If you feel under pressure to have kids, you’re not alone. Four in five respondents said that there is pressure on women to be mums.
When it comes to infertility, we’re pretty divided on how we see it.
Just over half (52 per cent) of you think it’s a taboo topic, yet 64 per cent of you said you or someone you know has experienced fertility problems.
It looks like some of us still have a lot to learn on the topic - only 41 per cent of respondents were aware of the things that can affect a woman’s fertility while 66 per cent said they didn’t know how much fertility treatments can cost.
