[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Literally every woman we know who had a child around or after 40 has a child with health complications - from allergies to extreme disabilities.

Health issues with the child are nowhere close to the same with the fathers over 40.[/quote]

You must not be local to northern va? I run into a lot of “older moms” in my tiny social circle. Kids are all fine and rich.[/quote]

Hard to believe none of those kids have issues requiring special ed support. [/quote]

I live in northern Virginia in a wealthy area. (We chose the cheapest home in the good school neighborhood). This is not true. They may be rich, but there absolutely are a large number of kids with a range from mild to significant special needs with older moms and it's more so than those with younger. It's not PC to say it, but not only do I see it, but the research on risk would suggest what I see is likely to be accurate. You may know people who used surrogates, adopted, or just got really lucky. It's not that every older mom has a child with special needs. It's that the chances go up significantly.[/quote]
