Afshan Anjum on her wedding day

In one of the blogs on a website, she talked about becoming a mother in her late 30s. She said,

I had my child in my late thirties, at an age I believed I had already lived more than half my life. By then, everyone including my mother, neighbourhood aunties, gynaecologists and even my maids had reminded me that it was high time I had a baby. I wasn’t just constantly reminded of the biological clock but also given hints of how it may just never happen. I did truly want it too, from the bottom of my heart. But how could I have a child before 35 when I only got married at 35? I wonder how many societies around the world advise having a child post 35 years of age. This number seems to have become an unofficial cut-off age for being a mother.”
