Single Mothers
SOCIETY|February 2018

IN TODAY’S world of single mothers who have attained that status only because they lost their husbands prematurely, there is another small group emerging.

Dr Duru Shah
Single Mothers

This is the group of women who are professionals or women in careers who have not yet found the ‘right man’ with whom they would like to spend their entire lives. They know that their biological clock is ticking away and they are also aware that if they do not plan a pregnancy by the age of 35 years, their having a baby may become a distant dream. Freezing of eggs has become a wonderful choice to preserve their fertility, but sometimes they choose these options a little too late. This small group also consists of women in same-sex relationship.

It is very easy for single women to produce a child, all they need to do is to go to an IVF clinic and request for Donor Insemination. Sperm donors are selected as per their specifications from a sperm bank, and this is one of the easiest procedures to get a woman pregnant.
