Most women are aware that there are some problems ahead if they decide to start their families later. Even doctors rarely know all the facts and surprisingly enough there has been little written about this important subject. This 60-page e-book is written for couples who want to know the facts. It is packed with useful information. The material is based on the very latest published medical and scientific literature and is referenced. Information about all the problems that are increased by delaying reproduction are included as well as age-specific data. The very latest information (some from Dr Ford's own, soon to be published research) about lifestyle and dietary modifications that are likely to reduce some of the effects of ageing, is outlined. Bad habits that can be tolerated in younger women must be changed when the critical datelines are crossed!
This book is a must-read for anyone who is thirty something and wishes to have normal, healthy babies.
