Apart from the financial aspect, is it wise to encourage women to have a child at the age of 42?
/// Fertility experts said the recommendations may encourage more women to delay having babies until middle age, which puts both mother and child at risk. Children born to women over 40 are more likely to have abnormalities, and mothers are more likely to have problems during labour. ///
Apparently this has all come about because of concerns in the NHS that the existing age limit could leave clinics open to legal challenges under new age-discrimination laws.

that could be the case, aog.
It seems though there is some debate over what is a miscarriage

(That refers to women of all ages so shouldn't affect the figures you give)
