That's a good point about it being difficult to extricate the characters from that scenario. And I think you're right that Martha talking about wanting kids is by far more likely!
I am kind of amused by your last paragraph though, because I happen to have a family member who was told at 20 that she would never have kids, and then at nearly 40 ended up with an "oops" baby! (At nine months pregnant she apparently threatened to go round to the doctor who originally told her that and just stand outside his house with a big arrow pointing at her belly...)
