I'm thinking of having a baby on my own.

I regularly have women who are in the same situation as this reader writing into the advice column on the topic I'm thinking of having a baby on my own in the Guardian.  If you haven't meet the right person by age 35, then considering having a baby on your own is an option to consider.  But as this woman points out,  it is a difficult choice, particularly when faced with negative options of others.
