[quote=Anonymous]I think this trend stems from watching so many 35+women struggle with fertility, healthy children and the energy to be a present parent. I had my kid late many younger women ask me about my experience. I tell the truth and explain that I had a premature baby who spent months in the hospital. I tell them that I have very little energy to chase after a 7 year old, work full time and deal with mid life changes. Plus many of the people who would help raise the kid are old or dead (grandparents, aunts and uncles). Most people over 35 must pay thousands for IVF. Even if insurance covers it, the damage it does to the woman's body and to the baby are just too much to stress about. The only benefit is that I have more money which ultimately goes to hire more help and take more vacations because I am so tired. If I knew that my parenting years would have been such a challenge, I would have had kids in my late 20s and early 30s. [/quote]
