My sister had her first at 41, naturally. But on the flip side, she was never able to have more, even with IVF. But she made one pretty perfect kiddo ❤️

I’m pregnant with my first at 36. Most of my friends didn’t start trying until after 35 😂

You don’t start seeing impacts to fertility until after 35. Even then it’s a gradual decline. It’s not like you fall of a cliff. Plenty of women I know have given birth to healthy babies at 40+

I’m not sure if this happens to you, I’m constantly intimidated and feel judged by white men and women and/or people born in the US for having a strong foreign accent in the US. Nobody says that to my face, but I can see it in people’s actions. This has severely affected my confidence and I focus more on the way I pronounce some words rather than the content. How do I battle this situation? Would definitely like both perspectives.

Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp
