[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can I be a supportive friend? What are her options realistically at this point?

I know she carries a lot of guilt over deciding to delay having kids, it is such a sensitive topic for her that I do not know what to say or what not to say. She has always said that her DH has always wanted kids and now she says that she is finally ready. I had mine in my 20's and 30's so I cannot directly relate.  Any advice?[/quote]
 
You can support her by finding her a very good psychiatrist.  She is 54 and if she should be successful she would be 74 when child is 20.  She is nuts and I hope no one will help in accomplishing something so absymally stupic and selfish.  [/quote]

I'm curious about whether you say anything so extreme about the many men who become fathers in their fifties.[/quote]

This is true, yes, but men don't have to range their bodies with fertility drugs and the stress of pregnancy to become fathers. They have to have endurance once the kid comes though and that is a valid point.[/quote]
