Then its not meant to be.

Agree, the cost is mind boggling and i give gratitude everyday that i could do it. Amazingly some countries offer it for free to their citizens.

I have just watched this for a class I am about to teach. What did she end up having?

(Tishia Hill ) I hope everything turned out well for Rachel and baby and family thank you for being brave and vulnerable at the same time❤

Thank you

Look into who hosts tedx talks in your area. I was asked to audition to one In Hong Kong where I was living.

@@m00n78 oooh thank you

Sorry just seeing this now. It took the whole pregnancy to be honest! Even when i made the choice I was still Unsure but i knew i wanted to be a mum and also give my husband the opportunity to have his genetic children. As soon as they were born, I've had a second one now it has never crossed my mind about where the DNA came from. They are my body, my soul, my heart.

@@m00n78 thank you so much!!! so happy for you and that everything worked out. I just need to make my choice and as soon as I have done that, I wont look back either.

Sorry to hear that. I hope that you find success.

Agree! The costs are mind blowing.

Huh? 30 is not early

Some people don’t meet their partner until later in life. I didn’t get married until my late 20s; I know some others who also didn’t get married until 30s. Most of my friends had their first child in their early to mid 30s and perfectly healthy and easy time conceiving. I’ve known people in their 20s with fertility struggles.

I hear your pain. I hear your struggle. You are right. You need money to open these doors. If I had had longer I would have spoken on the financial burden it also brings. Sending my heartfelt wishes to you.

Hey girl. I hope you are doing well. I recently came across your comment about infertility problem you are going through. My prayers are with you. But I just wanted to know if you have done any treatment for it or are you still struggling with it??

Check out this blog called to make a mommy. Some of the intervention costs money but some are diet changes (eating clean) hope this helps. God bless.

Completely disagree! That’s not been my story.

You are a complete and utter moron and part of the problem. You need your head checked. I feel bad for any kids you have.

She was 41. That's very old to start.

It doesn't sound like you fully understand this topic. Plenty of women have been trying since their early 20s and still have biological barriers. Congenital uterine deformities, hormonal disorders, and male-factor infertility don't care about your age or politics; they're medical realities. If fertility issues are due to age, those women's journeys matter too, but you're grossly misinformed if you think infertility mainly affects older women who wanted to delay children.

You don t really know what are you saying. FAR from true!!! Women over 40 now days get pregnant ALL the time!!!

I'll be honest with you, I never wanted to have children and choose to be child free. As a child, teen,even now. I also don't understand the "pain & horror" about infertility. Children are sweet, adorable, funny & a big commitment. Though, I would rather be a role model or teacher that they will remember forever instead of having any of my own. I usually ignore topics of pregnancy & whatnot. Any person who chooses to be child free is immediately shunned & berated. That person has to explain themselves, meanwhile any one expecting is congratulated & that's that. Having children is such a forced topic, especially on women. Peopel believe that every woman on the planet earth desperately wants children. Yet people ignore the saying "Every child deserves loving parents, but not everyone deserves to have children". This is not to say that one does not simply deserves to have kids, rather to point out that some people do not realize the full responsibility of having a child that will become its own individual & are hooked on "baby fever". "I want a baby, I want a baby". Similar to how people go into relationships because they expect it to make them happy & solve their problems, & throw a tantrum when it doesn't.

@@togekissbliss Yes, exactly! But I know this is more than a mainstream media fad, there’s some illogical genuineness that’s yet to be explained as to why they’re passionate about childbirth that I don’t understand but want to. I want to know the sincerity behind it. ’ll either get an answer and a debate starts, or I’ll have whoever I ask reconsider their recklessness about bringing life into this imperfect world and take it seriously with more thought.

​@@KJetixsSuccessorWell, like I said, reproduction is so forced by society, so it only makes sense for some women to feel "lesser" or "failing" as a wife when they struggle in that regard. Religion could aslo be a big factor here. Yet people ignore "Just because you can, does not mean you should". However, I think it mostly has to do with the fact that society is so obsessed with blood in family & it disgusts me. For example, a sad couple will try ivf, & if they are able to get pregnant some other way, the woman will still complain that it did not grow from her womb. Or they will complain that adopting is not the same. No matter the options, they are obsessed with having their own flesh & blood disregarding options & have the nerve to cry " I never got to be a parent waa waa waa I'll never be a real mother/father". You saw the word real rigth? It disgusts me seeing how society has "this family is only blood" theme. Not to say that it's present everywhere but it still is. People fail to realize & accept that people in a genuine family will love & care for you with all their hearts regardless of the circumstances. Step parents, siblings, cousins,etc. People are so blind to realize that eveyone on earth shares the same blood. We are human aren't we? I also asked similar comments asking why women are so obsessed with being pregnant & have recieved 0 responses. Good luck with your search friend.

@@togekissbliss Thank you 🙏🏾. And to you as well. 👍🏾

Being a Mom is a status, title + continuation of your bloodline is the most important thing in the world. The risks are being calculated during the pregnancy thankfully to the modern medicine development, there are blood tests + ultrasounds to check baby's health. It is always an option to cancel unhealthy pregnanicy. Giving birth is not painful : use the best doctor for epidural anesthesia + pass the course about breathing at contractions. Lol I was sleeping at 7-9 cm opening thankfully epidural anesthesia (just was lying with closed eyes and was in good mood) Raising children is not hard : hire nanny + children are motivation to earn more I respect all choices. Just remember that women have more healthy eggs at their younger age. Wish you good luck

@@anbate I heard that childless women are much happier than women with children are.

@@cks7548 not exactly 😁 after 44 there is almost no chance for first pregnancy if you did not freeze eggs 🥚 so after 44 u will be told about something women have no longer choice for Children are blessing 🤩💫

@@cks7548 lol 😂
