I think some of you misunderstood my question. Should a woman who wishes to be a mother, have her children?

Question

when she is of prime fertilization and may or not be college educated or wait until she is much older and established (but at the risk of being infertile) before she has children. I'm talking about the Nancy Grace's of the world who had to have ivf.....

Answer 1

It's up to the individual. I don't care what they do.

Do you?

Answer 2

There are some risks both ways....its really up to her, and her business.

IMHO think she should finish school before kids, college isnt easy and a child doesn't help.

Answer 3

I personally think it's better to have children after you've established some skills of your own and know your own mind completely. If I could help infertile older women by switching reproductive systems with them, I would.

Answer 4

I think a woman should do what she feels is right for her and for her kids.  If she chooses to risk infertility because she thinks she can provide a better life for her kids, why does that matter?

I think women get angry because the were waiting so that could provide the best life for their kids.  Some young women who have multiple children before they are resentful of the older women who waited because they (the older women) can afford to do things with and for their kids that the younger mom can't.  It's a trade off both ways.

Answer 5

"Should a woman who wishes to be a mother, have her children?

First of all, the average person finishes college in 4-6 years, so if you go right after high school, and go for 4-6 consecutive years, then you'll probably graduate when you're in your mid-twenties.  This of course depends on your major, but it can be done.

So what's your point?  Assuming that Nancy Grace didn't just graduate from college and start her career, there's nothing wrong with finishing school first.  Based on your questions, you're making it seem that there is something wrong with that.  I don't think that you should endanger your life or your child's by waiting until you're, say, 47 to have kids, but if you're 25, finished with school, and decide to have kids, what's the big deal?

Answer 6

That is up to the individual to make that choice.  Women are able to have children into their forties.  The world has changed and many women prefer to have a career before putting it on hold to have a baby.
