A leading fertility clinic on Monday said it has been inundated by career orientated women who are eager to have babies.
It said many South African women delayed having children, but to their mid-30s and early 40s.
Vitalab said their practice treated between 130 and 150 patients every month.
Many cut back on luxury items in order to pay for treatments which cost roughly R30,000 per cycle.
Fertility specialist Dr Lawrence Gobetz said, “The fact that women are delaying their child bearing is causing difficulty and often they are trying to commence their family unit at an age of 37 or 38-years-old, when the females are really made to have their babies between the ages of 18 and 24 years old,” he added.
