#31 Age: Does it matter when becoming a mum?

Does it matter how old you are when you have children? It’s a controversial topic and there is no definitive answer.

In this week’s episode Dr Justin Coulson looks at the research, in particular a recent correlational study looking at the advantages and disadvantages associated with the age a mother is when she has a child.

Dr Justin explains how health and physicality, stability of relationships, life experience, psychological maturity and psychological flexibility all play a part in the type of mother you’re likely to be, depending on your age.
