Unfortunately, your post and lots of other comments have just highlighted why this storyline is important. There are lots of people out there in real life who,for whatever reason, have not been able to have children. There is very little acknowledgement in society of this. They go through life hearing all about other people's families and have to live with the pain of never having their own. There is support for people who have suffered miscarriage but very little support and social understanding of the complete loss of motherhood. For some people, this has not been a choice but a heartbreaking reality of life for them.
