Do you understand that we don't plan our childbearing around seeing our grandchildren being born and celebrating milestones? How weird to live through future generations instead of living your own life?
This is a cope. You didn’t plan anything if you had a child in your late 30s. You were desperately racing against the clock.
I had my first child at 34, not in my late 30s.

Abortions weaken the uterus. It is similar to the effect of a miscarriage.
This is a joke, right? Pls tell me it's a joke???!!!
DP. No, I am absolutely convinced there is someone posting who thinks an abortion or miscarriage is harder on the uterus than carrying to term and going through labor.
People aren't rational when driven by just ideology.
Wow. That's terrifying that someone is so ignorant and, like you say, irrational.

I had my first kid at 26 and the second at 29. I probably should have waited. I had a kid during the recession and couldn’t get a job and sort of became a SAHM my default. DH and I couldn’t start maxing out his 401K until we were maybe 32. Yay that I’ll have my kids out of the nest when I’m relatively young but my earning potential is shot and DH will have to retire later. Also my pregnancies were complicated so I didn’t even get that benefit.

So what? You also were desperately racing to get your kids in by your personal timeline. Everyone makes different choices. Brunch Granny prioritized being a young granny, while others of us prioritized travel or education or building a financial future.
You need to figure out why you are so triggered and defensive
DP. Good advice. You should take it yourself.

Attacking people like this isn't the move of a happy person who is satisfied and cool with their choices. Do some introspection as to why other people's uteri mean so much to you.

And I know sooooooo many other women that have similar stories from their late 30s and 40s. I only know two women who had fertiility issues—one had issues starting at age 25 because it turned out an ovulation problem she never knew about. The other didn’t start trying until late 30s—so very well may have had the same issues if she had started earlier.
Also, I’ve done a lot of geneological research reviewing census records from the 19th and early 20th century. A certain percentage of women were just infertile or had low birth rates regardless of the early marriages and lack of birth control. For women that were gererallt fertile, if they didn’t die or have catastrophic gyn problems from chldbirth, they were generally having kids into their 40s. Elizabeth cady Stanton had her last at 44 (feminism not having dried up her ovaries).
Basically every mother I know who gave birth after age 36 had complications; either with the pregnancy, delivery and/or the child is on the spectrum or has food allergies that could kill them. You folks live in delusional la la land if you think every woman can be on birth control for decades and booze through their 20s and early 30s, maybe even an abortion along the way, and then pop out healthy babies. Trust the science.
That’s bizarre and not supported by statistics whatsoever. Doubt it.
I had my third when I was months away from being 38- my first at 33.He was an oops baby. Vaginal delivery, no pain meds. He's the sweetest, smartest 3rd grader now.

Why is one person absolutely obsessed with other women's fertility and the criticism thereof? What on earth could drive the irrational emotionality of it?
