You are not offending, but let me share a different perspective.There is no issue of bearing a baby at 45, if your body can bear and personal health is permits, have babies, adopt, IVF etc etc
You do bring a good point about the fact that one would not be able to spend as many years with the child if he/she is born much later to parents.
But that should not a deterrent as in today's day and age medicine has advanced a lot and ppl in 50s today are fitter than their counterparts say 20-30 yrs ago (most actor actresses are proof to that)
I live in the US and I can say the new wave of thinking is to study, career, travel, enjoy life then have kids and settle.
Most of my friends had kids in mid to late 30s and 40s
Teen pregnancies are looked down upon.
Here it is very common to see a 35-45 yr old first time mom or dad.
In my circle we have several examples, 1st time mom at 43, we have a grandma at 43, so there is a whole range...to each their own
As far as MaAn go, if they can take the stigma away from IVF, adoption or surrogacy options combined with having a child at a later stage would be amazing social aspect to address, would definitely open channels of conversation.
