Delay Motherhood Effect On The Quality of Baby; A Must Read For All Women And Men Who Love Them
Not everyone is lucky enough to get into marriage at the earlier part of their life, especially at the early age of 20 to 25 years. Some love to get married early but the economic situation of the country is hampering that possibilities, while some love to get older to some certain age before getting married. At the same time, most ladies get worried after the age of 25 years when not married.
The fact remain that, majority of women love to have babies early so that, there will be more time to nurture their babies when growing up from childhood to their adolescent age and then progressing to the early adult life.
For every female, there are millions of eggs in them at the early age when they have not reached the puberty and started their menstrual period.
Immediately they get to the puberty stage and the menstrual period started, the numbers of eggs will begin to reduce.
What this mean is that, when you start menstruating which is normal biological process every female will go through when the age is right, the numbers of egg inside of you will begin to reduce as you menstruate every month.
By the time women reach their puberty stage and start menstruating, half a million of the eggs would have gone through menstruation. And as women are growing older, the qualities of the eggs in them get reduced.
