| Easy pregnancies and deliveries at 34, 36 and 38. The most difficult part was trying to lose the pregnancy weight at 38. |

| I was 36, got pregnant completely by accident and had an easy pregnancy and a pretty easy (albeit long) labor and delivery. |

| 35 and 38. Six months conception for both. Easy pregnancies for both. |

An easy pregnancy is just the beginning. So many of the over 35 moms end up having kids with some type of medical issue. What about the rest of the kid’s life — after the birth??? |

The vast majority don't. Yes, odds of special needs increase as a woman ages, but they are still relatively small. And risk isn't zero for younger moms, either. Just in my small circle of friends and acquaintances, I know two families who had children with Down Syndrome when the mother was in her 20s. |

| Pregnancies at 41 and 43. Hard getting pregnant but then the pregnancy and delivery was easy peasy |

| My third was at 35 and she was easy except I had to deal with two other children under age 4. Once my husband and I agreed on having a third I was pregnant very quickly. All I needed was a nice vacation to get pregnant. |
