I think many women don't realise how risky or difficult it can be to have a child when you are much past 35. Of course,there are always exceptions to the rule but the odds do begin to stack against you once you get to 35 ish. When I was in my late 20's early 30's it was almost 'not the done thing' (in my social circle) to have a baby. We were all busy building careers. The time flies very quickly, so if you're contemplating it now I'd say go for it now while you can! good luck karen wow, that's a really well written story.

My wife stopped working after our first kid. Even though we thought we could manage working and look after our baby. But it certainly is not easy as it sounds. So many sleepless nights and working is practically impossible. No matter what anyone says having kids certainly does slow down your carrier. My wife stopped working after our first kid.

I haven't had any kids. Yet. but I know a lot of family members and colleagues who actually slowed down or completely stop their career to stay back home and look after there kids. Working and looking after kids is a total hectic lifestyle. And neither of it will be done fully. So might as well give up working and focus on your kids fully A really interesting article.

My wife and I had a kid last year and she had to stop her career to look after him. and since it was our first baby it was a little difficult. So she quit her job and stayed back home full time. It is not quite easy to work and raise small kids. Interesting article Penelope.
