[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just for consideration, back in the day many women did start childbearing younger, but many also kept going for a long time. My grandmother had 6 kids between age 25 and 45. The youngest was in his 40s when she passed away. That is not unnaturally young to lose a parent. People are overstating the risks as well. OP you seem genetically well positioned to at least give it a try, but don’t delay further![/quote] Well, they probably also had multigenerational family support - which is something that OP's kids definitely won't have. My parents were "progressive" in the 70s by having children in their 30s, as were my husbands. 3 of four are now dead. The fourth has dementia. "Healthy" people who lived "healthy" lifestyles...risks can't be overstated. But they can be easily ignored by the arrogant and self-interested. [/quote]
