The optimal age for having children is between 20 and 35 years old – study

According to doctors, after 30, women's fertility decreases due to a decrease in egg cells.

Experts from the British Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists said that giving birth to children by women in adulthood is associated with certain risks for the birth of offspring. According to scientists, “the older the mother, the higher the likelihood of having a child with Down syndrome or miscarriage.” The researchers found that the optimal age for childbearing is between 20 and 35 years. They noted that after 30 years, the production of eggs in the female body decreases, which reduces both fertility and the likelihood of becoming a mother. Closer to 40 years, women who want to get pregnant and give birth have a higher probability of developing gestational diabetes and other complications during pregnancy, which provoke health problems for both themselves and their children.
