In the end of the video, TikToker Suni asks her mother, “Who’s going to be keeping this baby?” joking about the situation’s practicality. Who will look after the infant? Her mother offers a light-hearted parting quip as they are both in disbelief, “What am I going to do? For who is going to retain this child?”
A growing number of women are opting to have children later in life, according to CDC data. In the United States, women 35 years of age and older were responsible for nearly one in five pregnancies as of 2021, up from just 7.4% in 2000. Although it is occurring in many racial and ethnic groups, this change is particularly prevalent among White and Asian women.
These later-life pregnancies seem to be caused by a confluence of personal, societal, and even technological elements. A lot of women are delaying having children in order to concentrate on their careers, further education, and obtaining financial security. A growing number of couples are opting to have children later in life, as seen by the rising average age of first marriage.
Reactions of netizens
TikTok viewers had an amusing response to the video, commenting on the odd circumstance without fail. A user made light of the mother’s age and the realities of changing diapers for people of all ages when they joked, “Adult diapers and Pampers are going to be so expensive.”
Another commenter was equally perplexed, writing, “Forget the pregnancy โ still getting my monthly at 64?! No sirrrrrr.”
