O well! What should we call over 40s unplanned Acontraceptive pre-menopausal conceptions and STIs?
Difficulty in deciding the correct terminology does not excuse such wildly inaccurate usage of the language as you employed in referring to 35 year olds as geriatrics!Originally Posted by dot
now Sailor, l refferred to their pregnancies as Geriatric pregnancies and not the women who chuck their diaphragms (OR whatevers) out the window.
Doesn't matter whether it's used as a noun or an adjective - it's just downright inaccurate! What would you think of "should know betters"?
Halle Berry's pregnancy was considered a geriatric pregnancy. l *knew* l remembered the term.. We should get onto the post-menopausal STIs now. Martha Stewart's cupcake recipes - Telegraph
Just because somebody else uses a term does not mean we should blindly adopt it - especially when it is clearly non-sensensical. In fact the term "geriatric pregnancy" is, by any normally accepted interpretation, an oxymoron.

The correct medical name for a woman over 29, pregnant for the first time, is an [FONT="Arial Black"]elderly primigravida[/FONT]. Guess what sex thought up that one.
