I was speaking to a maternity nurse a few months ago who told me that Caesareans were through the roof compared to when they had started working due to a much higher proportion of older first time mothers.
Childbirth complications are going to become increasingly common. Just a reality of living in a developed country, happens everywhere.
Drop in births to women under 20 even more eye-opening. Presume a lot of that is it being much easier to get an abortion
Trying to go through fertility treatment at the moment and it is virtually impossible for someone who works full time (and cant just take time off) to complete fertility treatment in Ireland.
It’s a joke really, scans can only be done between 9-12, 0 wiggle room in that regard (at least in cork). So effectively, if you work mornings, and cant get “time off” at 24hrs notice you can’t be helped
Fertility rates have fallen off a cliff globally.
China, Japan, South Korea were first but it’s spread everywhere.
Asia, Europe and South America.
Only Africa and Muslim countries have high birth rates.
I think we’ll see the economic impact in the next 5 years.
We’re going to miss the Irish. They were a funny bunch.
the thoughts of having a kid over 45 would scare me…. i barely had the energy for them in my 30s
