There is a lot of self delusion in tech. I’ve known women in their late 30s who were unmarried and “may have kids some day”.

Basic human biology is not taught in schools.

It's apparently not because it's entirely possible to have children well into your 30s. Sure risk factors can do things like "increase 10x" but it increases from like 0.02% to 0.2%.

Risks are much, much, much higher. Chromosome disorder in 40 year old mothers is 1 in 30. For 25 year olds it is 1 in 1250. So from .08% to 3.33%. Chance of miscarriage is 80% for a 40 year old mother. For a 35 year old, it is 20%.
