Not sure why you would slap me for species characteristics that are out of anyone's control, or life circumstances I played no part in. I know(/hope) you're probably just being light-hearted, but as I said in my comment, I don't support the common approach of pretending late pregnancies are without risk or talking about biological truths around pregnancy constraints helps anyone. No harm done, but again, not everyone has equal access to education around reproductive health and I would rather openly share inconvenient truths in the hopes that somebody out there can learn something about reproductive health.
As to the rest of your question, if you found my stats helpful, then you're welcome. I hope you didn't take it as an attack as, frankly, my comment wasn't even directed at you (another reason I found your response off-putting). It is unfair, but one thing I've tried to do is just keep looking forward and making the most of my time rather than looking back. As a software engineer who grew up poor and can now afford to pursue hobbies like extreme sports, it's too late for me spend my summer breaks in grade school snowboarding or mountain biking. But I focus on the fact that at least I can do it now, whereas many people may never be able to have the luxury. We can't change the past, but we can change the outlook we have on life.
Thanks for telling people about this. I think it's a bit common that women work and work and work and suddenly they're 35 or 40 and it's almost too late to have kids. (And I think that is sad)
Maybe it'd be better if people spent 5 more years working, until they were say 70, instead of retiring at 65.
And could instead take some years off in their late 20's and have kids. (Men too, although for them it's not biologically important in the same way)
