Walker, a professorof Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Leeds Institute of Medical Research at St James’s University Hospital, UK confirmed.
He toldBored Pandain an email: “It’s rare for women over 50 to conceive naturally, as menopause typically occurs between 45 and 55.”
Commenting on the TikToker’s claims, Professor Walker said: “There I suspect this is a donor eggIVF pregnancy.”
“These risks become more significant for women in their 50s or older, whether the pregnancy is natural or through assisted reproductive technology,” Professor Walker said.
According to the scholar, the key risks includediabetes. Higher age increases the likelihood of developing gestational diabetes, which can affect both maternal andinfant health.
“There I suspect this is a donor egg IVF pregnancy,” the expert said
Professor Walker further outlined the following risks associated with pregnancy at an advanced age, including hypertension and preeclampsia, since older mothers have a higher risk of high blood pressure and preeclampsia—a potentially dangerous pregnancy complication that can lead to maternal death or prematurity.
