Was Carrie Underwood just being
candid and honest about what is realistic? Or was she seriously misguided?
Either way, fans of the country
superstar had some STRONG OPINIONS about an interview she gave with Redbook in
which she talked about "missing" her chance to have a bunch of kids
because she's 35 years old.
"I’m 35, so we may have
missed our chance to have a big family. We always talk about adoption and doing
it when our child or children are a little older."
Those two sentences unleashed a
commotion of emotions. Some fans were
supportive and lauded her openness. Others encouraged her to keep trying. The
"Cry Pretty" singer is married to Mike Fisher, 38, and they share one
child together, Isaiah, 3.
But — wow — others took her
comments personally, seeming to say keep your opinions about your ovaries to
yourself.
More women 35 and older are having
children
More women ages35 and older are
giving birth, according to Centers for Disease Control health statistics.
But it's also well known that
fertility problems increase with women 35 and older, who the medical industry
refers to as those of "advanced maternal age," formerly known as —
shudder — "geriatric pregnancy."
About one-third of couples in
which the woman is older than 35 experience fertility problems, according to
the Office of Women's Health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services.
Several fans came to Underwood's
defense following the backlash, effectively saying lay off.
