After years of not wanting children, everything has changed course. Why did we change our mind about having kids? What has our pregnancy journey been like? Did we have second thoughts?

About Anjelah:
Anjelah Johnson-Reyes was born and raised in San Jose, California where she grew up with four siblings in a large extended family to which she remains close. Anjelah found herself an internet sensation and pioneer in viral KZfaq videos when her notorious “Nail Salon” bit from a local comedy show was posted and received over 100 million views! Shortly thereafter she was added to the cast on the original MADtv where she trademarked her legendary character, Bon Qui Qui. Similar to the nail salon video, the Bon Qui Qui sketch caught on and have been viewed by over 75 million people. The multi-hyphenate’s popularity has translated into four successful comedy specials: That’s How We Do It” (Comedy Central), The Homecoming Show (NUVO TV), Not Fancy (Netflix) and Mahalo & Good Night (Epix). She has displayed her acting prowess both on TV and film. Some of her credits include “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Superstore,” “Moms’ Night Out,” and “Alvin & the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.” Her first book was published in 2022, Who Do I Think I Am: Stories of Chola Wishes and Caviar Dreams, a hilarious and touching memoir full of memorable anecdotes on how a Latina dynamo was able to forge ahead and become successful.

My Mom had her first baby girl at 20. Her last baby girl at 40. There were 5 of us in between. It was the 50s n 60s. Birthcontrol was still taboo. She enjoyed her babies she had at 37 and 40 more than the other 5 of us. She didn't have time to enjoy us. She was too busy teaching us and worrying where the next meal would come from. With my baby sisters they had the resources so they didn't have to worry. The rest of us were gone by the time the baby was 6. So they only had the two girls and the money to do things for them and with them. There's definitely something to be said for having children in your 40s.

My son is now 16 i had him at 43...i don't regret one min...and have encouraged many to consider having a child or adopting because it's a Beautiful experience.

Please remember that before aged 38 on you really have to be in the relationship you like to be in to be able to have kids. Windows start to close with our bodies around that time frame... I waited around to meet the right man and now I am in menopause. I can't have kids unless I adopt. I wanted my own child.

The ONLY downside is I only had her for 42 years (she died at the age of 84). But they were wonderful years, and I’m grateful for every one of them. May God continue to bless you both as you venture into parenthood! Sending much love your way💕💕💕

I think the process was so wonderful as I was in great shape! I was working with a trainer 4 times a week and eating a healthy diet! Fun is that at every pediatric visit I would tell the doctor I kept her alive for another visit. It was a running joke. My daughter is 18 now and healthy and happy! 41 year olds can have a healthy pregnancy, delivery and child birth.

Great story… thank you for sharing. I have a friend who got pregnant at age 46 after almost 20 years of trying to get pregnant naturally. They didn’t do any IVF or any interventions, they had basically given up and accepted their lives without children. Until one day, she started throwing up a lot, her menstruation was off but she just thought it was perimenopause due to her age. Went to doc eventually because the nausea wouldn’t subside…did blood test, and boom. Shocked everyone in the family and they are soooooo overjoyed! There is NOTHING like parenthood. Nothing.

The look on your face when you saw the pregnancy test was positive made me cry. I remember that feeling. I wasn't supposed to be able to be pregnant. Scared, hopeful, tired (waiting is like holding your breath for so long and you don't realize that you're doing it). Congratulations to you and Manny. You're going to be the funnest Mom out there. Your daughter is going to be smart, sassy, very verbal and observant. The fun part is when you realize they're smarter than you are and you kinda throw your hands up and roll with it. I have a 26 year old son and it's a great ride. You'll be in my prayers every night.

Thank you for sharing your experience. My husband and I got married at 30yrs old. We were in agreement- no kids. We love kids but we personally didn’t want to have children. I lost my mom just two years before my marriage. 3 1/2 years into my marriage, 5 years after my mom died, I woke up one morning thinking about how much I loved her and how much I missed saying “mom” and the love behind me calling her that. I then realized I didn’t want to live my life with never hearing that word “mom” said to me! The love that is within that word is overwhelming. I loved my mom so much and I then realized that the connection I had with her was something I didn’t understand until that moment. That connection we have with our parents is never-ending. We can remarry if we lose a mate, but who is able to replace our mom or dad? No one! That’s when I knew that I wanted to have children and that having them would be a blessing I didn’t deserve, but needed and more importantly, wanted. Hey, it’s not easy being a parent by no means. And truly no one should ever guilt someone into having children. It is a very personal decision. The fact that you didn’t rush into it shows great wisdom on you and your husband’s part. You both will enjoy parenthood with all its ups and downs. My boys are now 18 & 15 years old and I swear to you I fall deeper in love with them with every passing day! I wish you and your husband all the best. Enjoy each day of your journey. It’s precious and it flies by. Much love to you both ❤

I love how open you are with not making plans and seeing how you feel once the baby comes. That's the healthiest thing you can do honestly.

