Our grandmothers’ generation could become a mother in their teens, around 15 to 16, and 20s for most of our mothers’ generation. What’s happening for women in their 30s these days? : Postponement of the day to become a mother.

Let’s face it. This is the global trend we all cannot deny and it is currently moving this way especially in urbanised societies. Women are now career-oriented, overloaded with work and more concerned with individual lifestyle, not to mention family responsibility for their parents. This can be quite a crude analysis but this is to say of the global trend. Perhaps, women overestimate themselves with how fit they are physically!

Time and tide wait for no man (and, obviously for women).

In the UK, this problem is highlighted recently; Professor Bill Ledger of Sheffield University is urging 30-year-old women to take fertility tests to check their possibility of having children in the future. This would be like a guarantee that couples will not be disappointed when they want to have their kids.

In Thailand, our national mother’s day is coming and we all know how we regard very highly of ‘mothers’ in our society.

It is good that mothers are praised for their contribution to the growth of future generations, nevertheless women should not put or not to be put too much pressure to become mothers for having complete lives. All-round knowledge both physically, socially and psychologically are significant for women to make decisions for them whether to be or not to be a mother.
