Get pregnant or don’t, how is that a concern to me?
Because every society where the average person starts a family before age 24 is described as “developing” or “impoverished” or and every society where the average person starts a family after the age of 28 is described as “industrialized”.
You are swapping correlation and causation to some degree.
A country does not become industrialized by people starting to have kids at a later age. Rather, people start getting kids when their circumstances allow it: in industrialized countries, you rely less on children to provide for you when old, as there hopefully are social systems in place or you can save up on your own. Downside is, without social systems you also have to provide for yourself at old age, meaning people need to build up more savings before they feel ready for the financial burden a child is for around 20 years.
In developing countries, children often get little support above bare necessities and start contributing to the household income at a much earlier age, even before hitting their teens.

I challenge you to find an exception.
