[quote=Anonymous]Chances of having a healthy baby at 38 are good. I see a lot of fearmongering on this board about AMA by people who don't understand how to interpret statistics. As a previous poster pointed out, an unhealthy baby or chromosomal issue can be born to a mother at any age. While it's true that your relative risks increase with age, they are still quite low overall. The risks are lower still if you've carried a healthy pregnancy to term in the past and if you and your husband have none of the genetic risk factors they screen for. [/quote]
