An impolite former schoolmate had even told her: ‘I went to school with you, and my 2nd grandchild is due the same month as you!’
TV producer Chezzi, who shares daughters Scout, four, and Sailor, eight, with husband Grant, explained that despite the negativity, she has received plenty of positive messages from friends living in other parts of Australia.
‘But on the flip side, many of my friends 40+ living in Sydney or Melbourne are only now trying to have their first child,’ she explained.

Chezzi explained she’d tried to fall pregnant before turning 40, before three tragic miscarriages made this goal impossible.

In true Chezzi style, the bubbly star completed her post with a touch of humour.
‘When I had Scout 5 years ago I was labelled a ‘geriatric mother’ in the medical profession. And again this time I have that sexy label – ‘geriatric mother’!’ she mused.
‘But I’m pretty calm and confident this time around.. there’s something you don’t have when you’re really young and that is wisdom.. and my ripe old age of 40 I feel I have plenty,’ she declared.
Grant and Chezzi’s baby is due on March 1, 2021.
