A MUM-OF-FIVE who is currently pregnant with twins at 44-years-old has hit back at people who say she\u2019s \u201ctoo old\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tanis Larson says that her mission is to \u201cchallenge the narrative of pregnancy over 35\u201d.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

She adds that people question whether her pregnancies were planned and ask her if she \u201crealises how old she will be\u201d when her babies leave school.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Content creator Tanis had her first child aged 32, her second aged 35 and her third aged 38.<\/p>\n

She had her fourth child aged 40, her fifth aged 42 and is currently pregnant with twins, she assumes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is so nice to see as I'm 33 dealing with infertility and thought it's too late for me,\u201d a second said. \u201cI still have time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs someone who just turned 30 and had all the people asking when I\u2019ll have kids, this makes me feel good,\u201d a third wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tanis replied that she \u201cwas there\u201d too with people questioning her family plans when she turned 30.<\/p>\n
