Don’t wait, Rita

THE sisterhood has praised singer Rita Ora, 26, for having her eggs frozen in her early 20s.

She says she wants a big family, but not yet — and her doctor advised: ‘Why don’t you put them away now and you’ll never have to worry about it again.’

What hokum. If she wants lots of kids, she should just get on with it in the conventional way. More and more women — the numbers have tripled in five years — are postponing motherhood by freezing, yet there’s no guarantee the technique will end in pregnancy.

Figures show that since 2001 only 60 UK babies have been born from the thousands of eggs that have been frozen.

Having children isn’t like buying a handbag, Rita. Putting them off until it suits you could leave you without any at all.
