Overview

  • On the Not Gonna Lie Podcast, Moore rejected the label “geriatric pregnancy” as outdated and stigmatizing women who give birth later in life.
  • She described how the U.S. health care system treats older mothers as high-risk anomalies under a one-size-fits-all, risk-focused model.
  • Moore argued that postpartum care routinely overlooks women’s health needs, leaving new mothers without individualized support.
  • In collaboration with Perelel, she is campaigning for greater postnatal funding and personalized maternity care programs.
  • She shares three children with husband Taylor Goldsmith and said many of her peers delay motherhood by choice, circumstance or biology.
