Born and raised in Healdsburg, California, Liz Angeles graduated high school with honors in Las Vegas and subsequently attended UNLV majoring in Physical Education and Romance Languages. Since her first story written at age 8, "The Brave Skunk Family," Liz always knew she wanted to be a writer, but her highly social nature distracted her for decades. Self-employed most of her life, she has reinvented herself many times. A self-taught painter who was prolific during her late 30s and early 40s, [lizangeles.com], Liz had also been licensed as a court reporter and realtor in both California and Nevada. Other occupations since puberty have included waitress, actress, model and sales rep. In her 30s, Liz wrote many poems and even customized poetry for friends and clients, as well as marketing copy for brochures and business cards she also designed. Her friends call her the "Slogan Vixen," and claim she missed her calling--that she should have been in advertising. From 2001-2003 Liz wrote many articles for the Santa Monica Observer until she became editor. In 2009, she went on to become the editor for ABILITY Magazine. Before turning 50, Liz published her first book, 45 and Pregnant. Currently a single mother living in Santa Monica, Liz's passion for over two decades has been to make people feel amazing with stress-reducing 'blizful' massages--often to A-list celebrities. She is currently expanding her practice into Wellness Director with BLIZFUL.life: guiding others towards health, vitality, longevity, joy and peace. She enjoys comedy, yoga, painting, ping pong, hiking, dancing, traveling, massages, film, music, good books and most of all ... her wonderful daughter.

A MUST READ FOR MIDDLE-AGED PREGNANCIES

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2015

Verified Purchase

45 and pregnant would have sounded a death knell a few decades ago, yet for Liz Angeles in her book of the same name, she dispels by personal experience many of the fears and myths that accompany this subject. She adds yet a more daring caveat as she delivered at home naturally w/o drugs.
It’s obvious she is unique and explorative as she legally changed her last name in homage to Los Angeles, her favorite city.
She is a very clever, humorous yet informative writer. I was unable to put it down. She includes everything a middle aged mother might want to know about getting pregnant, delivery and early childhood management. She has a light hearted , joyful delivery of all you might need to know if you are considering middle aged motherhood, and in so doing adds a great romp of a read as her humor carries all of her serious information quickly and thoroughly to her reader.

Easily the Worst Book I've Ever Read

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

I've read over 1000 books in my life, and I can say without equivocation that this is the worst book I have ever read. It's total fluff, completely devoid of any sort of useful information, and offers no utility whatsoever. The only redeeming quality is that it's written at about a 3rd grade reading level, so it's easy to get through quickly. This book is the literary equivalent of junk food and is really just the story of a vapid woman who got lucky and became pregnant in spite of herself. I'll save you the cost and time of reading it yourself and give you the quick bullet points of the info it provides.

How did Liz conceive naturally after age 40, you ask? I hope you're not looking for actual advice, tips, foods, supplements, or methods to improve fertility because Liz's advice in this arena is basically, "do nothing". Though, I guess I'm being a bit glib because she didn't really "do nothing". She more went out and shacked up with an irresponsible, unemployed womanizer who keeps multiple women pregnant at any given time. So there's that. Maybe you can try that too.

OK, so now you've found yourself pregnant and are wondering what to eat. Good! Liz has you covered. Should you take prenatal vitamins? Eat a special diet, take care to work with a nutritionist, and be sure to avoid foods that might lead to diabetes especially given that you're over 40? Nah, forget all that nonsense. All you need to do is be sure to eat frozen yogurt each day and put fruit on top of it.

What about medical care during your pregnancy? Should you be sure to see your OB regularly to get checkups and be sure that everything is going well, especially since you're 40+ and decades worth of statistics puts you at a high risk for complications? NO WAY. Liz says that statistics are bollocks and doctors are idiots. Don't waste money on that crap and instead use that money for stuff like acupuncture and massages/facials. Oh, and if you get sick? Here's Liz's advice. Tylenol and other man made meds are all out. It doesn't grow in the ground, so it's no good. What about smoking weed and drinking wine? Those are natural and Liz says that if it relaxes you, go for it. Again, recall that statistics and science is just fancy bollocks and we should instead listen to Liz. JUST DON'T GET CRAZY! However, if you do find that you're sick with something that weed and liquor won't cure, just walk around without your shoes/socks on. This will ground you and will heal anything that could possibly be wrong.

I wish I could say I was exaggerating about any of the above, but I'm not. This book is irresponsible at best and could be downright dangerous in the wrong hands. I really want to know what kind of publisher would read this and think that it was suitable for public consumption. Like I said, this is an inane story by a vapid woman who was lucky enough to get pregnant in spite of herself, and it offers nothing of value to anyone who really wants to try getting pregnant over age 40. I'm sending this book back because the mere thought of this woman getting even one thin dime from me makes me feel ill. Save your money and get something else.

I really enjoyed reading this book because it was a real life ...

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2015

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed reading this book because it was a real life experience on what a woman's life was like prior to getting pregnant and prior to the baby coming. Then it takes you through the entire birth experience. It made me feel like I was there with her. It also really helps illustrate that things just don't happen until the time is right. Pretty funny in some parts. Made me wish I had done more planning or research before I had my kids. I learned a lot and it was very inspiring. I think a lot of women can get a lot out of this, no matter what stage of life or pregnancy they are in.

Excellent book for woman in their 40's and young women 20, 30, and of course u 40s. I enjoyed the humor written my the Liz Angel

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2015

It was written in a way that I felt I was with her in certain situations, she had me smiling, and laughing and tearing up in places. She explained in full and fully understanding the birth of Deja. Stories of a first time mom at 45 , which not many women could handle, but
she turned to friends, read books and ask a lot of question to mid wives. I just enjoyed book and had a hard time putting the book down. I highly recommend and encourage, no matter your age, this book has something for every age ....... Happy reading. Jan P. AZ

invaluable book on fertility and pregnancy, especially for us older moms

Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2015

Verified Purchase

This was a delightful book to read. There are so many books on fertility and childbirth that are dense and difficult to get through, but 45 and Pregnant is a quick and easy read by a genuine and remarkable woman. It's entertaining, unintimidating, and will leave you chuckling out loud. It is also intimate, informative, and provides many gems of wisdom. It will inspire women to imagine a healthy and natural experience of conception, pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood with an ease that, especially for women in their 40s, may otherwise seem daunting and unattainable.

While this is a sweet and romantic story to read

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

While this is a sweet and romantic story to read, it has absolutely nothing to do with HOW to conceive naturally. It's one of these unique incidents when someone completely by accident happens to get pregnant late in life. Once again, nice tale, but not much benefit to those who struggle with conceiving

Pretty Useless

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

I really don’t know what to say other than this is the most useless « book » I’ve ever read. Money and time I’ll never get back reading some lady’s gushy diary, one wonders if it was edited at all and it’s a wonder it was even published. Title is misleading as she explains nothing about « how she conceived » other than she got lucky. Thanks for nothing!

Don't waste your time or your money

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 26, 2017

Possibly one of the worst books ever written. Simply one woman's self-indulgent ego trip, no real information, just me, me, me. Tedious, badly written and pointless. Don't waste your time or your money.
