Why do people say having children like after 35 is a bad thing?

Why do people have children very young like 17-22. In 21 and I’m not ready for kids. I don’t have the guts to be a mom. My cousin is 43 and having her first child’s she’s getting criticized for waiting so late to have children. She was I think 39 when she got married.

When it comes to pregnancy, the success rate depends on your age and health. It's a lot riskier in your 40's and 50's, a woman's body might not be ok to handle it. I wouldn't wait too long to have kids though, your eggs will decline as you get older too.

I looked up about a woman's age and eggs and how are they related in a way. Turns out that by the time a woman is 30, or not long before then, [b]90%[/b] [b]of her eggs are gone[/b]. It'll get worse from there.

But not all women will have pregnancy issues in their middle ages, some can have a healthy baby or rarely twins.

In my opinion, I would think about having kids around 25 or so. That is when your "biological clock" is ticking. I could be wrong, but having a baby is your choice.
