That is why in countries where education and career is something normal people won't achieve anyways have a healthy birthrate. Éducation and career are important in France, but gender equality too, this is why our school and nursery system allow women to have a career AND a children without choosing between the two. | ||

I don't see many other complications, if her body can still give her a child then her body thinks she's up for it why should some random dude on the internet question that. Gratz to them both. It can be irresponsible...(my parents were that age when I was born). Age can affect many aspects of a child's life. Obviously, not all parents are affected the same. I hope it doesn't affect how they raise their child. | ||

The principles behind both are the same. There is a small risk (yes, the risk is still small), you know about it beforehand, and you have all the power to minimize it as much as possible. Calling someone irresponsible in either case is just incredibly silly and/or trollbait. | ||

It's not about the dying; it's about the fact that genetic defects and complications with pregnancy are more likely to occur after age 35. Regardless, that's great news for Boxer and Jessica! Congratulations to them and little Marine! | ||

About half of women who are having children have them before 25... I don't know what "past" you're talking about, but two generations of having kids when you're around 22 (which is after a full four-year college, if you even choose to go that route) gets you to around age 44. While being a grandparent in your 40s isn't as common as it was a generation ago, it's still not uncommon. In fact, nearly all of these countries' average women's age for first child is between 20-25 (some earlier, some later): https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2256.html Your country of Sweden happens to have one of the highest average ages in the world (28), so that's probably why it seems so weird to you. Around 50 years old seems to be the most common age to become a grandparent, worldwide, as of just a few years ago. Maybe it's up to around 52 or so now? It seems to be a bit higher in wealthier countries, when couples tend to put more education and establishing careers first. | ||

Looking at that data, it seems that at least in the western world the average age seems to be closer to 30 than to 25 (Austraila, Germany, UK, Canada, France, etc.), so I'd say that as far as people playing Starcraft 2 are concerned, the average age to become a grandparent would indeed be closer to 60. Which is just about what I would expect, too. | ||

Regardless, that's great news for Boxer and Jessica! Congratulations to them and little Marine! More likely as in, 1% instead of 0.1%*. In the US, unless there's some family history pregnant women between 35 - 40 generally just have a few more tests and health screens. * I believe Down's Syndrome is the most likely issue from advanced maternal age and even the elevated risk of that is overblown: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Down_risk_by_maternal_age.png | ||
