So what if there is an increase of .5 to 1 percent at 40 of a chromosonal abnormality? That is hardly an increase overall. You need to understand math better. There is nothing scary about these charts at all. Women have been having kids into their late 30s and early 40s for 100s of years.

The OP literally has 10 years before she needs to freak out.[/quote]

You've got to be someone with little exposure to kids with significant special needs. And you can't test for many of them in utero, like ASD. These graphs should scare you.[/quote]
Please stop. There is a lot we don't know about what leads to ASD, and the overwhelming majority of older mothers do not have SN kids. And younger moms also have kids with SN. Yes, the risk goes up. But the risk of OP having a kid with a father who does not want a child is 100%. You have to balance the risks.[/quote]

We know the risks go up with age. For some conditions, significantly. It's irresponsible to not acknowledge and consider that in family planning.[/quote]

Yet the people most touting these risks are 45+ men who want to scare 20 something women into having their children. Great family planing!! [/quote]

That's not good, either. The risk also goes up with the father's age.[/quote]
