Taylor Swift is set to turn 30-years-old on December 13 and apparently this means she has to settle down and have kids.

When women reach a certain age they are bombarded with questions about their family plans, how many kids they want to have and when they’re going to get married.

We’ve all experienced this at some point in our lives, whether it’s the awfully nosey aunty asking when you and your beau are going to tie the knot or the obnoxious neighbour passing remarks about how you ought to hurry up and ‘squeeze a few puppies out’.

During an interview with Deutsche Presse-Agentur, a journalist asked the Shake It Off singer if she was planning on settling down to start a family now that she is approaching her 30th birthday.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on

Swift replied with grace and simply stated: "I really do not think men are asked that question when they turn 30. So I'm not going to answer that question now."

The presumption that every single woman on the planet wants to have a bump and ring on her finger by the age of 30 is beyond dated, and extremely sexist.

Did it ever occur to those who ask these absurd questions that some women don’t want to get married, others may be happier single or simply don’t believe in marriage?

Marriage is one thing, but quizzing women about their family plans and ‘advising’ them to get pregnant at this age is simply ignorant. You never know what is going on in someone’s life, especially when it comes to their fertility.

Millions of people struggle with infertility around the world. An estimated 10 percent of Irish women suffer from polycystic ovaries, which makes it harder for women to become pregnant and increases the risk of developing complications during pregnancy.

Other women simply don’t want to have children and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that decision.

Taylor Swift’s response to this rude question was completely fair and I couldn’t applaud her more for it. It is a personal question that can make women feel pressured, uncomfortable and distressed.

I’m sure the interviewer didn’t mean to cause offence but his ignorant notion has certainly highlighted a vital conversation about the expectations placed on women when they reach their 30s.

Reality television star Jess Shears has just confirmed that she's expecting her first baby with former Love Island co-star and husband Dom Lever.

The couple appeared on the popular ITV show in 2017, and have just shared a lovely image of their sonogram alongside a snap of Jess' growing baby bump.

28-year-old Dom is also showing cradling his own tummy, in a show of support to the woman he married only last year.

Dom shared the image to his Instagram, captioning the snap, "Living the dream." His 25-year-old wife posted an identical image, writing, "The best is yet to come"

This will be the first baby for the couple, who got engaged just three months after the series ended after getting off to a bumpy beginning.

Jess was accused of cheating on Dom with fellow Love Island contestant Mike Thalassitis after they both got evicted from the villa, but the scandal was later put behind them.

The pair got married in Greece last October in a small ceremony attended by only 22 guests.

The couple are also infamous for their staged wedding on Good Morning Britain back in February of 2018, but the live TV nuptials weren't legally binding.

Eight months later, they tied the knot officially and now there's a brand new family member on the way. We wish the newlyweds a warm congrats on the pregnancy, and can't wait for more baby bump photos.

Stacey Solomon is set to welcome her third child into the world in a matter of weeks and there’s no doubt the mum is feeling as excited as ever about the pending arrival of her newborn.

However, Stacey has admitted she has felt pressure from people because she has had each of her children with a different dad.

The Loose Women panelist opened up to Closer magazine about her family and stressed that we need to break the stigma about having babies with different dads.

She said: “I did feel guilty about having babies with different dads. I didn't want my kids to have a negative or confused upbringing. There's a stigma about having babies with different partners."

The soon-to-be mum-of-three added: “I've definitely felt pressure from people – people I don't know, and even people I do know. Even those close to me have had their opinions on it, and that can hurt."

Stacey said she doesn’t let these comments get to her. She knows that her two boys- seven-year-old Leighton and 11-year-old Zachary- will always be loved and cared for, no matter what.

“My boys are incredibly loved – by me and their fathers, and by Joe, who is just another positive male role model in their lives. And that can only be good for them. They are so content and confident and happy,” she revealed.

Jameela Jamil has opened up about having an abortion when she was younger.

The Good Life actor took to social media to reveal that she underwent the procedure after falling pregnant at a young age. 

