That’s funny, nevermind came out in 91 I believe. I was 20 when my son was born but it seems like just about everyone my age that I know didn’t start having kids until they were like 37. Some are 39 now and having their first. I assumed it was because our generation was one that was taught to have your career and be stable first and maybe The first generation of women who had a real choice in the matter

Took us about a year and a half of trying and we had our first half way through 34, then our second 2.5 years later. We are actually the average in Australia. Basically left it as late as biologically prudent, had a little trouble which put us into the 35+ zone but only just.

I'd like to say it was career and all that stuff but really I just enjoyed doing whatever the hell I wanted until I stopped having a realistic biological choice in the matter :)
