[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get the worry about other Mom friends. One of my best friends just turned 40 exactly 3 weeks before I turned 50.

A lot of Natalie‘s cohorts in future preschool years are probably having their third in their late 30s and are around her same age or even their first in their early to mid 30s and will be within 7-10 years of her.

I’m not really worried about Natalie Portman making mom friends lol. [/quote]

This is pretty funny. For one thing, one of my sons best friends is a girl who's mom was 44 when she was born. Even though I was 32 when he was born we have endless things to talk about.

Two -- this pp is clearly someone for whom "mom friends" makes up a huge portion of life. I get it. But Natalie Portman's life is enormous -- acting, her book club, etc etc etc. "mom friends" will not make a dent.  [/quote]

Sorry, no. I don't look for friends at my kids school but I'm forced to be around them and the youngest ones are annoying, cliquey, loud, and go nuts trying to socially engineer play groups with kids. Older, chill, mature moms are rarer. Whether or not you want to admit it a school is a community everyone is a part of whether or not you want to make friends with people or not. You're all in it together and you're not always going to like everyone.[/quote]

This isn't a conversation that compares the "coolness" of young moms vs. old moms.

This is about women's reproductive health. Women need to understand the [b]statistical realities[/b] around their fertility and that not only is having a child later less likely, the child AND the mother are at greater risk for complications at birth and beyond.

The statistics on AMA pregnancies are out there for everyone to read, and I suggest they DO, instead of People magazine. [/quote]

Most women aren't as stupid as you seem to think they are.[/quote]

I don't think women are stupid - but they are underserved and misserved information -by society and their medical providers.  A lot of women, based on this website, don't have a firm grasp on reproductive health, risks, and realities. They just assume the fertility will be there when they want it - it may be and it may not be. Please note, there is a VERY ROBUST "infertility" section of this website, in part because women's medical providers make the same assumption you are making. There is a lot of data on this and it needs to be shared openly and honestly without judgement. [/quote]
