Thousands of women are delaying having children for fear of not being the perfect mother, a report warns.
Almost
three-quarters of those surveyed said the pressure of juggling a career
and family life was putting them off trying to conceive.
Some
worried about being labelled as a ‘part-time’ mother if they worked, or
said they feared it would be ‘impossible’ to meet the expectations of
their in-laws, friends and colleagues.The report by
the Pregnancy Advisory Service also found that one of the main reasons
for women putting off starting a family was the struggle to find Mr
Right.
Other concerns included not feeling ready for the
responsibility a child, not owning their own home or simply not having
enough money.
