This exactly. I hope they get married and have a bunch of kids.
She’s 33, better hurry if she wants kids!
This is dumb af. Plenty of regular career women wait longer than that to have kids. I’m pregnant now at 30 and the average age at my OB’s office is 38 (although that isn’t all first pregnancies).
OBs lie, dear. The are salesmen/women at the end of the day. And they get paid the more old hags they can extract $30,000+ from. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Often the mother and/or baby has health issues. It is so strange how this forum tries to act like waiting until you're too old to be a mom naturally is cool, when it is actually depressing (if more ways than one) and unnatural.

33 is not too old to be a mom naturally and a lot of this is dependent on your own personal genetics. There have been plenty of studies that have shown that extended fertility is related to overall longevity. So for example my grandmother had pregnancies into her late thirties and lived until mid 90s. My parents also had an accidental pregnancy at 41 that resulted in my completely normal and healthy younger brother. There’s no one in my family that has had fertility problems and they all are pretty long-lived. I’m sorry for you and your kin since apparently their eggs turn to powder at 33. But you couldn’t possibly know Taylor’s actual risk of infertility issues without knowing her family history and personal health information. And frankly if she wanted to have kids she could do that at any time she doesn’t have to wait for the first dumb jock to date her.
I have a very large family. If I look at the women in my family who gave birth in their late 30s, literally every single child had at least some issues; from relatively minor to... spending weeks in the hospital after birth, to life-threatening allergies, to speech impediments, to autism. In my very large family, it is clear the youngest child, born when mom was geriatric, is the weakest of the litter.
I was going to ignore this discussion because it's totally off-topic BUT I have a bit of experience with being a so-called "geriatric" mother.
I had my first kid when I was 33 and my last when I was 40. All 3 of them were healthy infants, and they've all grown up to be healthy and relatively successful young people. And the youngest, so far, has been probably the most (objectively) successful - she was a Rhodes Scholar finalist. I'm sorry your "very large family" has so many issues, but not everyone's family is the same.
Back to Taylor - she probably wants to have children soon for no other reason than almost all her close friends have kids. She's may be feeling a little left out.
