Does rice pass to women to be mothers? That's what Get Britain Fertile points to fertility campaign in Britain that has unleashed a great controversy.
The protagonist is Kate Garraway, a popular 46-year-old TV presenter, who had two children at 38 and 42, and now that she plans to have a third party, she thinks she is too late to be a mother again. With this he wants to draw attention to late motherhood and encourage women to have children at earlier ages. The message is not to leave it for later.
To cause an impact, the presenter is characterized as an older lady, about 70, and pregnant, which of course has sparked a flood of criticism.
We all know that late motherhood is a fact in developed countries. The society has been changing and the woman of today seeks to perform professionally, find a stable partner and settle financially before deciding to have children.
It is also true that women have a biological clock and that fertility decreases significantly over the years.
If a woman at age 20 has a 25% chance of getting pregnant by having sexual intercourse on her fertile days, at age 30 she has 15%, starting at age 35 is twice as difficult, the chances decrease 8% and after 38 years, the probability is 3%.
According to the SEF (Spanish Fertility Society) 15% of women remain sterile between 30 and 34 years, 30% between 35 and 39, and 64% in the case of women between 40 and 44 years.
Anyway, I think that these types of campaigns are not necessary to attract attention and make many women feel bad. It is not necessary to press them that way. After all, it is a very personal decision.
What do you think of the campaign? Would you have liked to be a mother before?
