Also, I often wonder about the validity of all the hype about older mothers and childbirth etc. It's a natural body function and it's well known that today doctors do way too many c-sections. I think that if I ever did have a baby, I would go to a birthing centre where the emphasis is on as natural as possible but have people on hand if need be. I have limited mobility in one hip, but my ob-gyn said it shouldn't be a problem to childbirth and she's never known a woman to experience problems from it. Maybe it's better for women to have babies in their 20's, but I've known women to have babies in their late 30's and even 40's and had no problems. A friend's sister had a Down's baby at 25.
