What is the best age to be a mother?
Over the years, there have been many questions ranging from the best age to become a mother and the best time to start bringing up a child.
According to research from the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the best time to become a mother is between 20 and 35.
During these 15 years, it’s easier to conceive, and you are less likely to have high blood pressure, a miscarriage or require a caesarean section. You’re also more likely to cope with sleep deprivation.
The Aarhus University in Denmark, after carrying out research revealed that the best time to bring up a child is from the mid-30s. This is because being older is associated with raising children with fewer behavioral, social and emotional difficulties at ages 7 and 11.
In Denmark, the average age for having children is 30.9, and the proportion of babies born to mothers over the age of 40 has quadrupled since 1985. Data from the Office for National Statistics says that the average age of women having children in England and Wales was 30.3 years, with rates in older women rising since the mid-1970s.
The research also suggests that older women are more matured and can be more forgiving and flexible in parenting.
Also, Danish study shows that older women are less likely to be verbally or physically abusive to their children
