The article -which included a double page spread inside - addresses so many important issues for women making the baby decision. One of the key reasons why women are delaying having children is the issue of discrimination at work - many women are aware that it is difficult to get back on the career ladder after having children and so are choosing to delay having children untill they are more established in their careers. However, this has massive ramification -with women finding their fertility has decreased as they become older.

Reducing discrimination against women with young children and pregnant women will make the decision whether to have children or not easier and more straightforward.
