Re: Having children at an "older" age
A woman hits her peak fertility at the age of 22. After about 35, A LOT can go wrong with pregnancies, and conception can be quite difficult simply because the eggs are a lot older. These women who are conceiving or carrying pregnacies at 55 are only doing so with hormonal treatment, plus I really don't see why someone would wanna do that, you'd be more of a grandmother than a mother to the child. The age gap widens, plus general health of the mother starts to deteriorate yada yada.
Personally, I'd like to have kids before my mid-thirties insha'Allah.
