Here's a bit of news from Scotland, where not surprisingly, newly released figures reveal that women are waiting a lot longer to have babies. Of course, Scotland is not unique, as this is part of a wider trend all over Europe, and certainly in the United States. Interestingly, in Scotland, the fertility clinics generally only treat women up until the age of 40, whereas in the U.S., many clinics treat women well into their early to mid forties. Presumably, as women delay childbearing in Scotland, the clinics will be seeing (and treating) older women as well.
