“Do Not Wait Until 30 To Have A Baby” – NHS Chief GYN Warns

One of Britain’s top NHS fertility specialists last night issued a stark warning to women: “Start trying for a baby before you’re 30 – or risk never having children,” the Daily Mail reports.

Consultant gynaecologist, Professor Geeta demanded that teenagers are taught about the dangers of delaying parenthood, because of the spiralling cost to the taxpayer of IVF for women in their late 30s and 40s.
Professor Nargund cites the agony of a growing number of women left childless as a key reason why fertility lessons must be included in the national curriculum. She writes,

‘I have witnessed all too often the shock and agony on the faces of women who realise they have left it too late to start a family.
