Midwife Reveals Ideal Age for Motherhood: It's Not What You Think

Spanish Midwife Weighs In on Ideal Age for Motherhood Spain - A recent podcast interview has sparked discussion about the optimal age for women to have children. Midwife Rocío Matrona, interviewed on the "Animales Humanos" podcast, shared her expertise on the subject. While acknowledging that the twenties are biologically ideal, Matrona highlighted that many women choose to have children in their thirties and forties. "The twenties would be the most optimal," Matrona stated, "but what actually happens is that most decisions are made between 30 and 40." She emphasized that the ideal age varies greatly depending on individual health and circumstances. Matrona also addressed concerns about increased risks associated with older pregnancies. "The risks increase progressively with age," she explained, "but having a child at 35 doesn't automatically mean a high-risk pregnancy." She stressed the importance of pre-pregnancy health checks regardless of age. The interview concludes by emphasizing that while age is a factor, it's not the sole determinant of a successful pregnancy. The discussion underscores the importance of informed decision-making for women considering motherhood, highlighting the role of both biological factors and individual health.
