My mum took drastic action to have another baby aged 51 but trolls savaged her and said her pregnancy should be illegal
A WOMAN who turned to IVF to have a baby aged 51 has been savaged by trolls who said her pregnancy should be “illegal”.
Kayla took to TikTok to share a video of her mum, after she went to New York to have two embryos implanted.
She then fell pregnant, and is now mum to a one-year-old son – as well as six other children.
But despite her happy family life, some people don’t agree with the method she used to fall pregnant, and took to the comments section of the videos to weigh in.
“Can’t you lose your medical license for doing IVF on someone over 45?” one person wrote.
“My mum had me at 42 – would never do that to my child tbh,” a third commented.
“Yikes, bad decision,” someone else wrote.
As another insisted: “I also feel that it’s unfair for the child to not have a father.
“Being that old, the possibility of the child becoming parentless is scary.”
“Six other kids and she wants another baby as a single parent at 51,” someone else wrote.
“I can’t understand that.”
“May I respectfully ask why?” another asked.
“Why all the sudden at 51? Especially alone? God bless her.”
To which Kayla replied: “She was dating a younger guy.
“They broke up but she decided to continue with having another baby.”
“I had my youngest when I was almost 36 and yeah, no – we age out of reproduction for a reason,” someone else said.
Others defended Kayla’s mum, with one writing: “She wants to be a mum and can actually provide for her child – what’s wrong with that?”
“My mum had me at 43 and she’s my best friend, ignore the hate,” another wrote.
As a third commented: “This is so awesome.”
