Breaking News: A Famous Woman Wants to Have a Baby

Wow. That’s not really a headline, is it?
Replace “famous woman” with “Naomi Campbell” and all of a sudden, the tongues are wagging, the rags are raggin’. This seems to be the biggest celebrity/fertility news today. According to numerous. online. sources. Naomi has undergone some surgery to “improve her odds of being a mum.” No additional details are offered. So, of course, less than kind folks have used the silence to satirically speculate:
though theories on the actual procedure range from a simple cut to remove an ovarian cyst through to a heart implant. Not a transplant, just an implant, removing the swinging brick in her chest cavity that has served her so well for the last few years.
Now, now! That’s not so nice.
Some ladies who have been trying to conceive for some time might scoff at Naomi’s simple request: “Now I can have a child I would like one” – knowing that sometimes it really isn’t that simple. But I think that most of us adhere to the basic rule of “if I wouldn’t say it to you in person, I won’t say it in my blog.” So you won’t find any more not-nice-about-Naomi here.
But apparently British tabloids do not adhere to that same rule.
What are your thoughts, dear readers, is this news?

Hmm, I am an advocate of talking nice too! But I understand the frustration of women thinking that they will just get pg when they want. unfortunately the ones who don’t know better seen to be the ones getting pg in the month of their choice. One of my cousin’s was talking about ttc #2 in the fall today. Her bil is getting married next July and she doesn’t want to have a newborn at the wedding. She knows what I went thru to get my boys. I just shook my head after she left in disbelief! NCLM
I don’t know what to think about Ms Cambell’s statement.
Leaving aside the issue of her episodes of public temper tantrums, I can only sadly observe that it is only in perfectly fertile (or with the $$$ to deal with the mere HINT of subfertility) celebrity land that considering your first child at the advanced maternal age of nearly 40 is such a safe bet that discussing it publicly is okay.

I think awareness about single women wanting to have a baby is a good thing. Do I think this is news – not really. But, it is nice to see folks talking openly about fertility treatments as an option even if they don’t address the real issues — it’s a start.
I want baby from family man what i should do
