[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was 37 and the fetus tested positive for Down syndrome, the genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in extra genetic material from chromosome 21. Although chances are very low, I was one of those due to advanced maternal age. It happens. [/quote] It happened to me at age 37 (I terminated). I had two healthy subsequent pregnancies, latest of which at 43. Life is a crapshoot. [/quote] It also happened toe. I terminated. Odds are low. Very low, but it happens. [/quote]
