Great development.
Do you think it's pop culture/media that's got them thinking like this?

Yes.
I've had a couple women state they don't want to have kids and that they are annoying, too much work, etc.
But I've had a lot more say they think they can have kids later in life after their 'careers' have flourished. I mean seriously, lol at the 35-40 year old women wanting to have kids and acting as if it's completely normal. Sure they still can but it's far from the right time to do it and the risk are much higher for some sort of miscarriage/special affliction/etc.. But the Feminist crowd has been telling these western women that they can work for 15 - 20 years and then have a kid no problem after 35 so they all think it's doable, even though 35 is borderline and 40 is really too late.
I'd like to see some statistics, but my buddy's 35 year old wife had a horrible pregnancy and 15-hour labor where the baby almost died. She wants another kid and my buddy is like 'no way'. My other friend's late 30s wife had a similarly tough pregnancy. Another friend of our family had 2 kids after 35 - one is semi-retarded and stutters horribly and the other is in a mental institute.
I realize these are just data points and a small sample size ta boot, and don't mean anything on their own, but if that's my own personal experience I shudder to think what the authorities aren't telling us (indeed, they are not only 'not telling us' but lying to women that childbirth in your late 30s is not only fine but actually preferable). Common sense and a review of the history of humanity clearly show that most healthy babies were born by women in their late teens and early 20s, and women who had kids later in life usually also had had children during these ages.
I think there are also studies that state that women who have their kids before the age of 25 are like 2x less likely to get breast cancer.
In any case, I'm pretty sure that throughout human history that very few women didn't want to have kids, and if this is becoming a trend it's a signal that we're in serious trouble re child bearing and rearing. It's literally going against nature bc women are more focused on their careers, iPhones, photography etc.
