Hilary Swank has announced that she is pregnant with her third child at age 52 and is due in December.

The Oscar-winning actor and her family shared the news in a social media video in which they danced with glow sticks taped to their bodies before revealing Swank’s baby bump. “A lot of people have been asking what project I’m doing next, this one releases in December,” the caption said.

Swank and her husband, Philip Schneider, also 52, welcomed twins Aya and Ohm three years ago, when Swank was 48.

Dr. Kameelah Phillips, an obstetrician-gynecologist, told CBS News that pregnancy at 52 is “extremely rare” and can involve serious medical considerations. Phillips said women in this age group face increased risks of gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, diabetes and cesarean delivery. She also said that although most women at that age are entering menopause, pregnancy can sometimes be achieved through in vitro fertilization.

In a previous interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” Swank said becoming a parent later in life allowed her first to pursue her acting ambitions and then devote herself to motherhood without being pulled in another direction.
