    the 35-44 year olds skew the data quite heavily. In that age it’s dangerous for women to have kids so over 50% of them saying no makes sense.

      Yep. We had one kid when my wife was in hear early 30s. It was not a fun pregnancy for her in any way (morning sickness the entire time, for instance) and, on top of that, we decided against any more once she turned 35 since we didn’t want to increase any risk factors.

      Lots of people are getting married later in life. If you get married at 35 and you don’t want to take the risk of having a kid, I don’t blame you.
