Serbian women share experiences of motherhood in later decades

Several prominent Serbian women have shared their experiences of entering motherhood in their 40s and 50s, highlighting that there is no fixed timeline for parenthood. Singer Sanja Maletić became a mother at age 52 in 2024, while presenter Marija Kilibarda gave birth to her daughter at 45. Other notable figures include Tamara Grujić, who became a mother at 42 after discussing her previous pregnancy loss, and singer Goga Sekulić, who had a son at 41.

Beyond individual stories, the complexities of modern family planning are increasingly recognized. Preparation for parenthood involves various factors, including career stability, financial planning, and health considerations. As individuals navigate different life priorities, options such as egg freezing have become more common for those wishing to preserve fertility for the future, though the procedure's success depends on several medical factors including age and egg quality.
