Comedian Melissa Rivers thinks the window may have closed on any chance of welcoming another baby and believes mother Joan Rivers would have urged her to have moved faster.

Melissa Rivers thinks mom Joan Rivers would think it is too late for a baby
What happens to the baby later in her life, Melissa Rivers wondered
She isn’t totally ruling out the notion of a baby … maybe
“A lot of people told me how incredibly difficult it would be for me to do. I’m over 50. I’m a single person … And I’m sure I could make it work, but I’ve really come to the conclusion that I’m not sure it would be fair to a child. You know, I’m not a hundred percent sure that it would be fair. Am I completely out of the market? No,” she said.
“But I don’t want to…people are like, oh well you could do special needs and they’re giving them a wonderful life,” she continued. “And I do think about that stuff, but I also think, is it really fair? Is it fair? That’s what it came down to. And everyone else, I was also told how difficult it would be for me to do.”
And added, “You have to check yourself and put someone else’s needs in front of what you or someone else, in front of what you want. Do I still want it? 100%. Do I think is the right thing to do. I’m not sure anymore. And believe me, I’ve cried a lot at nights with that realization.”
