...and day care is good for children’s socialization.

This is feminist guilt BS.

Yes, childbirth was the #1 leading cause of death of women of childbearing age thoughout human history until modern medicine was able to change that.

My grandmother had 7 children and died at 95.

These people definitely have their own agenda.

My grandmother died at 61 after 12 children.

BUT this is the conclusion as to why she died so young.

I had Pregnancy Induced Hypertention with each of my children. This is something that can progressively get worse with every pregnancy. With my first, it took 4 weeks for my BP to normalize. After the second, 10 weeks.

My grandmother was diagnosed with high BP. She was put on blood thinners for a while. Suddenly at 61, her BP dropped dangerously low and within a couple days, she died.

NOW we think that she may have had PIH and the BP problem was just that. After her 12th child, it took years to drop back to normal. Modern medicine would have found this so it really had nothing to do with the amount of children she had.

And BTW her oldest son died of Childhood Diabetes. How many times does that happen now a days?

Indeed it can be lonely...but I have found others, but they mainly hide in a dark closet(no not THAT closet) so to speak.

But hey, it’s a nice city for the most part and we are lucky we can actually afford to live here.

Apparently they forgot my husbands grandmother in their study. She just turned 93 and delivered all ten children at home. First time she was in a hospital was 6 years ago when she had her gallbladder removed. Still lives alone. She was cutting her own lawn till last year.

Exactly. Evaluations with such a wide disparity of daily living conditions and medical resources are worthless.

Unfortunately, all these anecdotal examples of women having large families and living to an advanced age tell us nothing at all about the statistical average results.

Any more than the statistical average tells us anything at all about the experience of a particular individual.

True what you say.
But it is posted by me for those who may take these results and apply them as facts. ie, Women with many children die early.
