I'm 1000% with you on how annoying and condescending it is when people tell you you'll want kids eventually. But woah, you consider 32 almost too old to have kids? I would consider 42 almost too old to have kids, but 32? I know it differs for everyone, but I know several people who've had kids at 40+.

Ah, maybe I'm wrong then. I mean, I know people do (my aunt was in her 40s when she had my cousin), but I thought it was one of those things that's just not a good idea, and that's what I was going by. I thought 35 was the cutoff for when it was no longer medically advisable to have kids, but it's entirely possible I'm wrong about that.

My sister and all of my cousins didn't even consider starting before turning 30. They wanted to have their jobs sorted first. So they started having babies around 35 and later.

One of my colleagues had her first child at 47. Which is really late, yes, but the child is perfectly healthy.

The chances of certain problems for you or the baby increases, but it's not a guaranteed, instant, huge increase in your chances the minute you hit 35, and these are problems that can and do happen to younger mothers and their kids, too. It's not so much not medically advisable as just not ideal. No one would ever tell ypu to abort just because you're over 35, and if you don't have any kids, lots of people - even doctors - will be quick to tell you that you still have time left, even once you're on the far side of 35. My former doctor actually had a baby at 40.

I'm 43 and I'm still getting regular periods. *facepalm*

43 and just a couple of years back people would be horrified I didn't have kids and then say "41 that's not too late!!" Like no, I don't want any, go away.
