In this episode we’re talking about what happens when women wait to have kids. Are celebrities who give birth for the first time after age 40 outliers, or are regular women really waiting that long to become moms? We explore the research about super-low fertility and why a woman would choose to postpone childbearing. Jennifer also talks to author Elizabeth Katkin about the relationship between waiting to have kids and infertility.
