The age of first time mothers in the U.S. is on the rise. Women are tying the knot later and more than ever are not marrying at all. Enter egg freezing: it’s a technology that was once used mainly for cancer patients but in 2012 the American Society for Reproductive Medicine lifted the “experimental” label and the number of women choosing to freeze their eggs as a way to preserve their fertility has since taken off. Even companies like Facebook and Apple are getting on board, offering it as an employee benefit. Guest host Katherine Lanpher and her guests discuss the growing popularity of egg freezing and what it means for motherhood, marriage and women’s careers.
