Something that caught my eye was when I was
reading in Chapter 2 on pg.61 about “Mother’s Age”. The reason being I chose
this interesting topic is because now days it seems like there are more
teenagers these days getting pregnant then most older women, but I’m not saying
I am completely right! I also think that when being a lot younger you think it
would be easier for people to get pregnant but for most couples its hard it
even get pregnant. I always
thought when I was in my early twenty that my husband and I would be able to
have a family but even being healthy at that age and eating right you would
think it would be easy. But now I will be thirty here soon in couple years and
my whole family are always asking us what are we going to do and the answer to that
is that we are going to be doing IVF for the very first time and hope and
crossing our fingers that this time we will finally be able to have a
family. Its also asks on pg.61 in
paragraph four “ Are older women better suited for Pregnancy?”, and I think yes
because older women have developed all the way and usually cause afford to take
care of there family then an average young adult who just graduated from high
school. I also didn’t know is that
older women have difficulty pregnancies and more complicated labors but like I
said you think being older it would be more easier for you to be able conceive
and give and easy labor.

like a life experience has happen this week but I do remember when I was in
high school I was a senior getting ready to graduate from a very small, small
country town in Athena, Oregon and one of my friends that was a year younger
then was pregnant and she was a junior in high school that is scary when you
still are living with your parents and you don’t have a job I watched here
struggle but she ended up complete high school and pursuing a degree in
Nursing. I am at the age now that my husband and I really don’t want to wait
any longer and instead of taking that chance of never conceiving we are going
to try the IVF and hopefully it works.

I would like to know more about the older ages
of pregnancy but I don’t want to get my mind worried of the situation. If I had unlimited funds to do research
on this I would do it. The reason
being is that there is many people just like me who are even more cereuses than
I am. Of course if I had lots of energy and time do more research I would take
the time out of my day to do it so I could understand it even more. I would take more time to learn more
about the age of women and conceiving and what could make it where more older
women where having more children then younger adults.
I would like to wish you and your husband good luck in starting your family! I agree that life-cycle plays a huge role in parenting. I find it interesting that women's bodies are more likely to get pregnant in their early 20's, but women in their 30's lifestyles and life experiences make them more mentally ready for the challenges of parenthood.
ReplyDeleteSociety is changing, women are having children later in life finishing education and starting careers before families.Teen pregnancy is also on the rise. Biology remains the same. Women have a larger egg count in their 20's-30's and their bodies are much more prepared for child birth than teens or women over 35.
I had my daughter in my early 20's. I had two boys in my late twenties/early 30's. My parenting abilities in my 30's is of great difference than that of my 20's. I have more patience, structure and stability. I am more aware of how my interactions and teachings influences my children and who they become in adult-hood.
IVF,an amazing scientific discovery, it gives couples who are having difficulty conceiving a opportunity to start a family. One common side effect is multiple births,but for couples wanting to start a family I think they may feel blessed by having multiple children.
