Hello everyone,
I have a strong wish to become a mother and I am already 30 years old. Because of medical reasons which I cannot disclose right now it is much better to get pregnant now for me. Also I don't know how long I will be able to be fertile in the future. Right now I am in a relationship with my partner, but we already know that it is going to end soon, because it doesn't work for us. I am thinking about other options such as sperm donation (really expensive) and private donation. I brought the topic up and my until now partner said we can have a child together as friends. So my partner is willing to donate their sperm. In this scenario I would be a single mother, which I would be anyways because I am not going to date any men in the future. Either I will have a family with another woman or become single mother and then get in another relationship with a woman. My parents support the idea of becoming a single mother. But I am not sure what the effect would be to have a child with my Ex on my mental health and also on the child. My partner said he will be there for the child and visit like once or twice a year. The role would be like of a uncle which is fine with me. My partner said that financially they would contribute as well. We didn't discuss everything yet although.
