Deep dives
Trend of Older Mothers
More women are choosing to have children later in life, with some giving birth in their 50s, 60s, or even 70s. Reasons for this trend include better access to education and careers. However, there are health risks associated with childbirth at an older age. The term 'geriatric mother,' once used for mothers over 35, is no longer preferred, but social disapproval towards older mothers still exists.
