Becoming mom in older age – Not a bad idea!

Researchers at the University of Southern California has openly challenge the notion that ‘women who are in their 50s cannot be good mothers ‘.

This study took about 150 women who were in their 30s, 40s and 50s and concluded that mothers who were in their 50s were in no way inferior mothers.

In the words of researcher Anne Steiner:

The findings suggest that criticism of women who have babies at an older age is based on prejudice rather than any evidence that they’re less capable mothers than younger women, and that there is no reason to bar older women from having in-vitro fertilization.

I personally think that this new study has brought a new ray of hope for the women who are in their 50s and planning to give birth to a baby.
