Ack! I had my last child at 38, and believe you me having my eldest at 24 was much much easier. As a young mother, staying up all night with a fretting infant is easier than staying up all night (as you know) with one at 38.
This woman is incredibly selfish and her doctors are immoral, IMO.
I was *only* 37 when James was born, but I certainly didn't bounce back afterward as easily as in my 20's.
I think there's something very twisted when a country such as Romania, which still has a very high rate of abortions, and has all those children in dreadful orphanages, also has doctors doing IVF on post-menopausal single women. Couldn't she have dealt with her guilt by supporting a crisis-pregnancy ministry?
