ellamac said:The number one child who is my godchild and who I adored, has now become a spoilt brat - sorry but there really is no easy way to say it, completely 100% spoilt. New baby never sleeps and never stops crying and my friend did not bond with this baby. Plus husband still has his life uninterupted! Manages to go out every Fri, Sat & Sunday! The new baby is now 3 months old and my friend honestly said that if she could turn back the clock she would - this is not what she wanted from life and wishes she never had second baby.
Similarly the chances of conception through intercourse are on average c. 20-30% if I recall correctly.RainyDay said:To say that IVF isn't guaranteed is an understatement. Success rates are around 25% and decrease significantly when the mother goes over 40.

Equally people/couples who decide not to have children should tell others to mind their own business when necessary.ney001 said:People need to be sensitive about these issues - if a couple choose not to have children they shouldn't have a stigma attached to them!
liteweight said:Every time I visited the in-laws, at some point in the day, father in law would let out a big sigh and say.."I think I'll die before I see grandchildren'. Used to find it very annoying. We had our first baby when I was 28 and that was 24 years ago. At the time all the nurses and doctors referred to me as 'the older mother' and all were warned to be careful with me because of my age having my first! How times have changed!