Thank you for highlighting the part about not making plans and God giving us the babies we NEED rather than our “dream child.” It’s helping me to cool it with the unrealistic expectations and to just take “baby steps” at a time lol with making plans and going by how I feel rather than exhaust myself. I can’t believe this is happening, but at the same time I can because last year God was preparing my heart for it. I’m so excited for our little one. 🙌❤️🤰

My husband and I have two boys. When they were young, the days were long and the years were short. Now they are both college aged and are easily the most meaningful and rewarding part of our lives (next to our relationship with Jesus). They are decent, nice people and we are so blessed that God chose us for them. Having children is really hard when they are small, but the older they get, it gets easier. You won't regret it. If they are raised properly, they will bring you more joy than you could ever have imagined. Congratulations.

Afterward, I realized that it wasn't the time for me to be a parent.My husband is a much better choice ,by God? He's a great dad, and the other guy wasn't the right person for me to have children with. The other guy was abusive and took me for granted. I'm not sure if you will understand, but that's on you. I'm good with my choices.

If baby isn’t talking yet (I would guess he/she might be around seven months now) I would highly recommend learning some beneficial words in sign language. I did this with my youngest, words like up, down, hungry, thirsty, all done, all the things a little one might need to communicate. She was the least frustrated of my three children because she could communicate needs before she could articulate them. I believe in the depths of my souls that teaching her sign made all the difference in her young years.

Listening to your story, I can recall the moment I found out I was pregnant, after 8yrs of trying, specialists, treatments, IVF then decided to stop two years later we get pregnant, I took so many tests 7 to be exact, then it was confirmed. Best feeling ever. Now I have two babies under 2.

You are such an awesome story-teller!! Congrats on your pregnancy, I'll be praying for you and your family. Very exciting!! My mom was 39 when she had me (planned/wanted) and she is the best mom. I don't know what I'd do without her. She's also the most fantastic grandma to my babies and my brother's kids. I've known others to have healthy babies in their mid-40's. Whatever God has planned for you, I'm sure it's going to be amazing. Lots of love!

Omg! I’ve been on the same infertility road! I had fibroid’s too & my husband had the same issues he had to have surgery. I had 2 more fibroid removal surgeries & ended with a hysterectomy. We suffered 4 1/2 yrs of infertility treatments. A couple of years down the heartache road lead us to adopt two of the greatest gifts I could ever receive. I have so many life stories that I could write a book of which I couldn’t ever imagine & we’r still being blessed. My kids are 30 & 28. I turn 69 in October but trust me you could use my life’s experiences for comedy material. I enjoy your comedy personality, you go girl! God’s greatest blessings to you & family 🙏

AWEEEE!! ¡Congratulaciones! “You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Praying for blessings throughout your pregnancy!!! I do believe your tía blessed you! The last time I saw mi abuela before she past away, my mom asked her to pray over me. None of us really understood what she was saying, but just like your story, 🙊😭 the blessing poured out of her and I felt something from God 🥹

Aw, Anjelah! I’m so happy for you and Manny! Having a child adds to a person’s life. I’m a 75 year old retired OB RN and I have seen so much in all my years. You and Manny are going to have a richer future, experiences, adventures and a whole lotta love ❤️. Boy or girl doesn’t matter. Just the love and follow your instincts. You will know what to do for your baby. God gives us that as women. OB nurses have the ability to know how to care for their babies and a patient’s baby. Believe me. God gives us all we need. Embrace it and keep smiling!

I had my first three children before turning 28 and then unexpectedly welcomed a baby at 37. My mom had me when she was 42, and I disliked when people mistook her for my grandma. Now, with my older kids grown, we often hear that we look like siblings, which I find amusing. However, I find the greatest joy in parenting my youngest. Age has brought maturity, patience, and resilience, allowing me to overcome childhood trauma. My marriage is now stronger and less chaotic. While there's a tinge of guilt regarding my oldest, I like being a young mom and we have a great relationship but being an “older” mom is the best 😊

I feel you on so much of your story, Anjelah. I'm 37 and have PCOS and have known since I was young that I'd more than likely have issues. Got married at 27, got pregnant at 29 after getting oral med treatment, then stopping when it didn't work. Got pregnant after a couple months of giving up along with being diagnosed with diabetes t2, had a miscarriage at 8 weeks and have not been able to conceive since then and tried IUI last month, unsuccessfully. My A1C went up after having to stop one diabetes med for possible pregnancy. And now I have to get it back down so I can try again. Asking for prayer for myself and hubby (Joe & Ronnie). I have faith God is in control, as He made this all possible from the beginning (won't go into all those details). But, I pray for everyone going through infertility! May the Lord strengthen you, keep you at peace, and provide for the finances as it can get TOO expensive. I pray that IVF gets approved for insurance one day! ❤ Anjelah and those who have the means to do IVF are SO BLESSED.

Thank you for being so open about your journey through all of this and sharing it publicly. I am really happy for your whole family! It’s going to be such a huge blessing. You are living in your purpose and it’s a reminder that we never know what the most high has planned for our lives but we have to just roll with it the best we can. How cool is it to realize you actually were destined to be a mom after all these years of thinking otherwise. I am 43 years old and my husband and I don’t have children. We are dog parents and are a good Aunt/Uncle but kinda like you, just didn’t see children of our own ever being a thing. So I can imagine how it must have felt to all of a sudden decide that you actually do want to have a baby. Not only did you want a baby, the Lord was going to see to it one way or another! That’s how I know this is exactly where you are supposed to be. That’s amazing to me! Sending you lots of love and well wishes from Louisiana 💞
