See in my opinion, obviously the women who are waiting until they have reached a specific goal and feel confident that they can provide a good life for their child are the ones who ar going to help bring up a better society. so it's good to see that the average age to have children has raised. However their still should be a realistic age in the back of all of our heads. Like 35, cause by waiting any longer than that we are also risking not being around long enough to even watch your child grow up.
it's too bad though that they are having so many complications, because it would be a good encouragement to tell people that, hey you can wait all the way til you're 50 if you want. but no matter what you tell them i suppose we'll always have a but load of teen pregnancies bringing down that average birthing age.

true

so when is the best time to pop out babies?

that is stupid. Women may be more fertil at 19 than 36 but that's only to say that she is more capable of having more healthy pregnacies. 36yr old women aren't looking for big numbers. In anycase, isn't it better to have fewer kids with more stable parents than a gaggle of youngins with no food in the house?

Ofcourse ofcourse, all this article is saying is that physically, the best time for a woman to give birth is from 20-35 years old. After 35 years of age the chance of something going wrong with the pregnancy or some type of birth defect dramatcally goes up. That is fact. No one is deabting wheter or not anyone is mentally ready, because like you said, who really ever is. And ofcourse anyone of any age who is planning on having kids some time in thier life should be ready financialy and and be in a stable place in their lives, that just goes without saying.
