I believe in God, only he knows the correct timing for someone to have kids. People say they have unhealthy babies, lies since I seen some of the kids they had grow up to be smarter and healthier than average kids. I saw younger women having child with disabilities or health problems. So age is nothing but a number. We can’t play God and say older women are at risk for having kids because we don’t know
We do know. There is so much research out there about:
1) Kids being born with genetic abnormalities because of maternal age. Yeah, there are exceptions to every rule, but would you knowingly and purposefully, take a chance with your own kid when there are other options available? As a mother, I would do anything in the world to make sure my child was safe, including surrogacy.
2) Age is not just a number. Can any 40+ year old here claim with a straight face they can do the same things they did in their 20s? It's the same for pregnancy and child birth. Those things are physically taxing.
