204. Should we be thinking about kids in our 20s?
The thought of having children in our 20s feels like an incredibly adult decision, and is one a lot of us probably don't consider. We want to protect our youth and our freedom a little bit longer, or perhaps have decided we probably will never want children.
But whether you want to have children or not, having a clear understanding of your future intentions or choices, your reproductive health, the kind of person who might make a good partner, and therefore parent, is important. More information, more foresight actually equals greater freedom and sometimes time to decide.
We break down:
Why you should be thinking in your 20s The pros and cons of having children in your 20s The argument for NOT having children Fertility Milestone anxiety and the pressure to find someone Your stories of pregnancy, parenthood and fertility in your 20s Listen now!
