You may have observed that friends tend to do similar things. Having a baby is no different. A recent study has shown that young women whose friends have had a baby are more likely to follow suit. Whereas such studies may not necessarily be applicable to your circumstances, being aware of social trends may sometimes impact on your choices.
The study focused on friendships formed later in life, which are more likely to be based on common future family orientations. After one woman in each friendship had a baby, the likelihood that her friend would also have a baby went up for about two years.
