No reason at all why a healthy 40 yr old woman can't have a baby. 50 is a different story, but 40 is fuck all.

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you on this.
My Wife and I have been trying for 4 years. We have gone through several rounds of IVF, and have talked to MANY doctors about this. In addition, my wife is a pediatric OT with her own practice.
In fact, getting pregnant with your first child after 40 is not only quite difficult, but also the chances of problems during pregnancy, downs syndrome, etc.... are MUCH MUCH higher after the age of 35. Just because medical science has advanced so much in the last 40 to 50 years has not changed biology.
