The chances of getting pregnant go down pretty dramatically while the chances of birth defects go up defects go up dramatically. I wouldn't say it's bad to get pregnant after 30 but it can be harder and more risky for the child. Per AI... A woman's general fertility window peaks in her 20s to early 30s. Fertility begins a steady decline at age 30, with a much steeper drop-off occurring after age 35. Natural conception generally becomes very unlikely by the mid-to-late 40s, leading up to menopause. The timeline of female reproductive capacity breaks down into several key stages: Late Teens to 20s (Peak Fertility): Women are at their biological peak. A healthy, fertile woman in her 20s has about a 20% to 25% chance of conceiving naturally in any given menstrual cycle. Ages 30 to 35 (Steady Decline): Fertility starts to slowly but consistently decrease. By age 30, the monthly chance of natural pregnancy drops to around 20%. Ages 35 to 40 (Accelerated Decline): The decline quickens significantly. By age 40, the chance of spontaneous pregnancy per menstrual cycle falls to less than 5% to 10%. The risk of chromosomal abnormalities in eggs and miscarriage also rises. 
 Ages 41 to 45+: Natural conception is rare, and the body generally prepares for menopause (which occurs on average at age 51).

It's not bad at all.
Aside from the points you made, research indicates that children born to older parents often stay in the education system longer, perform better on standardized tests, and face fewer emotional and social difficulties. I think that is because, by then the women are wiser, more educated, experienced and mentally mature enough to be good parents, as opposed to women in their late teens and early 20s who are still children, themselves.

I have read that 27-32 is the optimal age to have children if you hope to be active with your grandchildren and be financially stable when you start your family.

I was my parents' first born and my mom was 30. She was 33 when my sister was born. We were both healthy. And our mom was an excellent mother.

It's a new normal that just happens to correlate with the systems cattle drive for higher education for basic pay jobs... along with certain pregnancy issues and autism being on the rise.

A new normal is not the normal for everyone yet. The new normal may be the normal for you already, but you're judging them by your own standards and what's normal for you.

Your surprise is sort of like me seeing an EBT community member wonder why criminals get arrested when they're doing crime. Welcome to a vast world where your little world is no longer the main character where all the standards are made. You'll get used to it... eventually.

Definitely not normal. Not even close.

The female body has a finite number of eggs.
And out of these eggs only a certain amount are viable for fertilization.

With every period cycle a few of the eggs are ejected from the body until one day nothing is left, aka menopause.

But it also means that the longer you wait after you hit puberty the fewer fertile eggs you will have, making conception harder and harder as time goes on.

That’s why teenagers break a condom once and end up with a kid while adults try actively for months and even years still struggle to conceive.

After 35 there is less than a 1% chance of a successful pregnancy according to biology, statistics, Obstetricians, and OBGYNs. If you are healthy, you can still have a successful pregnancy at 30. Also, the less than 1% does NOT mean people need to try more than 100 times, it means 99 out of 100 people can't do it past 35 even if they try 500 times. It is less than 1% of the population that is EVER capable of it.

RavVid · Answer

It is basic biology that the number of eggs a woman has falls off rapidly from 30 and especially from 35. More birth defects occur.

You are arguing from example when you need to look at more generic data.

It's only bad to get pregnant if you are not married and the kid won't have a dad.

3rd or 4th kid at 30... not the first kid. Get rid of birth control. When a couple wants no more the guy can get a vasectomy.

There is a theory that the reason there are so many autistic kids is because men and women are becoming parents after 30.
