But the reasoning for women getting pregnant younger is because of the increased risks in "ill effects" on their fetuses if they're older is right Doctor Saab?😉

my take on this whole issue is very different ji. The "ill effects", "the abnormalities"...not my thing. If I start, I'll write up an essay, and then most likely offend some people. So keeping shut on it.

However, after a certain age there is a higher chance ji. The key word is chance. It is not 100% certain, but the abortion rates even in this uncertainty is 90%. Many women feel that they need to be screened after a certain age, even when they can say no. Which on the doctor's part is wrong, b/c he/she has not properly informed the patient about her choices etc. Then the women are not told that there can be false positives, and 95% of them only do one test and abort.

I am not against the women wanting to abort, their choice. However, the information needs to be complete. This can lead to psychological problems in some women b/c it was a "forced" abortion. So many factors come into play. anyways, I digress....sorry.

RK too wants to have kids by 32, good family planning RK and KK

@thanks koolchick your siggi cracks me up every time I see it

We are not talking about the situation now in UK...its a good 10-12 years back we are talking about....and here in UK single parents are given benifits by the government, NHS is free and education is free....unlike in India. See....these are exactly the reasons why its difficult to connect with Katrina...because everything about her is such a secrete...the more you try to solve her puzzel the deeper it goes!

omg is this topic still going on lol

Her story makes no sense, her mum is apparently a Harvard graduate, whom had a successful career as a lawyer before giving it all up to join an NGO.... a Harvard graduate lawyer with 8 kids?, doesn't quite fit the demographic, but anyways, let's give her the benefit of the doubt.

Then the father just disappears one day, never to be heard again, and never bothers to make contact with any of his children to see how they're doing, leaving a woman stranded with 8 kids.

The mother hops from country to country like she's changing trains on the London Underground, all the while holding down a career and raising 8 kids all on her own, it's hard enough being a single mother and raising one child and also having a job!

So they go from, Hong Kong > Japan > China > France > Switzerland > Germany > Poland > a host of Eastern European countries > Hawaii, and then finally London, all before she was 14 years of age!

The whole story looks bullshit to me, it seems a bit fantastical for a single mother with 8 kids to be travelling so much, raising them, and having a job on a social worker salary.

is this topic still on wow😕
