Did you know that in 2020, more than half of the first-time mums were in their 30s? This is a far cry from 15% before 1981, 23% in 1991, an even higher than just over 10 years ago in 2011, where 43% of first time mums were in their 30s. Factors like education, careers, finances, relationships, and housing markets (looking at you, Sydney!) contribute to this trend.

But, here’s the kicker – our biology couldn’t care less about all that.

As fertility rates gradually decline with age, it’s crucial to understand fertility in your 30s. So, in today’s episode, I dive into the top tips to prepare your body for pregnancy in your 30s. We’re diving into stats, facts, modifiable factors, and of course,  some nutrition foundations to fuel your exciting baby-making journey.
