Noted journalist Nell Frizzell explores what happens when a woman begins to ask herself: is it time for her to have a baby? There are common names for many periods of life: for example, adolescence, midlife crisis, but there is a period that many women between the ages of 30 and 40 face that does not yet have a name. Nell Frizzell calls them "the panic years." At this time, desires to start a family and build a career begin to compete with each other. Nell herself found herself in this situation, and she had to honestly answer herself whether she needed a child, or whether this desire was caused by pressure from loved ones. And having made a choice, convince your partner that it’s time to become parents. This book will help readers also ask themselves these questions and make informed decisions.
