Cause and Effect

Having babies is obviously amazing. But isn’t it more likely if you can get pregnant, carry to term, and give birth at that age, that already means that you’re healthier and more resilient than the norm?

Having been pregnant and given birth at 40, I know for a fact that it is a physically very taxing proposition. If you are capable of carrying it out, it’s a sign of your general state of health. And even if you are capable of doing it, it takes a while to recover, and very often the recovery is never complete.
