For women, the thought of getting older is terrifying. We’re inundated with stories about the decay of our bodies and how we’d better “hurry up” and take advantage of our youth while we can. You’ve probably read all about the “dangers” of having a baby over the age of 35. Your pregnancy is "geriatric”, your kid will probably have some kind of genetic abnormality IF you can even get pregnant at all. Because after you turn 35 you’re eggs are rotten and your uterus becomes an inhospitable wasteland.
But is that really how fertility works?
Today, we discuss how we perceive women once they’ve hit the age 35 and reveal the source of the panic about “old” women having babies. We’ll also discuss why we never talk about the decline of men’s fertility and what you can do to empower yourself to feel comfortable in your own body.
