Today's life has caused the age of being a mother to rise dramatically in recent decades. When before it was normal to have the first child at 20-25 years, now the most common is to have them at about 30-35 years, and a 30% of women They are mothers from the age of 35. This has some drawbacks that we all know but today we want to focus on the advantages of being a mother after 35 years, that there are.
Advantages of being a mother after 35 years
Sometimes by choice and others by impositions of life, the women we are delaying the moment of being mothers. Although biologically our body is better prepared to get pregnant at 20 than after 30, there are other aspects to take into account in addition to biology. Fortunately, science is increasingly advanced to be able to tackle the possible problems that may arise due to the mother's age. But there are also many benefits of having children from the age of 35. Let's see what they are:
- We tend to have a better economic situation. In your early twenties it is very difficult for you to have your work life balanced as you would after 35. When you are young you are still starting in the world of work and you have more pressure to hold a job in order to contribute to the family. On the other hand, when you are older you usually have a financial balance that allows you to be more relaxed in that aspect and to be able to enjoy your children more.
- We have more psychological maturity. The maturity you have at 20 is not at 30 no matter how mature you are. This allows you to distinguish what is important from what is not, know how to relativize, be more tolerant, worry less and enjoy what you have. 35 years or older you know perfectly what you are up against when you choose motherhood, and you do it with all the consequences. This aspect creates that children are raised in a happy and flexible environment.
- Emotional stability. The maturity of which we spoke before, also allows us to be more mature in our relationships as a couple and in our emotional stability. We know better what we want, we know how to make better decisions, we have more self-esteem, we learn from our mistakes, we know what we expect from our relationship and we can better decide if that person is the right person to start a family. This will give more security in the family with a healthy climate as well as being a good example for children. It will allow us to be more consistent when educating them.
- They live healthier. From the age of 30, women tend to take better care of ourselves than at 20. We eat better, we are more aware of the consequences for our body of what we eat and the exercise we do, so we choose much better. We pay more attention to our health and therefore we will have more healthy habits. This will give a good example to the children on how to acquire healthy habits in their routine, and they will eat much better.
- More experience in life. There are things that only experience gives you, such as the ability to solve problems, patience, empathy, understanding, the appreciation of what we have ...
The difference is remarkable
Women who have been mothers at a very young age, and who have repeated around 40 later emphasize that the differences are remarkable. Some women report that their concerns when they were younger prevented them from enjoying their children, and that as they were older they were able to spend more quality time and focus on them. As we see the quality of life of the mother, notably influences the quality of life of the children. Of course, being a mother after 35 years carries risks that you should talk to your doctor to have everything under control.
Because remember ... motherhood is a more thoughtful decision when we are older and more prepared to enjoy it.
