[quote=Anonymous]a year makes a huge difference at this point . A lot of you are saying your sister had her first at 40 or got married at 40 and had had her first at 42. This woman is already 43. BEST case scenarios is she rushes into something with a “good enough “ guy and has her first somewhere around 43/44. And that’s hard.

Op, I feel for her. I don’t know if it’s in her cards. A guy who wants kids at this age (and with someone her age- sorry, it’s true, most mid 40s dudes would pick a younger woman to mother their child if they even want kids)  is few and far between. She has to meet him, get comfortable and get him to agree to kids within about a year to have even the remotest chance, which isn’t emotionally healthy.

There’s no way in her position she’s going to get the never married guys with no kids who are catches. She won’t. So she might be stuck coparenting a kid later with a guy she had the kid with out of desperation.

Her best bet is to try to her a good settlement in the divorce to do artificial insemination and have a baby alone. It’s not ideal but divorcing at 42 with no kids when you want them is not the ideal situation. She will never get the ideal situation at this point in her life. That ship sailed. [/quote]
