  • Hm... She's probably only got a decent shot at kids if she has them within the next 3-5 years. Anything after that and you're really rolling the dice with fertility. I think it's unlikely she will change her mind before it's too late, if she does at all

    • Rolling the dice with fertility? Women are commonly having completely healthy babies at 40 and you're saying 34 is the oldest a woman should have kids? Lmao. My mom had my brother at 43, my cousin just had her second at 41 and two of my coworkers are pregnant at 45 and 49. Get a grip old man

      • I'm not an old man, I'm a woman (not revealing if I'm old or not lol...). I never said "34 is the oldest women should have kids" you've completely fabricated that, well done. I don't give a shit what age other people "should" have children, it's not my business and I don't care that much about what a bunch of strangers are doing.

        for us girls from your late 20s your fertility starts to drop dramatically, as does your egg quality. We are born with all of our eggs and the sad truth is that they age terribly. Biologically speaking we're all supposed to be getting pregnant from our mid teens.

        It's wonderful your mum was able to have a child at 43, I'm happy to hear that, but for a lot of women that's not an option without lots of medical intervention, and even then the risk of syndromes and other health problems is dramatically increased.

        Sorry if the truth hurts. I hate it too, and I'd like everyone to have the option to easily and healthily keep having kids until later in life but science doesn't care about our feelings.
