35 isn't old to have a child.

35 isn't old to have a child.

It's classed as "advanced maternal age" and pregnancies in mothers 35 and over are dealt with as high risk usually, that's fact not opinion, obviously lots of women have children over 35 but biologically speaking it is not the optimal time, so that's all I'm pointing out, that it's strange an age with more risks was selected as the "perfect" age (obviously perfect doesn't exist anyway! But it does from a biological standpoint).

That's weird, unless it means 33 at the latest. I only plan to have 2 kids, but I had my first at 24 and that felt just right. It seems like having babies younger would be better (within reason), and starting at 24 meant that I had time to get through school (including grad school). But to each their own, 33 works great for some!

Yeah I'm guessing 33 would be the latest age to start having children according to the author of the book.
