I'm 29 and childless. I do plan on having children but havent felt 'ready' yet. Plus my longest relstionship of 5 years ended suddenly and my current OH and I have only been together 18 months.
Anyway, I just had a conversation with my older sister and mother of 3 children. She says she is worried I may be waiting too long to start a family and began telling me about how my fertility rapidly decreases at 35 and the chances of down syndrome increases etc.
Its kind of freaked me out a little tbh. I wouldn't mind a child with ASN like down syndrome but would be gutted to think it's partly my fault because I was an older mum!
Please tell me there are plenty mums who had their first baby in their 30s and it all turned out ok lol
