You're completely forgetting that most women in the past were wifed up by 19. Once a woman starts having children she is not producing eggs, and things get pushed down the road.

Huh?

Women produce eggs up to the time of menopause.  Otherwise, where would the children come from?

A women is born with most of her eggs, by puberty she will have lost about half. Even after menopause she may still have a few left over but it's extremely difficult, nigh impossible without a miracle to get pregnant.

But she still has eggs, and they do not vanish after the first pregnancy (obviously).  Perhaps "produce" isn't the word, in that they already exist, they just ripen and mature, and are present if the woman is ovulating, which would be anytime between puberty and menopause, unless she is already pregnant (and there are rare occurrences even then, such that superfetation can occur given the right conditions).

No. You are misunderstanding everything I said.

It is a well known fact that women who start having their children early are able to conceive at a much later age. Think about it . Think about why.

Some women regret college, others do not. Then there are the handful of women who manage to do both, be married with children and go to college at the same time. I went to school with the children of one. The baby shower for Mrs. W. was an annual event. She became a CPA and for years, ran a business from her home. Living with her MIL, night school, taking the infant to school with her, and a very laid back husband who had a roofing business with his father and brothers who lived about a mile away was how they pulled it off. 

I’m not suggesting this to emulate. The W.’s lived in the right time, right place, and were the right people temperamentally.  After Mr. W. died, she was able to go on and run the family. The older children assisted as well, either with outside jobs or holding down the home fort.
