Age can be a great factor in the woman's ability to have children. Many women these days wait until their 30s or 40s before they decide to have children. Statistics show that about 20 percent of American women now have their first child after the age of 35, and about one-third of the couples in which the woman is over that age experience infertility problems.
Age affects the woman's ability to have a baby in the following ways:
- The ability of her ovaries to release eggs for fertilization declines.
- The health of the eggs released from her ovaries declines.
- The chances of miscarriage increase.
