Some of my friends who are in their mid 60s like me, are doing what I did in my 40s and early 50s, and it is seriously exhausting them.
The next generation of grannies will be in their 80s if this trend for late births continues.
Exactly so. My mother was in her 40s when she had me through no choice of her own and I had my two a lot later than I would have wanted, again not by choice with the result that neither of them have ever really known their grandparents. My mother died before Em was born and the other 3 had already died before Mimi was born. It's not a situation I would willingly choose.
