We only have 10 years?

I keep seeing posts on here about women worried to be turning 35 or whatever and it has made me realise now I'm above 35 we really only have 10 years to do everything.

Under 25 you're still very young and finding your feet with careers. Just 10 years later you are aware your time is running out for meeting someone settling down and having a child if you already havent.

Men dont have these limitations.

They're beginning going through adoption

Niki I'm sorry you're going through such a difficult time Flowers and totally understand why you're feeling at an end in regards to plans.
For what it's worth, my sister in law met her husband at 39, they married at 41 and had their child when she was 42. Shes now 44 and they're looking going through adoption of a beautiful little girl.
Things are never too late, even if it means taking another route to your destination, you can get there in the end :)

I disagree that we only have 10 years, people have kids from 16-40+ regularly. I understand what you mean about things being slightly more difficult at different times but I would try not to put too much pressure on yourself. If you want to have kids, have kids. If you're not ready yet, don't.

For everything.

If you meet someone young have dc and then try and do career later in life you're prejudiced for no experience ans being out of work so long.

I'd you devote time to a career then you're too late for motherhood often.

10 years is all we have to do it. All of it.

Do you mean to have DC? Yes, the fertility differences are a PITA!
