geriatric pregnancy

"Did you know that they call this a geriatric pregnancy?"

I refer to this as a geriatric pregnancy.

There aren't that many of us having what's horrifyingly called a "geriatric pregnancy" -- having a baby at 35 or older.

That inoffensive-seeming phrase actually contains within it the means to destroy an entire civilisation, with its divorces, its free love and its unmarried cohabitation, its geriatric pregnancies and its newborn babies using iPads in their incubators.
