'Do it only if you want to, because you give up a lot of your personal life to growing those other lives,' Berry wrote in Women's Health.
She continued: “And if you want to have children, you don’t have to be defined by those old ideologies that this is what women ‘have’ to do. Do it only if you want to, because you give up a lot of your personal life to growing those other lives. And maybe you’re not a woman who wants to do that. No harm, no foul, no judgment.”The advice feels especially relevant from Berry, who had her first child, daughter Nahla, at age 41 in 2008.
From an unsettlingly young age, women and girls are taught to be mindful of our ticking biological clocks; now, teenage girls and college-age women are increasingly beingacross their social media feeds. The pressure only picks up as you get older, and, certainly, by the time you’re in your 30s, it feels like you’re suddenly just supposed to have kids—that, or have a tediously precise plan in place for how to do so in the very near future.
