I sure hope that we have all learned to take most what goes on on the net or even on in those magazine shows that should be taken with a grain of salt.
The latest "new" info is about mothers and childbirth.
And the story goes on to say,
The latest "new" info is about mothers and childbirth.
"Giving Birth Later in Life Is a Sign of Longevity"
And the story goes on to say,
"Researchers at Boston University and Boston Medical Center studied
women who lived to the age of 95 or older and compared them with 151
women who died at younger ages. What they found was interesting: Women
who gave birth naturally (without fertility assistance, such as IVF)
after the age of 33 were twice as likely to live to the age of 95. And
women who gave birth after the age of 40 were four time as likely to
live to the age of 100."

Now this sounds wonderful to all those women who have been delaying any baby interests until they have established themselves in any of their careers. No more of that their baby-making clock ticking those years away! Waiting is better and more beneficial for all!
No more fears of such chromosomal anomalies such as Downs or other possible genetic concerns due to modern medicine and even if anything does happen all is well these days! Genetically speaking, we are capable of handling everything and anything!
But the fact that it actually says that it will in fact cause the mother to live longer is a bit farfetched in my opinion, but I am no doctor.
I can only speak from my very personal own experience so here I go... my own mother had me at age thirty-nine and my dad was forty-three, not that the father is in this equation for this longevity study.
It is true I was a product of a second marriage, my mom was a divorcee and my dad was a widower, and it is true my mom had had my half brother when she was twenty and had been married too young to a philandering musician, she said, at only eighteen. I was twenty and seven and half months myself when we married and had our first son a month before my twenty-second birthday, and I was very young too, but with a different outcome relationship wise...a decent guy, and of course I am still with him!
Any-who, back to when you have your baby or babies later in life increasing your life span, my mom died way too young in my mind, at only seventy, a week before her seventy-first birthday! Dad died at age seventy-nine and than some...
So you can see why I disagree.
My mom was born in 1911 and dad was born in 1907, and I always found it interesting that the famous actress Lucille Ball also was born in the year of 1911, same as my mom, and here is another interesting fact, both of her children Lucy and Desi Jr. were born while she was near forty and in her early forties! Her daughter is almost exactly a year younger than me.
"In 1929, Ball landed work as a model and later began her performing career on Broadway using the stage name "Diane Belmont". She assumed many small movie roles in the 1930s as a contract player for RKO Radio Pictures. Ball was dubbed the "Queen of the Bs" (referring to her many roles in B-films). Ball met and eloped with Cuban bandleader Desi Arnaz in 1940. In 1951, Ball was instrumental in co-creating the television series I Love Lucy with her husband, Arnaz. On July 17, 1951, at almost 40 years of age, Ball gave birth to their first child, Lucie Désirée Arnaz.[3] A year and a half later, she gave birth to their second child, Desiderio Alberto Arnaz IV, known as Desi Arnaz, Jr."
