Leading doctors have issued a stark warning that women should become mothers by the age of 35 or face a greater risk of infertility, miscarriage and health problems during pregnancy.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) is urging would-be mothers to have children between the ages of 20 and 35 to minimise the chances of childbirth damaging their own or their baby's health.
It has issued its clearest advice yet on older motherhood, after doctors raised concerns that among the record number of women choosing later parenthood, some are ending up childless because they have ignored their biological clock and left it too late to start a family.
