AceShowbiz - Trina McGee, the beloved actress from "Boy Meets World", has defied conventional wisdom by announcing her pregnancy at the age of 54. In her heartfelt announcement, McGee credited natural remedies and a stress-free environment for reversing early menopause, allowing her to conceive.
The actress, who is best known for playing Angela Moore on the ABC sitcom, opened up about her journey in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight. McGee and her husband of nearly two decades, Marcello Thedford, had long hoped to welcome a child of their own. After trying to conceive naturally and even considering IVF, they ultimately turned to holistic and organic approaches. McGee revealed that she found help in Belize, where Thedford has a cultural background. There, they worked with the Garifuna people, who recommended medicinal herbs that played a crucial role in reversing her menopausal symptoms.
"At the tender age of 54, I have found myself pregnant," McGee announced on Instagram, asking her 96,000 followers for prayers and well-wishes for a safe delivery. She shared that she has decided to take a break from social media to focus on her pregnancy and family. Her announcement was accompanied by the nostalgic tune of The Supremes' "Baby Love."
The actress, who has three children from previous relationships, spoke about her fourth pregnancy as a "miracle, beautiful, and triumphant" experience. McGee expressed her immense joy and dismissed any negativity, stating, "I have been blessed, and that's it." To maintain a low-stress environment, McGee consciously avoids negative media content and stays away from toxicity.
While McGee's pregnancy is extraordinary, it is part of a growing trend where older women, including celebrities like Janet Jackson and Naomi Campbell, are choosing to have children later in life. This aligns with broader societal changes where women are prioritizing their careers and personal growth before starting families. However, it's important to note that pregnancies after the age of 35 come with increased risks such as miscarriage and congenital disorders, due to a decrease in egg quality.
