And helped suppress wages by doubling the workforce.
Feminism was a complete disaster.
My Mum was 37 when i was born...2 years later she had my kid brother...
People have really bought into women’s lib. All girls are taught to put off marriage and pursue jobs/careers. Population statistics show a fertility decline in human females starting at age 25. Women need to know that.
There are a lot of factors involved in fertility, and it’s difficult to do any real research as opposed to just crunching numbers using vital-stats data.
I had my first baby at 24 and my 10th at 45. Historically, this is not that unusual, although societal nutrition levels have affected the average fertile years in certain times and places.
The vast majority of women can get pregnant in their 40’s without any help from fertility doctors. So many women I’ve known have had children up into their late 40’s, much to the surprise of them and their husbands.
Mom was 17.
Dad was 22.
Never asked…
Times change. My grandfather was one of 13. His first mother died before she was 30 having had 7 kids. His father remarried and they had 6 more kids. This was in the 1920’s.
We have 3 sons, my wife was 33, 35, and 39. No problems at all getting pregnant or with the pregnancy each time. Guess we’re lucky.
Hint: they (celebrity whores) lie, and women who fall for that nonsense live lives of desperation.
A relative had 2 children in her teens, then had healthy twins at 39, and she wasn’t even trying. A 21 year gap in the children’s ages.
Plenty of women have fully natural pregnancies and healthy babies in their early 40s...
HOWEVER, and this is a BIG however, there are far higher risks for complications and as the article truthfully states, fertility is much less at that age.
If your goal is to have children, like it or not, peak fertility for women is from their teens to 20s by 30s it is dropping and by 40s the window is rapidly closing.
What Does happen with these Celebs I. Their 40s having children is most are having some sort of help, which is never talked about. So it sets up a complete false narrative and unrealistic expectations.
If your goal is marriage and children, your best bet is to not put it off.
I say this as someone who has had children in his 20s through his 40s, and my partner is the same age as I am.
Not only having them younger more likely from a fertility standpoint, believe me dealing with a young child in your 20s is a hell of a lot easier than doing so in your 40s
When you have a staff of poorly paid illegal alien immigrants to care for your child it is easy. Kids are merely a fashion accessory.
It’s not unusual for women to have babies in their forties.
My grandmother had her forth when she was 45. I had my eighth when I was 39.
The ones on birth control most of their lives might be surprised that it’s hard to start having kids when they begin trying in their forties though.
