Even further then that, women who delay having kids are at far greater risks of many cancers (especially breast and ovarian cancers). Women who don't have kids at all are at further increased chance.
I think men tend to not relate to that given you guys are fairly fertile pretty much all your lives. Girls have a window though they have to shoot for.
