Especially if you're the daughter of someone as accomplished as Martha Stewart. Alexis Stewart, 42, opened up on Tuesday's Oprah about her fertility struggles, confessing that she spends a whopping $28,000 a month on fertility medication and procedures. (Martha's helping with the bills, naturally.) And while we tend to think that such a large investment of time and money is both silly and selfish considering the amount of needy children in the world, we were interested in some of the points that Stewart brought up, namely how celebrity magazines, by repeatedly presenting us with stories of successful women who've put off raising a family until their 40s or 50s, have created a "false illusion for women."
We're only hearing the great stories. Very few people can have their own baby at 45. They are probably using surrogate eggs.
