Im studying for my lifespan development course. Midterm is on monday and main topic is fertilization and early stages of pregnancy.
"85-90% of aneuploidies arise from the maternal side. A strong effect of maternal age has been noted where risk increases significantly at 33-40, 40 having a faster increase."
I never thought 33 was really old but I guess I can understand the Korean emphasis on getting married so quickly. And being a health person and someone who learns these kinds of things, I feel like its almost my responsibility to my future kids to get married early and have kids. I think 4 kids is out of the question unless i want to be constantly on maternity leave - which i dont. And im realizing more and more how independent i like to be and how i actually dont want to get married that quickly (although im tres excited for when it will happen teehee).
SIGH why?!?!
This course saddens me.
