I sleep 10 hours a night but still need to nap constantly during the day. Even 400 mg of caffeine doesn't buzz me, it just makes me feel 70% close to my normal, high energy 20s self. My daytime fatigue is so severe I've been mistaken for being drunk (even though I don't drink), and I experience a dream like brain fog around friends unless I use caffeine pills to seem present.
I know this is part of normal aging for a woman in her 30s, but it's frustrating to constantly need naps when I haven't even done anything. Sometimes you just have to biohack. Still, I feel a bit jealous of how men age differently and seem to keep loads of energy.
It is if you're a woman. https://www.healthline.com/health/pregnancy/geriatric-pregnancy 35 or over is clinically classed as "geriatric".
Geriatric pregnancy does not mean women over 35 are geriatric
If your DNA is so beaten up from ageing that having a pregnancy after 35 is risky, then perhaps it makes sense to call 35 old. A woman who is geriatric (or advanced age) having a pregnancy.
The woman’s DNA is not involved. Women are born with all the eggs they’ll ever have. By the time a girl enters puberty, her eggs have already degraded to a degree before it was even possible to use them, because that’s just how things work. That doesn’t mean she’s somehow past her prime before puberty even starts.
Nah
Stop. What are you doing? This is for pregnancy.
At 35 or over a woman's DNA is so beaten up from ageing that the chance of deformities etc goes up *by orders of magnitude. *
You just gave the game away. You're absolutely trolling.
I'm not trolling, though. I'm just stating facts that are freely available in the medical literature. Why else do you think the odds of birth defects increase massively with pregnancies at or after that age, then?
I'm not debating you on pregnancy and women aging. That's not even what the post is about.
What are you doing here?
It's a vent-meme. Sometimes it's just a good way to get frustrations off your chest.