The 33-year-old said that the decision was the best one she ever made as she wasn't ready for it emotionally, psychologically or financially. 

Jameela Jamil

She wrote, ''I had an abortion when I was young, and it was the best decision I have ever made for me and, for the baby I didn’t want and wasn’t ready for emotionally, psychologically and financially. So many children will end up in foster homes.''

She continued, ''So many lives ruined. So very cruel.''

Jameela was speaking out against the new anti-abortion law, HB 481, in Georgia, America that will be coming into effect in 2020.

The law will ban abortion at ''any stage of pregnancy.''

Jameela called the law, ''upsetting, inhumane, and blatantly demonstrative of a hatred of women.''

She added, ''It is a disregard for our rights, bodies, mental health, and essentially a punishment for rape victims, forcing to carry the baby of their rapist. I’m so stunned that our world is not only behind, it’s moving backward. This hurts my heart in so many different ways, and in particular as a rape victim. I can’t imagine having fallen pregnant and being FORCED BY LAW to carry his baby to term, and see someone who looked like him every day, otherwise, I can get the death penalty?!''

Jameela Jamil

Her followers showered her with supportive comments, with one saying, ''I’ve been loudly screaming this since becoming pregnant myself – forcing a woman to carry a baby she does not want should be considered torture. I live in Canada. Abortion here is a non-issue. I’m angered for Georgia and the US.''

Others were not of the same mind, with one writing, ''Just say it was the best for you, I understand. Don't say that being aborted was the best for that baby. Your baby. It wasn't.''

This is the first time that the former model has spoken about her abortion but she pleaded with her followers to help in fighting the ban and she hopes that by talking about what she went through, it will help other women to feel less alone.

And sister Kourtney has now spilled the beans while filming the Ellen DeGeneres Show, which is set to air today. 

Kris Jenner was a guest on the TV show and was surprised when Ellen invited all of her grandkids and eldest daughter to join her.

When Ellen mentioned that Kim was supposed to be there, Kourtney revealed that Kim had to rush to the hospital.

She said, ''My mom doesn't even know this but Kim's surrogate went into labour.''

She continued, ''So, she's at the hospital."

Kris was shocked and said, ''No! What are we doing here?! C'mon Ellen."

Her grandkids who were on the show were Penelope Disick, Mason Disick, Reign Disick, North West, Saint West and Chicago West – and they didn't seem fazed by the news.

Reign added, ''No more! I'm done with this conversation.'' 

Good luck to the whole family – we wish them all the best with a safe delivery and a healthy baby.

Beyoncé is a powerhouse of a woman – singer, producer, performer, business maven, and mum.

And now the 37-year-old has revealed in her Netflix documentary, Homecoming, that she battled pre-eclampsia during her second pregnancy.

The movie does focus on her 2018 Coachella performance but she also touched upon her role as a mother to her three kids. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on

The singer is mum to seven-year-old Bue Ivy and one-year-old twins Rumour and Sir.

She got candid about suffering from pre-eclampsia when she was pregnant with the twins. 

She revealed how it took its toll on her saying, ''My body went through more than I knew it could.''

She weighed 218 pounds at the time of their birth and had a tough pregnancy, and this is when she developed high blood pressure and pre-eclampsia.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on

So what is it?

It is characterized by high blood pressure and is a leading cause of maternal death.

It is not preventable and symptoms of pre-eclampsia include severe headaches, abdominal pain, and changes in blood pressure. 

Beyoncé got honest about the fact that one of the twins' heartbeats stopped beating in the womb, so she had to have an emergency C-section.

She spoke before about suffering from the condition. 

She wrote in an essay for Vogue that she was "swollen with toxemia.''

She said, ''My health and my babies' health were in danger, so I had an emergency C-section. We spent many weeks in the NICU…My husband was a soldier and such a strong support system for me."

We applaud her for being so honest about the condition and opening up the conversation for other women who have been through the same thing.
