Recreation from Chinese: http://s.163.com/15/0121/17/AGGI75PS00314Q8N.html According to Kim Ga Yeon (Jessica)'s Facebook, she and Boxer will be expecting a baby! And they even already give him a nickname, guess what that is? "Marine" Jessica wrote: "My husband went to the ceremony for his brand new start at the poker association. Now he is a father, he will be more responsible and work harder. I will cheer for him at home, Marine dad fighting! Sorry I can't go with you, and thank you."

Its mostly about the risk for genetic abnormalities (something like 5-10x as high vs someone below 30), miscarriage (more than doubled) and such. Tbh it will probably be fine, the absolute risk is still quite low, maybe 2-3% for chromosone problems in the baby. I'm sure they will take every precaution to make sure Jessica and the baby is healthy. SC3 progamer hwaiting! | ||

Of course physiologically the prime years to get pregnant are age 20-30, and after 35 some pregnancy risks (mainly regarding the health of the child) start to increase. But if the mother is being taken good care of (as I would expect in most modern countries) it's not a big issue. | ||

Technically yes, higher age pregnancy significantly increase the risk of birth defect related diseases and it takes longer for the mother to recover, but since Jessica and Boxer are a successful and wealthy family they sure will use better medical care to lower the risk as far as possible, it's not really something to worry about these days. | ||

Exactly, rich and famous people don't have to live by the same rules as the rest of us. In the US advanced maternal age is 35 btw. So this isn't normal in the US either, but it's not unheard of. Also, in parts of Asia, advanced maternal age is 30(!). | ||

It is also irresponsible to get pregnant when you are young, don't have steady job for both parents, poor, uninformed, uneducated, living in a country which doesn't have the best health care available and to get pregnant at all. It's probably also irresponsible to get kids if you are so miserable that your respons to happy news is "That sucks, you should feel really guilty about this". | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-living/pregnancy-week-by-week/in-depth/high-risk-pregnancy/art-20047012 ..Advanced maternal age. Pregnancy risks are higher for mothers age 35 and older. Lifestyle choices. Smoking cigarettes, drinking al.... But how is jessica 42. DAFUQ. I dont understand asian ageing i guess. Edit: Humans are designed to live for about 30-40 years in total. (the moment your hair turns grey basicly nature wanted you to die soon, thanks to good living standards, you dont.) Pregnancy should be best age 16-25 i guess, at least biologically. In Society 30 is the new 15 and no one ever thinks of old age or death..well another matter. | ||

Good to hear for Boxer, I'm glad his life is being going him happiness (well hopefully). Quite happy to see a few of the old schooler like Boxer and Yellow being quite successful, especially in avenues outside esports. | ||

(the moment your hair turns grey basicly nature wanted you to die soon, thanks to good living standards, you dont.) That is false. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy#Life_expectancy_variation_over_time Having survived until the age of 21, a male member of the English aristocracy in this period could expect to live: 1200–1300: to age 64 Mean age 64 with all the insanitary crap and medical bogus of the middle ages. Just because a cat has a litter of 5, of which 2-3 die in childhood, doesn't mean the cat was designed to live up to the point it gets grayer – which incidentally is about the mean life span when not correcting for childhood deaths (7-9 years old). The point I'm trying to make is that the median life expectancy at birth is not a good indicator of genetic decay/actual age-related death. /off-topic Congrats to them! | ||

The debate about the ideal age for children is ridiculous. Live and let live. | ||

I'm confident with this answer Anyone wanna have a bet about which race this kid will play? I will bet a 30 day ban on Terran. I think he'll follow in his father's footsteps. Hopefully someone will remember this bet many years later. | ||
