In a recent discussion, Dr. Alex Johnson shared insights in a piece featured on Shape.com, responding to an article from The Atlantic titled “How Long Can You Really Wait to Have a Baby?” Dr. Johnson emphasizes the importance of understanding the biological clock when it comes to starting a family. “While it’s tempting to put off parenthood for career or personal reasons, waiting too long can significantly affect fertility,” he notes.
The Role of Age in Fertility
He explains that age plays a crucial role in a woman’s ability to conceive, and the chances of complications during pregnancy can increase as well. This is a topic that many people grapple with, especially in today’s fast-paced world.
