Star of "Always Say Always" Maria Poroshina also at the beginning of the year she gave her husband, actor Ilya Drevnov, a girl - Glafira. Now the actress has four daughters: Seraphim, Agrafena, Glafira and elder Polina, born in a marriage with actor Gosha Kutsenko.

It is generally accepted that being a mother is the highest privilege of a woman, but some modern ladies still do not share these ideas. Supporters of the childfree movement defend the right of women not to love children, be proud of their childlessness and be considered happy due to their achievements in other areas of activity. In some professional communities, it is customary to delay motherhood due to the so-called "specificity of production." This number includes, for example, models, athletes, ballerinas ... In the ballet world, childlessness for a woman for a long time considered almost unnatural. Pavlova, Karsavina, Ulanova, Plisetskaya, Margot Fonteyn and other great stars of the scene did not have children; Pavlova generally called herself a "nun of art."

However, now the situation is changing even in ballet: modern Giselle and Odette-Odile no longer agree to lay their lives entirely on the altar of art, and Ulyana Lopatkina directly declares that “giving life to a new person is much more important than dancing Swan Lake.” Ballerina Ilze Liepa, who became a mother after 40, believes that everyone has their own path and it is not worth judging who has a higher one. About myself I can say that for me my daughter Nadya is the greatest happiness, reward, God's grace, - says the ballerina. Ilze waited for her only child for many years, worried, upset, but never despaired. "We prayed, hoped and believed. And our hope came true," she says.

It's never too late for those who know how to wait, and proof of that - famous couple Anton and Victoria Makarskie. The stars of the Russian musical lived together for 13 years before they had their first child. My first pregnancy in my life came when I was 38 years old, - says Victoria. - Despite the rumors and speculation of the yellow press, we did not use any modern achievements of medicine. Two years after the birth of her first child, daughter Masha, Victoria carried her second child, her son Vanya. Then she was already 42. Natural pregnancy does not happen late, - says the actress. - Of course, if from the age of 15 you lead a disorderly sexual life and poison the body with birth control pills, then at 25 it may be too late to give birth. The body is worn out. And if the way of life is right, then why not? My great-grandmother gave birth to her fifth child at 45 and always told me that with each pregnancy the body gets younger. And my grandmother lived to be 94 years old, being in a clear mind and solid memory.

The later a woman decides to have a child, the more she is exposed to all sorts of alarmists with their fears, doubts, warnings regarding everything - from the health of the future child to purely domestic difficulties. Actress Olga Kabo gave birth to a son, Vitya, at the age of 44, when her eldest daughter, Tanya, was almost 14.

The actress was not only not afraid to give birth "late", but also fully nourished her Vityusha breast milk. This creates an absolute unity between mother and child, not to mention how important it is for the health and immunity of the baby ... "- says Olga.
