[quote=Anonymous]Our second DD was a surprise pregnancy and born when I was 42. We had to do IVF for our older DD and spent years trying for a second with no success, so it was quite the shock to find out I had conceived. I was a nervous wreck through all of the early scans, but DD2 is perfectly healthy. My midwives recommended some additional monitoring by an MFM due to my age, but my pregnancy was uneventful. I scheduled an induction at 39 weeks, just to avoid going longer at an advanced maternal age. Both of my grandmothers had children in their 40s. Back in the days before reliable birth control, this wasn’t such an odd thing. Of course there is an elevated risk, but only you can judge whether those risks are worth it for your family.[/quote]
