[quote=Anonymous]The MAJOR risk with advanced maternal age (not so much advanced paternal age) is chromosomal defects, leading to such profiles as Down syndrome. Risks increase dramatically in your 30s, and even more dramatically in your 40s, and there's no way to sugarcoat that. If you have a healthy child, then parenting isn't really very different. You might be less active, but more mature and wealthier. At some point you might find yourself sandwiched between elderly parents who need your help, and kids who need the same. But it's all fine. You can do it. [/quote]
