[quote=Anonymous]My sister had her 4th at 42 and she has Down Syndrome and had some pretty serious additional health complications at birth (fortunately resolved now but required multiple surgeries.) My BiL is ten years older. Planning for her long term care takes serious effort because she will likely outlive them significantly. An acquaintance of mine just had twins at 45 after a lot of effort. They were born at 33 weeks because of pre-eclampsia. So far they’re doing well, but will likely have a prolonged stay in the NICU. Of course, I know plenty of other people who had smooth pregnancies at 43 and others who had challenges at much younger ages. But those are the two stories that come to mind when I think about age related complications. [/quote]
