Waiting room full of new moms and newborns. And soon-to-be-moms. And me.
Finally, my turn.
(skip details)
Doc : So you want to have children? I see here you said so last year. And ..no plans yet?
Me: well, yes. And no.
Doc : (in a very sweet voice) You know that as of 30 your fertility seriously decreases, and it takes another plunge downwards around 35, which is..(checks my file) ah, within one year. In my own experience, couples over 30 take about a year or more to get pregnant – if it all works out allright. So I’ll be honest with you: if you want children, and especially more than one, no, there is not that much time left.
Me: (nodding, smiling) Mhmh. Right. (as if I didn’t know all that already).
Outside again. On my bike, going very fast downhill. Sometimes the ice cold wind is a welcome excuse for watery eyes. And thank god for the Dutch goodies waiting for me at home.
