This might not be news for some of you, but I was utterly gobsmacked when I read this. Apparently almost all the statistics that are bandied about about women's fertility plummeting with age are based on fairly ropey data (e.g. studies based on 17th and 18th century populations!).
I mean, you'd almost think the reporting of these statistics was a plot cooked up to give women baby panic!
