With more money and confidence, a rising number of women are letting their biological clocks tick a little longer. Here, three older moms share their stories.
Canada’s overall fertility rate has been on the decline for 20 years and hit a record low in 2019.

It’s been kind of normal for us to, so I haven’t really felt like an older mom. Four of us had kids last year and the other moms were in their mid- to late 30s.
