Singer Kate Nash on the importance
of making your own mark
Welcome to
Stylist
Fertility, pregnancy and our
biological clocks regularly come
under scrutiny in the Press… and
bizarrely this seems to have made
our private choices fair game.
From the minute you declare
yourself happy
and settled with
your partner, the
questioning
starts: “So, when
ARE you going to
have kids, then?”
The surprising
thing is that this
is most likely to
come from other
women. People
who, usually, are quite sensitive.
And the reason? Our own personal
desire to find the answer. As a
generation of career women, we
are – on average – starting our
families later than ever before,
despite medical advice to the
contrary. So this issue we decided
to see if biological clocks can
be slowed down – whether that’s
through lifestyle choices or modern
science. Turn to page 40.
